ECHA: Four hazardous chemicals added to the Candidate List

2022-01-21

EU-REACH Chemical Category SVHC


The Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) now contains 223 entries. On 17th January 2022, ECHA added four hazardous chemicals that are commonly used in cosmetics to the candidate list.

Under the REACH regulation, companies have obligations if their substances are included in the candidate list, either as a substance in mixture, or in articles.

Manufacturers and importers of articles have to notify ECHA, if their article contains a Candidate List substance, within six months from the date it was included in the list (17 January 2022). Suppliers of substances on the Candidate List have to provide their customers with a safety data sheet (SDS).

If the products contain SVHC in a concentration above 0.1 % (weight by weight), companies have to also notify to the SCIP database.
