In June 2023, the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) announced the addition of two new chemicals [Diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (CAS number 75980-60-8), Bis(4-chlorophenyl) sulphone (CAS number 80-07-9)] to the REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) candidate List.
The REACH SVHC candidate List now has 235 entries.
Earlier this year, the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) launched the public consultation for the updates of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) chemicals.
On 14 June 2023, ECHA announced the addition of two new chemicals [Diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (CAS number 75980-60-8), Bis(4-chlorophenyl) sulphone (CAS number 80-07-9)] to the REACH SVHC Candidate List.
Hazards associated with these chemicals:
Diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide is toxic for reproduction,* Bis(4-chlorophenyl) sulphone has very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB) hazardous properties.
Details of these two new SVHCs are listed in below table.
| Substance name | EC number | CAS number | Reason for inclusion | Examples of use(s) |
Diphenyl(2,4.6- trimethylbenzoy) phosphine oxide | 278-355-8 | 75980- 60-8 | Toxic for reproduction | Inks and toners, coating products. pht-chemicals. polymers, adhesives and sealants and fillers, putties, plasters. modelling claY |
| Bis(4-chlorophenvl)sulphone | 201-247-9 | 80-07-9 | VPvB | Manufacture of chemicals, plastic products and rubber products |
Hence, the current REACH SVHC Candidate List now has 235 entries.
(Some SVHCs are restricted in “groups” of chemicals, the total number of impacted chemicals is more than 235 species.)
