Dossiers for 10 SVHC proposals were submitted by EU Member States in August and are now available for public consultation on the ECHA website. Only six of the proposals are for new additions to the SVHC Candidate List. The other four dossiers are proposing modifications to the existing entries for the Phthalates DEHP, DBP, BBP, and DIBP.
The four Phthalate proposals modify the reason for SVHC inclusion to include human health and environmental hazards as endocrine disrupters.
Information about the public consultation is available on the ECHA website[1]. The consultation closes on October 16, 2014. The 10 proposals under consultation are listed in the following Table.
