Description
ECHA indicates that regulatory information on the REACH SVHC Candidate List is available in the ECHA CHEM database, and that ECHA will continue maintaining the legacy Candidate List dataset (Candidate List table page) up to date until July 2026 as part of the transition. For compliance teams, this is an operational/data-access update: systems that scrape or reference the legacy Candidate List table should plan for the transition to ECHA CHEM and ensure list-monitoring workflows remain uninterrupted through and after the July 2026 transition timeframe.
