The European Chemical Agency has launched a new public consultation concerning four potential SVHC. Stakeholders can provide comments on these proposed SVHC until 18 October 2019. Comments will be taken into account when deciding whether the substances will be added to the ECHA Candidate List of SVHC.
Background
On 03 September 2019, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) published four 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 18 October 2019).
A decision will be made as to whether the substances will be included to the ECHA Candidate List of SVHC after the consultation.
