On October 2, 2023, ECHA announced a new SVHC intentional substance again, and planned to conduct public comment on the substance in February, 2024. The specific information of the substance is as follows:

Up to now, there are 15 published SVHC evaluation substances and intentional substances, including 7 evaluation substances and 8 intentional substances. It is worth noting that dibutyl phthalate (DBP) among the seven evaluated substances was added to SVHC as early as October 2008. This time, the second evaluation of this substance was initiated because it was identified that there was a new hazard type of this substance. So up to now, there are actually only 14 evaluation and intention substances that may be added to SVHC in the future, including 6 evaluation substances and 8 intention substances except DBP.
