FEBRUARY 2020 – RELEVANT FOR: ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS, HARDLINES, SOFTLINES, TOYS AND CHILDRENS PRODUCTS
On 7 February 2020, the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) published Regulation (EU) No 2020/1711, which amended Annex XIV (Authorisation List) to REACH regulation. This is the 6th update of REACH Annex XIV, and 11 substances were added to the Authorisation List. The total number of substances on Annex XIV increases from 43 to 54.
According to REACH Regulation Article 56, the substances which are listed in the Annex XIV cannot be used or placed on the market after the “sunset date”, unless the authorisation is granted. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) recommends the priority substances to be included in the Annex XIV about every two years. These priority substances are chosen from the Candidate List. On 14 November 2016 and 5 February 2018, the ECHA submitted the 7th and the 8th recommendation of Annex XIV to the EC respectively. There was a total of 16 SVHCs included in both recommendations (i.e. 9 SVHCs in the 7th recommendation and 7 SVHCs in the 8th recommendation). Finally, only 11 out of 16 SVHCs were included into the Annex XIV.
Table A shows the list of 11 SVHCs which were added into the Annex XIV.
