The Member States Committee of the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) has unanimously agreed that a further 15 substances of very high concern (SVHC) should be included on the REACH Candidate List of substances that may require authorisation under REACH.
ECHA is expected to formally adopt the decision and publish the 15 substances identified as SVHCs on the Candidate List in January, bringing the total on the list to 30.
The Agency is expected to recommend which of the substances should be prioritised for authorisation, and thus included in Annex XIV, sometime in the second half of next year.
Reminder: Since Switzerland is not a member of the EU or the European Economic Area (EEA), EU REACH regulation does not apply. Switzerland has its own chemical regulations adopting REACH-like registration and restriction requirements. Please refer to Swiss Chemicals Ordinance (ChemO) and Swiss Chemical Risk Reduction Ordinance (ORRChem) for more info.
