Pay close attention 丨The list of candidate substances for SVHC in EU will soon increase to 242

On October 16th, 2024, ECHA released a message in official website, and the Committee of the Member States of the European Union (MSC) has agreed to designate triphenyl phosphate as substances of very high concern, namely SVHC, because it has endocrine-disrupting characteristics in the environment. ECHA will add this substance to the list of candidate substances in early November, when the list of SVHC candidate substances will increase to 242.

The following information is related to this substance.

Note: ECHA originally planned to identify triphenyl phosphate at the Committee meeting in June to determine whether to join the shortlist. However, after consulting Committee members and file submitters, ECHA decided to suspend the identification process because a large amount of new data about this substance was obtained before the meeting. Pause can ensure that the newly provided data is correctly evaluated and considered in the SVHC identification process. It was finally made clear at this meeting that the substance will be added to the list in November.
