Regarding SVHC
SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) is a term in the EU REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation, meaning "substance of very high concern". These substances are considered to have serious or irreversible effects on human health or the environment, or may have unacceptable long-term effects on human health or the environment.
The REACH regulation requires manufacturers and importers to report the use of SVHC in their products if the concentration exceeds 0.1% by weight and the total weight of the substance produced in the EU market exceeds 1 ton per year.
According to the Waste Framework Directive (WFD) - Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Union, if the SVHC substance in an item exceeds 0.1%, a SCIP notification must be completed.
