REACHfuture additions to tHe svHC list

Here is an excerpt from ECHA’s press release on March 25, 2010regardingREACH:

“Accelerating addition of substances to the Candidate List: Both Commissioners expressed disappointment at their con-firmation hearings at the low number of SVHCs that had been placed on the REACH Candidate List for authorisation. They revealed that they had discussed the matter at length with ECHA and had secured the agency’s commitment to a “roadmap” that would allow another 106 “top priority” substances to be added to the Candidate List by 2012. ECHA indicated that this was the maximum number of substances it felt it could administer without compromising on the quality of assessment.”
