On July 9th, ECAH added eight chemicals to the Candidate List of SVHC, expanding the list from 211 to 219 entries. These newly added substances are used in consumer products such as cosmetics, scented articles, rubber, textiles, or as solvents and flame retardants. They are also used for manufacturing plastics products. The Candidate List contains hazardous chemicals that are toxic to human health, specifically in reproduction, carcinogenic, respiratory sensitisers, or endocrine disruptors. Companies may have legal obligations when their substance is included – either on its own, in mixtures or articles – in the Candidate List.
Importers and producers of articles containing a Candidate List substance have to notify ECHA within six months from the date of its inclusion in the list (8th July 2021). Suppliers of substances on the Candidate List also need to provide their customers with a Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
