Description

ECHA reported that its Member State Committee (MSC) established an ad hoc working group focused on handling SVHC identifications based on an “equivalent level of concern” under REACH Article 57(f). This procedural/governance development is relevant for compliance teams because it can influence how and when future substances are proposed/assessed as SVHCs under Article 57(f), potentially affecting pipeline visibility and future Candidate List additions.
