New SVHC ruling! New special offer!
The EU Court of Justice passed a ruling on the 10th September on the interpretation of the requirement to notify the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) about the presence of a substance of very high concern (SVHC) in an ‘article’.This interpretation could have a significant impact on the importers of consumer goods. It would mean that in the case of a product such as an item of apparel, the new ruling could apply to each individual component on the garment. The buttons, zippers and similar accessories could be considered as ‘articles’ in their own right and subject to the notification and information requirements of REACH if an SVHC is present above the 0.1% concentration by weight threshold.
