This workshop examines the criteria for prioritizing substances of very high concern (SVHCs) for their withdrawal from the EU market with the transitional option of obtaining a temporary authorization for use - inclusion in Annex XIV of the EU REACH Regulation.
Substances with certain hazardous properties that cause special harm to human health or the environment, according to new world trends (including European) are considered separately, studied in depth, and often such substances are restricted or banned for some or for all uses.
Due to the fact that in-depth studies of hazardous properties are systematically conducted, such substances can be detected among previously relatively safe substances, and later - regulated. The purpose of such regulations and restrictions is to properly control the risks associated with the use of such substances, as well as the complete withdrawal of such substances from the EU market with transitional periods, but the use of transitional provisions of such bans authorization is required (temporary authorization for use).
According to Article 57 of REACH and the relevant annexes to the Regulation, the criteria for identification a substance as of high concern - SVHC are established.
A substance of very high concern (SVHC) – literally translated as a substance that cause special concern. Substances identified as SVHC are included in the Candidate list. Further, in addition to registration, they may be subject to an authorization procedure for certain uses, once the SVHC substance has been included in Annex XIV of the REACH Regulation.
