The European Chemical Agency (ECHA) has current and future substances identified as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).

Once a substance is added to the SVHC Candidate List, the EU REACH Regulation imposes immediate obligations on manufacturers and importers to declare the substances if present.

Article 33(1) of the REACH Regulation states that manufacturers and importers of articles (products) are required to notify their customers of the presence of any Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in their products exceeding 0.1% by weight and provide instructions on safe use of the product.

Tox Regulatory Advisor offers SVHC consulting, and assessment services to assist companies determine the presence of SVHC substances in their products.

If a product contains any SVHC, Tox Regulatory Affairs can provide risk assessments to:

• Identify whether products / articles contain any SVHC 
• Identify other products in your portfolio that have the potential to pose a risk
• Create a substitution strategy of SVHC and prepare a safe use instruction to fulfil the REACH requirements
• Disclose the presence of SVHCs in products within 45 days upon request from consumers.
