Companies’ obligations to inform their customers about 168 REACH Candidate List Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in their products changed on 10th September 2015 following the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling. 

The 168 SVHCs are substances which are known to cause cancer, change genetic material to cause mutations, cause birth defects and impair children’s development, be poisonous or have similar effects on human health and the environment.

Companies now have to inform their customers if any articles in their products contain an SVHC > 0.1% by weight of the article, instead of by weight of the product, and provide information on safe use according to European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) new guidance published 17th December 2015.
