Description
ECHA published highlights from its Member State Committee (MSC) December meeting noting agreement to identify n-hexane as a substance of very high concern (SVHC). This is a formal step in the SVHC identification process under REACH and signals likely downstream Candidate List inclusion, which is relevant for companies to anticipate future Article 33 communication and related supply-chain compliance impacts once formally listed.
