ECHA's Latest Update: New Proposals to Identify Substances of Very High Concern
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has initiated 14 new public consultations on testing proposals, with a submission deadline of 16 October 2025. These consultations are part of ECHA's ongoing efforts to identify Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) under the REACH Regulation. The inclusion of a substance in the SVHC Candidate List can trigger regulatory obligations, including authorisation requirements and communication in the supply chain.
