Candidate list substances

The candidate list is the first step of the authorisation process. It is updated twice a year and currently contains 197 substances.

Candidate substances are substances of very high concern substances (SVHC). These include carcinogenic, mutagenic, toxic for reproduction (CMR), persistent, accumulative and/or toxic (PBT) and/or very persistent, very bioaccumulative (vPvB) substances.

This list triggers specific information requirements under Article 31, 32 and 33 (1) and (2) of the REACH regulation and reporting requirements under Article 7 (2) for the article producers and importers. Companies are responsible for the information and reporting requirements.

Candidate substances are then further examined as to whether an authorisation is required. more
