According to Article 33 of the REACH Regulation1<\/sup>, information requirements regarding “candidate substances” or SVHCs (substances of very high concern) in articles must be fulfilled. Unless they are restricted or prohibited by product-specific regulations, communication about the presence of these substances \u2014 whether in the supply chain or through notification in the SCIP database \u2014 and substitution (where possible), are central parts of the material compliance process for many market participants. However, what is far less well known is that SVHCs play a role in more than just “classic” product-related material compliance.<\/p>

The question of the presence of candidate substances is now also relevant from a different angle. In recent years, SVHCs have found their way into numerous corporate and sustainability compliance regulations, such as the reporting requirements under CSRD\u00b2 together with the ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards), as well as the EU Taxonomy\u00b3.<\/p><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n
