EU-ECHA Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern brings new duties for companies 03.11.2008
ECHA has included 15 substances in the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) for authorisation. The list was published on ECHA website on the 28th of October. It will be regularly updated when more substances are identified as SVHC. ECHA urges companies to check their potential obligations resulting from the Candidate List.
On 8 October 2008, the Member State Committee unanimously agreed on the identification of 14 substances as SVHC. Beforehand, one substance was identified as SVHC without Member State Committee involvement, as no comments were provided during the public consultation. The Candidate List of the 15 substances is available on the ECHA website and in the table below.
The inclusion of the substances in the list generates immediate new legal obligations for the communication in the supply chain.” These obligations are linked to the listed substances on their own, in preparations and in articles and include providing specific information to the users.
