On November 7, 2024, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) officially announced the inclusion of triphenyl phosphate (TPP) as a candidate substance for SVHC. The number of SVHC candidate substances has increased to 242.

The substance information is as follows:

Substance name: Triphenyl phosphate

EC No.:204-112-2

CAS No.:115-86-6

Reason for proposal: Endocrine disruption characteristics (Article 57 (f) - Environment)

Usage: Used as a flame retardant and plasticizer, mainly for resins, engineering plastics, rubber, etc

So far, SVHC has a total of 242 confirmed substances, 6 evaluated substances (public consultation has ended, awaiting official final decision), 7 intended substances, and 1 undetermined substance (resorcinol).

Basic process for determining SVHC substances:

SVHCs stands for Substances of Very High Concern, which refers to substances that may have serious and often irreversible impacts on human health and the environment. If a substance is identified as an SVHC, it will be added to the candidate list and ultimately included in the authorized list (ANNEX XIV to REACH).

LCS suggestion:

ECHA aims to protect human health and the environment, and is committed to the safe use of chemicals, encouraging industry to develop safer alternatives. ECHA also shoulders the mission of enhancing the competitiveness of European chemicals, constantly urging companies to comply with relevant regulatory requirements and fulfill their regulatory obligations.

REACH regulation stipulates that when the SVHC content in goods supplied on the EU market is greater than 0.1% by weight (w/w), information must be transmitted within the supply chain; When the SVHC content in an item is greater than 0.1% by weight (w/w) and the annual export volume is greater than 1 ton, it must be reported to ECHA.

According to the Waste Framework Directive (WFD), starting from January 5, 2021, companies supplying substances of high concern containing concentrations above 0.1% by weight (w/w) on the candidate list in the EU market must submit information about these substances to the ECHA database, known as SCIP (Substances of Concern In articles as such or in complex objects (Products)) notification. SCIP reports that there is no requirement for an annual export volume greater than 1 ton.

The SVHC list is generally updated twice a year - once at the beginning of the year and once in the middle of the year. The substances included in the SVHC list are increasing - currently there are 242 official substances. Currently, enterprises are facing increasingly strict control measures. It is recommended that companies exporting products to Europe conduct supply chain inspections and supervision to reduce their own risks and become more competitive in the market.
