ECHA Candidate List of SVHC
The authorization process begins when a Member State or the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), acting on the Commission's request, proposes a substance for identification as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC). This process aims to ensure that SVHCs are gradually replaced with less dangerous substances or technologies where technically and economically feasible alternatives are available. This identification process includes a 45-day consultation period. Once a substance is identified as an SVHC, it is added to the Candidate List. Substances on this list are considered for eventual inclusion in the authorisation list (REACH Annex XIV). The inclusion of a substance in the Candidate List creates law obligations for the companies producing, importing or using these substances as such, in preparations or in articles.
