On January 23, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) added five new chemical substances to its list of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) (also known as the list of substances for Candidate Authorization).The total number of entries in the SVHC substance list reached 240
One of the five new SVHC substances has:Reproductive toxicity, three are:Highly persistent, highly bioaccumulative material (VPVB)., one hasReproductive toxicity and persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity (PBT).。They are applied to:Products such as inks and toners, adhesives, sealants, and washing and cleaning productsMiddle.
In addition, the ECHA updated the rationale for inclusion of an existing entry (dibutyl phthalate (DBP)) to include the endocrine disrupting properties of the substance to the environment.

Note: Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (CAS 84-74-2) was added to the SVHC list on October 28, 2008. After this update, its SVHC attributes are reproductive toxicity (Article 57C) and endocrine disrupting (Article 57(f) - Environmental and human health).
These substances may be further added to the authorized list in the future (i.e. Annex XIV of the REACH Regulation). If a substance is on this authorized list, it will be prohibited from use unless the company applies for authorization and the European Commission authorizes it to continue its use.According to the EU REACH Regulation, when the substance used is included in the list of SVHC substances and contains concentrations of more than 01% (by weight), whether it is the substance itself, the mixture or the article, the production enterprise has the corresponding regulatory obligations.
When SVHC is marketed as a substance, the merchant needs to deliver (E)SDS to downstream users.
When SVHC is a constituent substance in a mixture and the content is 01%., the vendor needs to pass (E)SDS to downstream users.
The article contains SVHC, and the mass fraction of the substance is 01%.Businesses are required to transmit information in accordance with regulations to ensure the safe use of items. In addition, according to the Waste Framework Directive (WFD), if a company produces an article containing a concentration of more than 01% SVHC substances, the relevant company must also submit an SCIP notification to the ECHA.
The article contains SVHC, and the mass fraction of the substance is 01% and the total amount is 1t y, and the SVHC must be notified to the official according to the regulations. Importers and manufacturers must notify the ECHA of SVHC notification within six months from the date of their listing (23 January 2024) if their articles contain substances on the SVHC Substance List listed above.
The Yiler standard reminds chemical enterprises exporting to Europe to check the product information in time to check whether it is affected and carry out it if necessaryRelevant SVHC testing and issuance of a declaration of conformityetc., and timely fulfill the corresponding regulatory obligations so as not to affect the normal**.
