What's on the REACH Candidate List?
Effective December 19, 2011,
the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) added twenty new substances to the Candidate List. When published online at
www.echa.europa.eu, this will bring the
total to 73.
For the first time, a substance (4-tert-octyl phenol) was listed for
endocrine-disrupting properties under Article 57(f). This
criteria is for probable serious effects that give rise to an
"equivalent level of concern" as CMRs,
PBTs or vBvPs.
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.

Manufacturers/producers/importers of substances on the Candidate
List have the following
REACH obligations: |
|
ê |
Substances 'in themselves' on the Candidate List: |
|
|
Safety data sheet must be provided to
industrial and commercial users from date of inclusion. There is no
quantity threshold |
|
ê |
Preparations containing
substances on the Candidate List: |
|
|
Safety data sheet must be provided to
industrial and commercial users if concentration of SVHC is at least
0.1% by weight for non-gaseous preparations or 0.2% by volume for
gaseous preparations. Required from date of inclusion. There is no quantity
threshold |
|
ê |
Articles containing
substances on the Candidate List: |
|
|
Safe use information per
Article 33 must be provided to industrial and commercial
users if concentration of SVHC in article is above 0.1% by
weight. Required from date of inclusion. There is no quantity
threshold |
|
|
Notification per
Article
7(2) must be submitted to ECHA if concentration of SVHC in
article is above 0.1% by weight; producer/importer's quantity is over 1 tonne per year
in the EU; and no-one has
registered the SVHC for that specific use. Effective date is
six months after SVHC is placed on candidate list, but not prior
to June 1, 2011. Separate
notification not needed if registration is required |
