On June 20, 2024, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) identified tris(4-nonylphenyl, branched) phosphite and 6-[(C10-C13)-alkyl-(branched, unsaturated)-2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl]hexanoic acid as potential Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).
The proponents are finalizing the necessary documentation, expected to be submitted by August 1, 2024. Following this, ECHA will initiate a public consultation, inviting feedback from stakeholders to inform the decision on whether these substances should be included in the next SVHC candidate list.
| Substance Name | CAS Num. | EC Num. | Scope | Common Uses | Expected date of submission |
| tris(4-nonylphenyl, branched) phosphite | - | 701-028-2 | Endocrine disrupting properties (Article 57(f) – environment) | Antioxidants and heat stabilisers for the plastics and rubber industries | 01-Aug-2024 |
| 6-[(C10-C13)-alkyl-(branched, unsaturated)-2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl]hexanoic acid | 2156592-54-8 | 701-118-1 | Toxic for reproduction (Article 57c) | Chemical intermediates for pharmaceuticals, polymerisation catalysis, surfactant preparation and the production of high-performance paints and coatings | 01-Aug-2024 |
As of June, 2024, the SVHC Candidate List contains a total of 241 substances. Download the full list here.
