REACH CANDIDATE LIST OF SVHC TO EXPAND

HARDLINES, SOFTLINES, ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC

SAFE GUARDS

The second list of 15 proposed substances of very high concern for the candidate list for authorization is now under public consultation until October 15th , 2009. If the proposals are then agreed by all member states for inclusion on the candidate list, the expanded list may be published by December 2009.

NO. 153/09 SEPTEMBER 2009

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) published on 1 September, 2009 the proposals to identify a new list of 15 chemicals as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)1. Companies concerned by these changes are invited to submit scientific comments on the identification of the substances as SVHC and any additional information related to use, exposure, safer alternative substances and potential risks. The new list of potential candidate SVHCs was established within a short period of time from nine substances of the ECHA “current

intention list” where Annex XV dossiers have been submitted by EU member states.

Additional Annex XV dossiers have been submitted in August for six substances concerning SVHC and it is worth noting that these substances have not been previously posted on the “current intention” site. Figure 1 represents the composition procedure of the current public consultation list.

PROVING COMPLIANCE

It is recommended that each producer/importer establishes routines to ensure documentation of their REACH compliance activities:

? Supplier Validation that SVHC’s are not used

? Safety Data Sheets of input materials

? Supply contracts and documentation of their implementation

? Chemical analysis reports (Technical Evidence)

? Supplier Auditing etc.

Screen testing for SVHC can be the most appropriate for consumer products especially due to supply chain complexity, ability to produce bill of substances within the given timeframe and accurately identify any SVHC used in a product. Testing can be a quick and efficient method to identify if any SVHC exist in a product and whether they are above the 0.1% threshold for communication requirements. Armed with strong expertise and remarkable technical support, SGS is able to offer cost-effective SVHC screening solutions as well as SVHC target quantification and technical data sheets for consumer products and packaging through our global network of laboratories including China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey.
