Regarding SVHC: According to REACH regulations, 250 types of SVHC are required to fulfill the following responsibilities and obligations: When selling as a substance, it is necessary to provide SDS (Safety Data Sheet) to downstream users. 2. As a substance in a mixture (preparation), when the content of this substance is ≥ 0.1%, SDS needs to be provided to downstream users. When the SVHC mass percentage in the item is greater than 0.1%, sufficient information must be provided free of charge to the recipient of the item or at the request of the consumer within 45 days, at least indicating the name of the substance. 4. Reporting obligation: SVHC listed before December 1, 2010, with a single SVHC concentration exceeding 0.1% by mass in the article and a total amount greater than 1 ton/year, must fulfill the obligation to notify ECHA before June 1, 2011. SVHC listed after December 1, 2010, if the mass percentage concentration of a single SVHC in the item exceeds 0.1% and the total amount is greater than 1 ton/year, the obligation to notify ECHA must be fulfilled within 6 months after listing. |
