Mar. 6 2020

The European Chemical Agency has launched a new public consultation concerning five potential SVHC. Stakeholders can provide comments on these proposed SVHC until 17 April 2020. Comments will be taken into account when deciding whether the substances will be added to the ECHA Candidate List of SVHC. 

Background 
On 03 March 2020, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) published five new potential Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) candidates (see table). After preparing dossiers for the substances, the ECHA has now invited interested parties to a public consultation in which they can provide comments within a timeframe of 45 days (until 17 April 2020). 

A decision will be made as to whether the substances will be included to the ECHA Candidate List of SVHC after the consultation.
