On January 17, 2013 the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) recommended 10 substances for inclusion on the SVHC list. The 10 substances are:

#	Substance name and SVHC property	Uses in the scope of authorisation (examples)
1	Formaldehyde, oligomeric reaction products with aniline (technical MDA) (carcinogenic)	Hardener for epoxy resins; curing agent for polymers
2	Arsenic acid (carcinogenic)	Used to modify properties of glass and in the production of printed circuit boards
3	Dichromium tris(chromate) (carcinogenic)	Anti-corrosion surface treatments of steel and aluminium in the construction and the aeronautic sectors
4	Strontium chromate (carcinogenic)	Anti-corrosion coatings in the aeronautic/aerospace, coil coating and vehicle coating sectors
5	Potassium hydroxyoctaoxodizincatedichromate (carcinogenic)	Anti-corrosion coatings in the aeronautic/aerospace and vehicle coating sectors
6	Pentazinc chromate octahydroxide (carcinogenic)	Anti-corrosion coatings in the vehicle coating and the aeronautic/aerospace sectors
7	Bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether (Diglyme) (toxic for reproduction)	Primarily used as a reaction solvent or process chemical in distillation applications; further in batteries and in the production of plastics
8	N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) (toxic for reproduction)	Solvent in synthesis, the production of synthetic fibres, in industrial coatings, paint strippers, insulation paper, films and membranes
9	1,2-dichloroethane (EDC) (carcinogenic)	Solvent in the manufacture of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals and in mixtures for biochemical applications
10	2,2'-dichloro-4,4'-methylenedianiline (MOCA) (carcinogenic)	Curing agent in resins and in the production of polymer articles
