On 13 January 2010, the European Chemicals Agency has added 14 chemical substances to the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) for authorisation. Companies manufacturing or importing these substances need to check their potential obligations that result from the listing.
The substances which ECHA added on the candidate list are listed on the ECHA website. Decisions on whether the substances need to be subject to authorisation will be taken later.
Companies may have legal obligations resulting from the inclusion of substances in the list. These obligations can apply to the listed substances on their own as well as in mixtures and in articles. A short summary of the obligations is available on ECHA´s website.
