From 5 January 2021, if SVHC substances are present in an article placed on the EU market in a concentration above 0.1 % w/w, the EU supplier of that article needs to submit a SCIP notification to ECHA under the EU Waste Framework Directive (WFD, Directive 2008/98/EC) and its Amendment (EU) 2018/851.
From 30 October 2021, the SCIP notification obligation extends to EEA suppliers supplying articles in the EEA (European Economic Area) market (including Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), since the Amendment (EU) 2018/851 has been incorporated into the EEA Agreement and been in force. From 7 November 2022, the ECHA starts to accept SCIP notification from companies from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
