ECHA intends to add fifty-four new SVHCs to the Candidate List
time2012/11/12
ECHA launches a public consultation on 54 potential Substances of Very High Concern on September 3, 2012. The public consultation open for 45 days and has ended on 18 October, 2012. The future set of candidate SVHCs may take the total number above the policy target of 136 set for the end of 2012.
The European Commission has requested ECHA to prepare Annex XV dossiers for 37 substances on their behalf. Austria, Germany, the Netherland, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden and the United Kingdom have also put forward proposals for the identification of 17 substances.
Amongst the substances, 44 are proposed to be identified as SVHCs on the basis of their classifications as carcinogenic, mutagenic and/or toxic for reproduction [REACH Article 57 (a-c)]. One of these substances is also suggested as being of equivalent concern in accordance with Article 57(f) based on its endocrine disrupting properties. Five further substances are proposed to be of equivalent concern. Another five substances fare proposed to be identified as being persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) and/or very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB) in accordance with Article 57(d) and/or (e).

Note:
EC number, CAS number: the EC number including both anhydrous and hydrated forms of a substance and consequently the entries cover both these forms. The CAS number included may be for the anhydrous form only, and therefore the CAS number shown does not always describe the entry accurately.
PBT: Persistent, Bioaccumulative and toxic.
vPvB: very Persistent and very Bioaccumulative.
