A Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) is a chemical substance that is subject to authorization under the REACH (Registration Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals) Regulation in the European Union. On December 7, 2009, the ECHA Member State committee had voted unanimously to add 14 substances to the existing SVHC Candidate List, which will be formally updated in January 2010.
Once a substance is added to the Candidate List, REACH imposes immediate obligations on manufacturers and importers to declare the substances if present. The regulation states that manufacturers and importers of articles are required to notify their customers of the presence of any SVHC in their products exceeding 0.1% by weight and provide instructions on safe use of the product.
