On 17 January 2023, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) announced Nine new substances will be viewed as Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) and have been added to the Candidate List under REACH regulation (EC) 1907/2006.
The ECHA Candidate List now contains 233 substances.
After inviting interested parties to comment on the addition of potential new SVHC, the Member States Committee agreed on including the new substances to the ECHA Candidate List. Therefore the list now contains 233 substances in total.
Once a substance is put on the Candidate List, producers, importers or suppliers may have information obligations if the article contains more than 0.1% of an SVHC. Notification of the ECHA is required as well if the total amount of the specific SVHC exceeds 1 ton/ year. From 5 January 2021, article suppliers may also need to notify SVHC in their articles (i.e. more than 0.1%) to ECHA’s SCIP database under the Waste Framework Directive.
