On 17, Dec 2010 | In News @en | By KuL-Blog

Effective December 15, 2010, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has added another eight substances to the candidate list of substances of very high concern (svhc) after the committee of the member states of the European Union had taken a respective decision. The eight substances are the following:

• Cobalt(II)sulfate, CAS-No 10124-43-3     
• Cobalt(II)dinitrate, CAS-No 10141-05-6
• Cobalt(II)carbonate, CAS-No 513-79-1
• Cobalt(II)diacetate, CAS-No 71-48-7
• 2-Methoxyethanol, CAS-No 109-86-4
• 2-Ethoxyethanol, CAS-No 110-80-5
• Chromtrioxide, CAS-No 1333-82-0
• Acids generated from Chromium trioxide and their oligomers

New candidate substances lead to a wider scope of obligations for the suppliers of articles. Information obligations, according to article 33 REACH, have to be fulfilled if an article contains more than 0,1 mass% of a candidate substance.
