ECHA opened consultation on the 13th draft recommendation to include SVHCs in REACH Annex XIV (Authorisation List)

ECHA opened a public consultation on its 13th draft recommendation for prioritising Candidate List SVHCs for inclusion in REACH Annex XIV (Authorisation List). The consultation runs from 2 February 2026 to 2 May 2026. If finalised and later adopted by the European Commission, Annex XIV inclusion would introduce authorisation obligations (including latest application and sunset dates). Compliance teams should review the draft recommendation and background documents, assess portfolio impacts for listed SVHCs, and consider submitting comments.
