Description
ECHA Decision D(2025)4165-DC (Helsinki, 13 June 2025) identifies three substances as SVHCs and specifies they shall be included in the REACH Candidate List; the Candidate List update is to be published on 25 June 2025 and the decision takes effect from 25 June 2025. This triggers downstream SVHC Candidate List obligations (e.g., Article 33 communication duties for articles containing listed SVHCs above relevant thresholds, and other supply-chain compliance actions). Substances named in the decision: Reactive Brown 51 (Repr. 1B; Art. 57(c)); 1,1,1,3,5,5,5-heptamethyl-3-[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]trisiloxane (vPvB; Art. 57(e)); Decamethyltetrasiloxane (vPvB; Art. 57(e)).
