On 23 January 2024, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has announced the SVHC Candidate List for authorisation as of January 2024, adding 5 new substances to the list, and updating the intrinsic properties of the substance Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (CAS No. 84-74-2). The SVHC list now contains 240 entries of substances.
One of the newly added substances is toxic for reproduction, three are very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB) and one is toxic for reproduction and persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT). They are found in products such as inks and toners, adhesives and sealants and washing and cleaning products.
For the substance Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), endocrine disrupting properties for the environment are added to its intrinsic properties.
Details of the addition to the list are as follows:
| # | Substance Name | EC Number | CAS Number | Reason for inclusion | Examples of uses |
| 1 | 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol (2,4,6-TTBP) | 211-989-5 | 732-26-3 | Toxic for reproduction (Article 57(c)); PBT (persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic) (Article 57(d)) |
Manufacture of another substance; formulation of mixtures and in fuel products |
| 2 | 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol (UV-329) |
221-573-5 | 3147-75-9 | vPvB (very persistent and very bioaccumulative) (Article 57(e)) | Air care products, coating products, adhesives and sealants, lubricants and greases, polishes and waxes and washing and cleaning products |
| 3 | 2-(dimethylamino)-2-[(4-methylphenyl)methyl]-1-[4-(morpholin-4-yl)phenyl]butan-1-one | 438-340-0 | 119344-86-4 | Toxic for reproduction (Article 57(c)) | Inks and toners, coating products |
| 4 | Bumetrizole (UV-326) |
223-445-4 | 3896-11-5 | vPvB (very persistent and very bioaccumulative) (Article 57(e)) | Coating products, adhesives and sealants and washing and cleaning products |
| 5 | Oligomerisation and alkylation reaction products of 2-phenylpropene and phenol (OAPP) | 700-960-7 | -- | vPvB (very persistent and very bioaccumulative) (Article 57(e)) | Adhesives and sealants, coating products, fillers, putties, plasters, modelling clay, inks and toners and polymers |
| 6 | Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) | 201-557-4 | 84-74-2 | Endocrine disrupting properties (Article 57(f) - environment) | Metal working fluids, washing and cleaning products, laboratory chemicals and polymers |
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (CAS No. 84-74-2) has been included in the SVHC Candidate List on 28 October 2008. Its current intrinsic properties are toxic for reproduction (Article 57(c)), and endocrine disrupting properties (Article 57(f) - human health).
If SVHC substances are present in an article placed on the EU/EEA market in a concentration above 0.1 % w/w, the EU/EEA supplier of that article needs to submit a SCIP notification to ECHA under the EU Waste Framework Directive (WFD, Directive 2008/98/EC).
