MSC sends two SVHC proposals to the Commission

The majority of the Member State Committee (MSC) supported a proposal to identify the phthalate DCHP as a substance of very high concern (SVHC) and include it in the Candidate List due to its toxicity for reproduction and endocrine disruptive effects to humans. The majority of the MSC supported also the SVHC proposal for 3-benzylidene camphor due to its endocrine disruptive effects to the environment. The MSC opinions and the minority positions will be sent to the European Commission for final decisions.

Details of the two substances listed in the table below:

After the European Commission making a final decision, in accordance with practice, ECHA will publish a new SVHC candidate substance list around June 20.
