[Regulation]Regulation Update: EU REACH SVHC (Jan 21, 2025)

19 Feb 2025

EC 1907/2006 REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) is an integrated regulatory framework that establishes procedures for the registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemical substances.


Regulatory Overview

  • SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) refers to substances that pose significant risks to human health or the environment.

  • SVHCs are published on the Candidate List under REACH Article 59(10).

  • Once a substance is included in the Candidate List, obligations such as substance notification, information sharing, and SCIP submission arise.

  • SVHCs may be further assessed and eventually included in the Authorization List.
