On January 15, 2019, the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) added six additional substances to the EU REACH Candidate List. The new SVHC entries are listed in Table 1. The IEC 62474 Validation Team has reviewed the substances for potential uses in EEE – SVHCs that are potential EEE constituents are shown with their typical EEE applications. There is now a total of 197 SVHC entries on the REACH Candidate List.
The full REACH Candidate List is available on the ECHA website[1].
