ECHA Member State Committee established ad hoc working group for Article 57(f) ‘equivalent level of concern’ SVHC cases

ECHA reports that its Member State Committee (MSC) established an ad hoc working group and adopted its mandate to address SVHC identification cases under REACH Article 57(f) ("equivalent level of concern"). This governance/process development can affect how future SVHC identifications are evaluated and agreed, particularly for hazards not covered by Articles 57(a)–(e). Compliance teams should monitor resulting outputs as they may influence Candidate List additions and the evidentiary expectations for Article 57(f) proposals.
