On April 25, 2018, the official gazette of the European Union
issued a resolution decision (EU) 2018 / 636, which identified
dicyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP) as SVHC substance.
Dicyclohexyl phthalate properties:
Substance name | EC | CAS | Join reason |
Dicyclohexyl phthalate(DCHP) | 201-545-9 | 84-61-7 | Reproductive toxicity (Article 57 (c)) Endocrine disrupting (Article 57 (f)) - human health
|
Background reading:
-On February 17, 2016, Sweden submitted a file to ECHA proposing that dicyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP) should be marked as SVHC because it complies with the properties of articles 57 (c) and 57 (f) of the reach regulation.
-On June 9, 2016, MSC expressed its views on this file. However, before MSc expressed its views, Sweden withdrew its proposed endocrine interference attribute of DCHP - that is, the attribute of Article 57 (f) of reach regulation.
-MSc unanimously agreed to treat DCHP as a substance of high concern because it complies with the properties of Article 57 (c) of the reach regulation.
-However, MSC did not reach an agreement on the endocrine interference attribute of DCHP.
-On June 22, 2016, ECHA submitted the views of MSC to the European Commission to decide whether DCHP meets the attribute of Article 57 (f).
-The committee finally concluded that according to the view of MSC, DCHP has endocrine disrupting properties and should be recognized as SVHC.
Corporate responsibility
If the following two conditions are met at the same time, the manufacturer and exporter of the article shall notify ECHA within six months after the substance is included in the SVHC candidate list:
-The content of the substance in the article exceeds 1 ton / year / manufacturer or exporter;
-The weight percentage concentration of the substance in the article is greater than 0.1%.
proposal
With the continuous updating of SVHC candidate list, enterprises are facing more and more control requirements. Enterprises need to improve the risk awareness of their products. Within six months after the substances are listed in the SVHC candidate list, qualified enterprises need to complete the SVHC notification in the articles. It is suggested that enterprises should investigate the supply chain as soon as possible to calmly deal with the changes of regulations.
