On October 1, 2019, the European Chemical agency (ECHA) submitted it’s ninth recommendation to the European Commission for substances to be added to the REACH Annex XIV Authorisation List. This recommendation includes 18 substances that are currently on the REACH Candidate List of SVHCs (Table 1).
When a substance is added the Authorisation List it’s given a sunset date. Once the sunset date has passed, no one in the EU may manufacture or use the substance unless they’ve been granted an authorisation to do so.
