2021-03-31

SVHC ECHA Ecotoxicology


In the context of the authorization process, Member States Competent Authorities and/or the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), on request of the European Commission, could prepare Annex XV dossiers for the identification of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).

Substances that may have serious and mostly permanent effects on human health and environment can be recognized as substances of very high concern (SVHCs) and can include substances which are:

  • Carcinogenic, Mutagenic or toxic to Reproduction (CMR),
  •  Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic (PBT) or very Persistent and very Bioaccumulative (vPvB)
  •  Also, those substances which are identified, on a case-by-case basis, from scientific evidence that causing likely severe effects to human health or the environment (e.g. endocrine disrupters)

When a substance is recognized as SVHC, it will be added to the Candidate List and further eventually it will be included in the Authorisation List.  Following are the substances that are listed and may be included in the Candidate List. Proposals have been sent to submit the comments during the consultation.
