Are You Ready for the June 2012 Changes to the REACH SVHC Candidate List?

26 Jul 2012

 A Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) is a chemical substance that is subject to requirements under the REACH (Registration Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals) Regulation in the European Union. June 18, 2012 saw the official release of the latest changes to the Candidate SVHC list. The changes include 13 additional substances to the list and the combination of two other substances, making the total substance count now 84. These added substances are another step to the increasing number of substances to be controlled in Europe.

Once a substance is added to the Candidate List, REACH imposes immediate obligations on manufacturers and importers to declare the substances if present. The Regulation states that manufacturers and importers of articles are required to notify their customers of the presence of any Candidate SVHC in their products exceeding 0.1% by weight and provide instructions on safe use of the product.
