The European Commission has added nine substances from the SVHC Candidate List to the REACH Authorisation List (Annex XIV). As per Article 56 in the REACH regulation, substances listed in REACH Annex XIV may not be placed on the EU market (individually or in mixtures) or used in the EU after the sunset date unless the manufacturer has been granted “authorisation”. A total of 31 SVHCs are now on the authorisation list.
There are no exempted uses listed for any of the substances. Therefore all use of the substances (in the EU) after the sunset date will require authorisation. The sunset dates vary from August 22, 2017 through January 22, 2019.
