The ECHA has added seven (7) more substances to the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC), bringing the total now up to 53 SVHC substances. These substances were unanimously agreed to last week and have now been officially added to the list. The addition to this list means that these substances have immediate communication requirements. Once a substance is added to the Candidate List, REACH imposes immediate obligations on manufacturers and importers to declare the substances if present. Article 33(1) of the REACH Regulation states that manufacturers and importers of articles (products) are required to notify their customers of the presence of any Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in their products exceeding 0.1% by weight and provide instructions on safe use of the product.
