Description
ECHA reported (MSC meeting highlights) that the Member State Committee established an ad hoc working group on SVHC 'equivalent level of concern' cases (REACH Article 57(f)) and adopted its mandate. This is a governance/process update (not a Candidate List amendment itself), but it is relevant for compliance monitoring because it may affect how future Article 57(f) SVHC identifications are evaluated and progressed within ECHA/MSC decision-making.
