Description
ECHA reported that the Member State Committee established an ad hoc working group and adopted its mandate to address SVHC identifications based on an ‘equivalent level of concern’ under REACH Article 57(f). While not a Candidate List addition itself, this governance/process development may affect how future Article 57(f) SVHC proposals are assessed and progressed, informing compliance teams’ monitoring of SVHC pipeline dynamics.
