On 1 September 2023, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) announced a public consultation on six potential Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs), which will end on 16 October 2023 and during which stakeholders can submit comments to ECHA. Except for Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), the other five substances will be added to the official list of SVHCs as the 30th batch of SVHC substances if they pass the evaluation. Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) was added to the SVHC official list in October 2008, and the second review was initiated to identify new types of hazards. As of now, there are six substances not on the SVHC list, namely five substances in the 30th batch of SVHC evaluation substances other than DBP, and resorcinol, a substance to be resolved.

Recommendation of eqo
ECHA emphasises the need for companies to comply with the requirements of the regulation and to fulfil their obligations under the regulation. If the content of SVHC substances in an article exceeds 0.1% (w/w), according to the Waste Framework Directive (WFD), from 5 January 2021, companies are required to carry out SCIP notification, and the SCIP notification information will be published on the ECHA official website. According to REACH regulation, if the content of SVHC substances in articles exceeds 0.1% (w/w), and the content of substances in articles exceeds 1 tonne/year/manufacturer or exporter needs to notify ECHA, and if the content of SVHC substances in products exceeds 0.1% (w/w), then they need to fulfill the obligation of information transmission. the SVHC list is updated twice a year, and with the continuous updating of SVHC list, enterprises are facing control and regulation. With the continuous updating of the SVHC list, enterprises are facing more and more control requirements. Enterprises are advised to investigate their supply chain as early as possible in order to cope with the regulatory changes.
