Description
ECHA opened a public consultation on its draft 13th recommendation to include certain SVHC Candidate List substances in REACH Annex XIV (Authorisation List). This is an upstream step toward potential Annex XIV inclusion (which would later impose authorisation requirements and set latest application and sunset dates via subsequent Commission action). Compliance teams should review whether any recommended substances are used in products/processes and consider submitting comments and preparing for potential authorisation planning and supply-chain communication.
