Another 15 Substances Added To SVHC Candidate List
December 4, 2009
The Member States Committee of the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) has unanimously agreed that a further 15 substances of very high concern (SVHC) should be included on the REACH Candidate List of substances that may require authorisation under REACH.
ECHA is expected to formally adopt the decision and publish the 15 substances identified as SVHCs on the Candidate List in January, bringing the total on the list to 30. The second SVHC candidate list is listed as below:
