[Regulation]Regulation update: EU REACH SVHC (Jun. 25, 2025)

29 Jun 2025

EC 1907/2006 REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) is an integrated management system that regulates the procedures for the registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemical substances.


Regulatory Overview

  • SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) refers to substances designated based on the criteria in REACH Article 57.

  • In accordance with REACH Article 59(10), SVHCs are officially published through the Candidate List.

  • Once a substance is included in the Candidate List, obligations such as notification, information sharing, and SCIP submission arise.

  • SVHCs may later be added to the Authorisation List (Annex XIV) following continuous evaluation.
