EU REACH

July 9, 2021 | Written by GreenSoft Technology, Inc.

8 Substances Added to EU REACH

EU REACH SVHC List now contains 219 Substances

EU-REACHOn July 8, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) announced the addition of 8 new chemicals to the EU REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) List.

Some of the newly added substances are used in consumer products such as cosmetics, scented articles, rubber and textiles. Others are used as solvents, flame retardants or to manufacture plastics products.

Most of the substances were added to the SVHC List because they are hazardous to human health as they are toxic for reproduction, carcinogenic, respiratory sensitisers or endocrine disruptors.

The 8 new substances are:

Substance Name EC Number CAS Number Reason for Inclusion Examples of Use(s) Link
2-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)propionaldehyde and its individual stereoisomers - - Toxic for reproduction

ECHA’s announcement of the additions can be found here. The full SVHC list can be found here.

The addition of these substances brings the total EU REACH SVHC List to 219 substances. The last prior addition was SVHC 211 in January.

The inclusion of substances in the EU REACH SVHC List brings immediate obligations for affected companies using the substances in their products above the stated threshold, including customer notifications and notifying ECHA through submissions to the SCIP Database.

GreenSoft can help with EU REACH compliance

The EU REACH SVHC List is typically updated twice per year, resulting in affected companies needing to re-evaluate their product compliance and possibly re-collect substance data from their suppliers.

GreenSoft helps manage this process for companies, including coverage for the SCIP Database, by performing data collection, data validation, substance calculations and report generation as part of our EU REACH data services.

Learn more about how our EU REACH data services can help your company with EU REACH compliance by contacting us.
