Did you know that ECHA has applied SVHC to 2 new substances?
The ECHA or European Chemicals Agency works as a European Union agency. The main function is to handle the various administrative and technical facets of implementing the European Union chemical regulations also referred to as REACH. Recently, on January 19, 2021, ECHA has added two new substances to the SVHC candidate list which now increases the total number of the SVHC materials to two hundred and eleven. These two new substances are known to be reproductive toxicants. The first one in this list is the Bis(2-(2-methoxy ethoxy ethyl) either which is a solvent or an extraction agent.
