“Candidate list“ specifies particularly hazardous substances

The so-called candidate list names substances suspected to be particularly hazardous because they manifest an extraordinary risk potential for man and environment. Substances which are named in the candidate list, are subject to special information obligations according to article 33 of the REACH regulation. Particularly hazardous substances will be listed step by step in the index of substances liable to authorisation (Annex XIV of the REACH regulation.)
