 Reminder

The SVHC list is updated twice a year. With the continuous updating of the SVHC list, enterprises face more and more control requirements. Enterprises need to improve the risk awareness of their products. Within six months after the substances are listed on the SVHC list, eligible enterprises need to complete the SVHC notification in the articles. From January 5, 2021, article suppliers are required to submit to ECHA a SCIP notification of information on SVHC contained in articles.
