Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) Candidate List
Intertek offers testing, consulting, and assessment services for Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) Candidate List compliance.
The European Chemical Agency (ECHA) has published the SVHC Candidate List. Once a substance is added to the Candidate List, REACH imposes immediate obligations on manufacturers and importers to declare the substances if present. Article 33(1) of the REACH Regulation states that manufacturers and importers of articles (products) are required to notify their customers of the presence of any Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in their products exceeding 0.1% by weight and provide instructions on safe use of the product.
The following is an overview of the current SVHCs and their possible uses:
