ECHA’s official REACH Candidate List table shows n-hexane (EC 203-777-6; CAS 110-54-3) added to the Candidate List with date of inclusion 04-Feb-2026, identified as an SVHC under Article 57(f) (human health) for specific target organ toxicity after repeated exposure (STOT RE). This addition triggers downstream REACH Candidate List obligations for supply chains (e.g., Article 33 communication for articles, and related SVHC information management).
