Navigating SVHC Presence in Consumer Products – Regulatory Requirements, Common Failure and Test Methods

Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) are a category of chemicals with the potential to inflict severe damage on both human health and the environment should their concentrations breach the permissible thresholds. The European Chemical Agency (ECHA) undertakes regular review of the SVHC list, appending new chemicals as necessary. As of January 2024, the SVHC candidate list comprises 240 entries, a figure that's slated to rise as more substances are identified and added. As key players in the world of brands and suppliers, it's important to comprehend the typical chemicals that influence consumer products and devise strategies to minimize SVHCs in these items. We cordially invite you to our webinar, where Dr. Philipp Bruening will demystify the complex world of SVHCs, acquaint you with the most recent regulatory changes, and guide you through the various testing options available to ensure your products maintain compliance amidst the constant updates of the SVHC Candidate List.
