Attention! The list of candidate substances for SVHC in EU has increased to 240

On January 23rd, 2024, ECHA listed the 30th batch of five substances in substances of very high concern (SVHC). At the same time, it updated the hazard types of dibutyl phthalate (DBP), which was listed in SVHC in October, 2008, and supplemented its endocrine disrupting characteristics to the environment. At this point, the REACH substances of very high concern list has officially increased to 240 items.

The newly added or updated material information is as follows:

REACH regulations stipulate that when the content of SVHC in articles is greater than 0.1%, information must be transmitted in the supply chain; When the content of SVHC in articles is more than 0.1% and the annual export volume is more than 1 ton, it must be notified to ECHA.

According to the EU Waste Framework Directive, from January 5, 2021, suppliers who put goods with SVHC content exceeding 0.1% into the EU market should submit the relevant information of the goods to ECHA through SCIP database.
