The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has announced plans to add three substances of high concern (SVHCs) to the candidate list by the end of June 2025.

On June 16, 2025, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) announced that at its June 2025 meeting, the Member States Committee (MSC) had agreed to list two chemicals as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) and planned to include them in the candidate list by the end of June. In addition, the third substance will be added directly to the candidate list without the committee's review.

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.
