On 3 June 2026, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) updated the REACH Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) by adding three new substances. The newly listed substances include a fluorinated resin curing agent and nano-scale coupling agents commonly used in abrasives, coatings, advanced materials, and specialty industrial applications. Beginning 1 July 2026, companies exporting articles to the EU containing any of these newly listed SVHCs above 0.1% weight by weight (w/w) may be subject to REACH notification and communication obligations if the total quantity of the substance exceeds 1 tonne per year. The update increases compliance obligations for manufacturers, importers, distributors, and suppliers placing articles on the EU market.
