Substances of very high concern (SVHC)

Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) are on the candidate list of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). If an article contains such a substance above 0.1 percent by mass, you must already disclose this today under REACH Art. 33.

• Ask your suppliers for a REACH declaration (Art. 33). Many have a template.
• If no SVHC is contained: “No SVHC above 0.1 % (as of candidate list MM/YYYY)”.
• If there is: state the substance name, CAS number and component.
• The candidate list is extended regularly – review the entry about twice a year.
