IEC 62474 declarable substance list update planned for late December 2015

The next update to the IEC 62474 declarable substances list is being planned for mid or late December 2015. The actual release date will be dependent on when ECHA updates the REACH Candidate List of SVHCs. If all of the change requests currently undergoing voting are approved, the following changes are expected:

  • Five of the seven SVHCs proposed by ECHA for the REACH Candidate List are expected to be added.
  • The reporting threshold for the four phthalate substances that were added to the EU RoHS Directive will be updated to 0.1 mass% in homogeneous materials.
  • Other editorial changes to some of the DSL entries and the reference substances
