Authorisation for Use of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)

The purpose of the authorisation system for use of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) set out in the REACH Regulation is to replace these substances with other less hazardous substances.

From the moment these Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) are put on the candidate list for authorisation until they are finally included in Annex XIV, REACH Integra offers diverse services to prepare the authorisation applications and to notify ECHA of the Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in articles:

SVHC in articles:

• Identification of uses of SVHC
• Analysis and identification of SVHC contained in goods
• Notification of SVHC in goods

Authorisation for Uses of Substance (Annex XIV):

In the case of authorisation applications, filling in procedures are more complicated than simply submitting the Registration Dossiers to ECHA. For instance, ECHA must be previously notified about the intention to submit an authorisation application, whether individually or jointly; a briefing with ECHA must be held to define how the submission of the authorisation shall be carried out such as via strict control or socio-economic analysis.

• Analysis of the suitability of the authorisation and the via of application
• Notification to ECHA of the intention to submit an application and the briefing with ECHA
• Preparation of the specific Chemical Safety Report, Use Maps and Refined Exposure Scenarios
• Preparation of analysis of the alternatives and substitution plan (in this case, if the client company has them).
• Socioeconomic Analysis
• Preparation of the Dossier with IUCLID 5 and submission of the authorisation application
• Management of participants in the authorisation
