REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) Services
Intertek offers testing, consulting, and assessment services for Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) compliance.
The European Chemical Agency (ECHA) has current and future substances identified as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).
Once a substance is added to the SVHC Candidate List, the EU REACH Regulation imposes immediate obligations on manufacturers and importers to declare the substances if present. Article 33(1) of the REACH Regulation states that manufacturers and importers of articles (products) are required to notify their customers of the presence of any Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in their products exceeding 0.1% by weight and provide instructions on safe use of the product.
