REACH SVHC Regulations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Under the REACH regulation, suppliers of articles containing more than 0.1% of an SVHC must provide information on safe usage to consumers and customers. Producers and importers of articles must notify ECHA if their product contains a substance from the SVHC Candidate List within six months of its inclusion on the list. Additionally, suppliers of SVHCs must provide a safety data sheet to their customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Companies are also required to notify ECHA if their article contains more than 0.1% (weight by weight) of an SVHC or if the total amount of the SVHC exceeds 1 ton per year. These measures aim to ensure that the risks associated with these chemicals are managed, and that appropriate information is provided to users of the substances.<\/span><\/p>\n
