pr_10_01_candidate_list_20100113.pdfToday, the European Chemicals Agency has added 14 chemical substances1 to the
Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) for authorisation.
Companies manufacturing or importing these substances need to check their
potential obligations that result from the listing.
The substances which ECHA added on the Candidate List are listed below. Decisions on
whether the substances need to be subject to authorisation will be taken later.
Companies may have legal obligations resulting from the inclusion of substances in the List.
These obligations can apply to the listed substances on their own as well as in mixtures and in
articles. A short summary of the obligations is available on ECHA´s website
