Basic process for determining SVHC substances:
SVHCs stands for Substances of Very High Concern, which refers to substances that may have serious and often irreversible impacts on human health and the environment. If a substance is identified as an SVHC, it will be added to the candidate list and ultimately included in the authorized list (ANNEX XIV to REACH).
