New SVHCs are added to the candidate list twice a year, usually in June and January. The substances on the candidate list may continue to be used, but a reporting obligation applies to customers of products containing such substances from 0.1% mass percentage (w\/w).<\/p>\n<p>The ultimate goal of the REACH reporting obligation is to control the risks posed by SVHCs. Non-hazardous alternatives should gradually replace substances that have been proven to pose a risk to the environment or health. Substances that meet at least one of the following criteria are included in the SVHC candidate list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>carcinogenic<\/li>\n<li>mutagenic<\/li>\n<li>reproductive toxic<\/li>\n<li>(very) persistent<\/li>\n<li>(very) bioaccumulative or toxic<\/li>\n<li>endocrine disrupting<\/li>\n<li>persistent, bioaccumulative or toxic potential.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, sooner or later, an SVHC substance will also be included in the REACH authorization list or in Annex XIV of the REACH Regulation. From the \u201csunset date\u201d specified there, the substance may no longer be imported, manufactured, or used in European production. The time between listing on the candidate list and listing on the authorization list can vary.<\/p>\n<p>Manufacturers are obliged to disclose information to their customers about substances listed in the REACH Authorization List. Special regulations and reporting requirements apply to products containing such substances.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation contains substances that may not be produced, used, or placed on the market, or may only be produced, used, or placed on the market under certain restrictions, due to their health risks or environmental hazards. This annex is continuously amended and supplemented by amending regulations. Restrictions may apply to individual substances as well as mixtures or articles containing a specific substance. REACH can therefore affect the entire supply chain, from manufacturers to importers and distributors to downstream users or those placing products on the market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-7713\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-7713\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">PFAS - the forever chemicals<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-7713\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-7713\"><p>PFASs \u2013 often referred to as \u201cforever chemicals\u201d \u2013 encompass a range of 4,000 to 10,000 perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl substances. The exact number depends on the definition used. These chemicals are found in numerous everyday products, such as outdoor clothing, cooking pans, car seats, paper coatings, cosmetic products, and agents used to treat metal and plastic surfaces. The problem with these substances is that they degrade extremely slowly in the environment and can enter the human body where they can inflict harm, such as liver damage, kidney cancer, and elevated cholesterol. So far, only the production and marketing of individual substances such as PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid, C8) and, since February 25, 2023, perfluorinated carboxylic acids with nine to fourteen carbon atoms (PFNA, PFDA, PFUnDA, PFDoDA, PFTrDA, PFTeDA) have been restricted throughout the EU.<\/p>\n<p>On January 13, 2023, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden submitted a proposal to the ECHA to completely ban PFASs in the EU. Their goal is to reduce PFAS emissions into the environment and make products and processes safer for people. Following a six-month consultation period, the ECHA will start its evaluation from the end of September 2023. Possible restrictions could be in place from 2025. However, there will likely be transition periods ranging from 18 months to 12 years.<\/p>\n<p>While many scientists and the Bund f\u00fcr Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland (BUND) welcome the move, there are experts who warn against \u201cscaremongering\u201d. Additionally, the industry is advocating for a differentiated approach, urging that these substances and their respective applications be evaluated individually rather than introducing a blanket ban. The toxicological effects have not been proven for all of them, and there are often no alternatives available. It is also argued that an assessment of potential harm must be balanced against the benefits of these substances.<\/p>\n<p>A complete PFAS ban is also under discussion in other countries.

This is followed by an assessment of whether alternative substances or technologies can be used and whether the chemicals used are REACH-compliant. If exposure does not exceed certain thresholds or if socioeconomic benefits outweigh the risk, ECHA grants its authorization.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chemicals that are already adequately regulated by other legislation may be exempted from REACH reporting requirements in whole or in part. Among experts, for example, there is a debate as to whether the RoHS Directive has become obsolete since the introduction of REACH, since there are certain overlaps. This leads to duplicate regulations for importers and manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information submitted to ECHA via the registration process is publicly viewable via a REACH database. This does not include data for which companies have submitted a (fee-based) request for confidentiality (link to ECHA&#8217;s PDF &#8220;How to protect your confidential business information&#8221;). Among other things, the REACH database contains information on the chemical and physical properties of substances and their toxicity to humans and the environment, as well as the quantities marketed in the EU each year. In this respect, REACH also makes a significant contribution to the &#8220;democratization of risk knowledge.&#8221; In May 2021, the database contained 23,197 substances and 100,979 dossiers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-7715\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-7715\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Risk of confusion: REACH and SCIP reporting obligation<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-7715\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-7715\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The so-called SVHC reporting obligation or REACH reporting obligation has existed since the European chemicals regulation REACH was introduced in 2007.

However, the obligation to register in the SCIP database is not based on the REACH Regulation, but has a different legal basis with the so-called Waste Framework Directive than the REACH reporting obligation to the customer in the presence of a SVHC.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both reporting obligations coexist and the obligation to enter the SCIP database does not replace the obligation to inform the customer, which results from Article 33(1) of the REACH Regulation.

Here, in addition to the registration number, restrictive information on use and the approval requirement are recorded, among other things. The EU Chemicals Regulation regulates the exact conditions for creating, forwarding and storing Material Safety Data Sheets. The CLP\/GHS Regulation also specifies internationally valid conditions for the creation of Material Safety Data Sheets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the automotive industry, the international material data system IMDS is an important source for assessing whether products are REACH-compliant. In the IMDS, all materials for vehicle construction are communicated, archived and managed. In 2021, about 14,000 SVHC substances were recorded in the IMDS. The material data documentation system helps automotive manufacturers and their suppliers meet obligations arising from customer product requirements and national or international laws, norms, standards and regulations such as REACH. By submitting an MDS in which an SVHC has been identified to the customer, the supplier has fulfilled its information obligation under Article 33(1) REACH. In addition, the entry in the SCIP database, which has been required since January 5, 2021, can also be transmitted directly to ECHA via an interface in the IMDS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Products and articles are considered REACH-compliant if they meet all the conditions of the EU Chemicals Regulation. To facilitate the verification, the tool &#8220;REACH Report&#8221; has been developed in the IMDS. However, this is only available with the additional software &#8220;A2 &#8211; Advanced Accelerator&#8221;, which is subject to a charge, and is not included in the free basic version of the IMDS. This report contains all data assigned to a company listed in the IMDS. Material data created by the own company in IMDS or received from suppliers are recorded. Weight information on parts, data on materials and pure substances as well as a classification in REACH\/SVHC or GADSL substances are also listed. By the way, the official reports of the ECHA within the framework of the review procedure, which takes place every five years, are also referred to as REACH reports.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can advise you on which databases, software solutions and tools will make your work easier: IMDS, CDX, ipoint, BomCheck, and DataCross are among the solutions that can provide you with information across the entire supply chain.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-7717\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-7717\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\"> Helpful links on REACH<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-7717\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-7717\"><table width=\"630\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"470\">REACH Helpdesk at the German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAUA)<\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baua.de\/DE\/Themen\/Anwendungssichere-Chemikalien-und-Produkte\/Chemikalienrecht\/REACH\/REACH_node.html\">Link<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"470\">REACH information from the European Automobile Manufacturers&#8217;
