ECHA issued Decision D(2025)7771-DC dated 11-Dec-2025 to include substances of very high concern in the REACH Candidate List, with publication/update and decision effect stated as 04-Feb-2026. The decision supports the Candidate List update adding n-hexane (Article 57(f)) and 4,4'-[2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethylidene]diphenol and its salts (Article 57(c)). Compliance teams should treat the Candidate List inclusion date as the point at which article/SDS and supply-chain communication controls must reflect the updated SVHC status.
