Description
ECHA’s official REACH Candidate List table shows n-hexane included on the Candidate List with date of inclusion 04-Feb-2026. The listing indicates the SVHC identification basis under REACH Article 57(f) (equivalent level of concern) related to human health (specific target organ toxicity after repeated exposure). This triggers downstream REACH SVHC compliance duties (e.g., Article 33 communication for articles containing the SVHC above 0.1% w/w and related supply-chain information management).
