ECHA proposes seven substances for authorisation

Seven substances of very high concern (SVHCs) have been <link https: echa.europa.eu documents _blank>recommended by ECHA to be added to the REACH Authorisation List.

They have been prioritised from the Candidate List because of their intrinsic properties in combination with high volume and widespread uses, which may pose a threat to human health or the environment. Some of these substances are currently not used in the EU but could replace other substances recommended for or already on the Authorisation List. They are recommended to avoid regrettable substitution.
