SVHCS and Authorisation under Reach

摘要

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has added twenty SVHCs to the Reach Candidate List, from which substances are selected for authorisation under Reach (SHE10300). Nineteen of the SVHCs are identified as carcinogenic and/or toxic for reproduction and for the first time, a substance (4-tert-octyl phenol) has been identified as an SVHC because of its endocrine disrupting properties. There are now 73 SVHCs on the Candidate List.
