The SVHC identification process includes a 45-day public consultation. Once a substance is identified as an SVHC, it is included in the Candidate List. The inclusion in the Candidate List brings immediate obligations for suppliers of the substance, such as:
• supplying a safety data sheet
• communicating on safe use
• responding to consumer requests within 45 days and
• notifying ECHA if the article they produce contains an SVHC in quantities above one tonne per producer/importer per year and if the substance is present in those articles above a concentration of 0.1% (w/w).
