A list of 240 SVHC
The addition of 5 SVHCs brings the number of SVHCs to 240. Manufacturers and importers of products must declare SVHCs above the limit of 0.1% w/w at the component level. The declaration process includes aSCIP notification.
Why 240 SVHC?
Researchers have identified the five above substances as:
- Reprotoxic,
- Persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT), and or
- Very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB).
Every six months, ECHA considers new submissions of substances.

The Case of DBP
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), with CAS # 84-74-2, is already a listed REACH SVHC. It is also one of the currently regulatedRoHS phthalatesin electrical and electronic equipment. In addition to being reprotoxic, DBP also brings concerns around endocrine-disrupting properties.
