Helsinki, 8 July 2021 - ECHA has added eight new substances to the Candidate List. Because they have a combination of endocrine disrupting properties and other attributes of interest. The latter may have serious effects on human health and the environment, causing carcinogenic, mutagenic and reproductive toxicity (CMR), persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity (PBT) and very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB) substances The same level of attention. From January 2021 onwards, they also have to notify ECHA under the Waste Framework Directive if their products contain substances of very high concern and the concentration exceeds 0.1%.

AGC Note: Companies may have legal obligations resulting from the inclusion of the substance in the Candidate List. These obligations may apply to the listed substance on its own, in mixtures or in articles. In particular, any supplier of articles containing a Candidate List substance above a concentration of 0.1% (weight by weight) has communication obligations towards customers down the supply chain and consumers. In addition, importers and producers of articles containing the substance have six months from the date of its inclusion in the Candidate List (8 July 2021) to notify ECHA.
According to the Waste Framework Directive (WFD)-Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Union, the SCIP notification must be completed if SVHC substances in articles exceed 0.1%.
