ECHA updates REACH SVHC Candidate List: five substances added and one existing entry updated (total 247 entries)

On 21 January 2025, ECHA updated the REACH SVHC Candidate List by adding five hazardous chemicals and updating one existing entry, bringing the Candidate List total to 247 entries. This update is relevant for REACH SVHC compliance because Candidate List additions/entry updates can affect Article 33 communication requirements for SVHCs in articles above 0.1% w/w, associated supply-chain information flows, and other Candidate List-related obligations referenced by ECHA. Compliance teams should review the specific substances/entry update in the ECHA notice and validate substance identifiers and any revised concern information against the authoritative Candidate List table.
