Description
ECHA reported that its Member State Committee agreed to identify n-hexane as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC). This committee agreement is a formal REACH SVHC process milestone that precedes Candidate List inclusion and signals that downstream obligations (e.g., article communication/notification once listed) are expected to follow when ECHA updates the Candidate List accordingly.
