On June 18, 2010, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) added eight new substances to the Candidate List, bringing the total to thirty-eight. The list is published online (only) at www.echa.europa.eu.
The Candidate List is an important step in identifying SVHCs (substances of very high concern). Once a substance is placed on the list, the manufacturer/producer/importer has additional REACH obligations. Many substances on the list undergo further evaluation to see if they should be added to Annex XIV, which requires authorization from the European Commission prior to use.
These are the 8 new substances added which of course are also added to the ProductIP database requirement list.
