🟢 No Major Changes
EU REACH SVHC Candidate List
- As of November 2025, the SVHC Candidate List has been updated to 251 substances
- No new official announcements of substance additions in the past 30 days
- Risk Level: 🟢 Low (no new additions)
- Baseline: Articles containing SVHC >0.1% must communicate safety information downstream; >1 ton/year exports to EU require notification to ECHA
✅ Action Recommendations
| Priority | Time Window | Action Item | Responsible Entity |
|---|---|---|---|
| URGENT | Within 23 days (before 2026-06-01) | Coating manufacturers complete GB 30981.2-2025 compliance assessment, adjust formulations, complete testing and certification | Coating manufacturers |
| Important | Within 90 days | New material enterprises conduct gap analysis against 10 new national standards, establish in-house testing capabilities or engage third-party testing | New material manufacturers |
| Medium-term | Within 180 days (before 2026-08-01) | Building material enterprises prepare for GB 46520-2025 compliance, focus on combustion performance testing | Building insulation material manufacturers |
| Ongoing | Long-term | Exporters continuously monitor ECHA website; SVHC list updates 1-2 times per year | EU-exporting enterprises |
