Authorization of Chemicals
SVHC substances are effectively being removed from the European market after inclusion into Annex XIV of REACH. Applying for an authorization is the only way to further use these substances in your products.
Authorization will become necessary when a substance is included in Annex XIV of REACH – permission is needed for the manufacture, placing on the market and use of a SVHC substance itself, in mixtures and/or in articles. After the sunset date, the substance is only allowed to be used when the specific use (along the complete European supply chain) has been authorized by the authorities. Only very few exemptions may apply.
Authorization is a very complex, time and cost intensive process. Once a business need is identified it is essential to immediately start the Authorization effort. This allows for an early determination of the business case for economic feasibility and proper management of the Authorization initiative.
