Regulatory obligations:
According to the REACH regulation, companies have a legal obligation when their substances are included in the candidate list individually, in mixtures, or as articles. If the producer, importer, or other supplier of finished products contains substances of high concern (SVHC) on the candidate list and their concentration exceeds 0.1% (w/w), they must fulfill the following obligations:
When the SVHC content exceeds 0.1% and the export volume exceeds 1 ton/year, an SVHC notification must be submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). If it is a newly added SVHC substance, the notification obligation must be completed within 6 months after the substance is added to the SVHC list.
According to Article 33 of the REACH regulation, when the SVHC content exceeds 0.1%, the supplier of the item is obliged to provide sufficient information to the recipient to ensure the safe use of the item, including at least the substance name.
At the request of consumers, suppliers of items containing more than 0.1% SVHC should provide consumers with sufficient information free of charge within 45 days to ensure the safe use of the item, including at least the substance name.
Jiayu Reminder
Enterprises should closely monitor the updates of the SVHC list to ensure that their products comply with relevant regulatory requirements.
For substances or products containing SVHC, companies should conduct risk assessments and compliance reviews in advance.
During product design and production, enterprises should choose raw materials and processes that do not contain SVHC as much as possible.
In summary, the update of the SVHC candidate substance list has a significant impact on the production and sales activities of enterprises. Enterprises should actively respond, strengthen compliance management, and ensure that their products comply with relevant EU regulations.
