Seven Proposed SVHC Are Soliciting Public Comments
On August 31, 2015, seven substances proposed by ECHA, Germany, Austria and Sweden to be identified as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) have been approved and are soliciting public comments. The deadline for commenting is October 15, 2015. These 7 substances are proposed as SVHC because they can be carcinogenic, vPvB, PBT, toxic for reproduction and have probable serious effects to human health. If no objections arise from the public, the number of SVHC included in the Candidate List will increase from 163 to 170 by the end of this year.
