Proposed SVHCs?

SVHC is short for
substance of very
high concern as defined by Article 57 of REACH.
The evaluation process for SVHCs follows these steps (all documents
are published online at
www.echa.europa.eu): |
|
|
Proposed by EU
Member State or European Commission and published in the Registry of
Intentions |
|
|
Dossier prepared by
a Member State or ECHA according to instructions in Annex XV |
|
|
Public consultation for interested parties to submit comments and
additional information to ECHA (45 days) |
|
|
Opinion issued by ECHA Member State
Committee |
|
|
Decision issued by ECHA adding
substances to
Candidate List |
|
Most SVHC
evaluations end with the substance being placed on the Candidate

The
Registry of Intentions currently
lists six substances that will be evaluated as SVHCs (there
are also proposals for harmonized classification and labeling
and for restricted substances): |
