A public consultation on seven new SVHC Candidate List proposals was launched on August 31, 2015 and will continue through October 15, 2015. The new substances proposed for the SVHC Candidate List are listed in Table 2.
Additional information about the substances and the public consultation is available on the ECHA website . Assuming that no major discrepancies are identified during the consultation, the new SVHCs will likely be added to the SVHC Candidate List in December 2015.
The IEC 62474 validation team is currently assessing these substances to determine if they are constituents of EEE.
