Some of chemicals of high concern that pose a particular threat and cause uncontrolled risks (SVHCs) will be permanently removed from the EU. Such substances are included in Annex XIV of the EU REACH Regulation and in order to ensure a smooth transition of the industry to alternative substances, the Regulation envisages to obtain a temporary permit (authorization) for their specific use, after which they will be withdrawn from the market.
This guidance details the authorization procedure for substances under the EU REACH Regulation and provides practical guidance for successful compliance.
