REACH One New Substances Listed as SVHC

On 10 June 2022, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) announced one new substance will be viewed as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) and has been added to the Candidate List under REACH regulation (EC) 1907/2006.

The ECHA Candidate List now contains 224 substances.

Background
After inviting interested parties to comment on the addition of a potential new SVHC, the Member States Committee agreed on including the one new substance to the ECHA Candidate List. Therefore the list now contains 224 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.
