SVHC regulatory requirements:

REACH regulations stipulate that when the SVHC content of an article is greater than 0.1%, information must be communicated within the supply chain; when the SVHC content of an article is greater than 0.1% and the annual export volume is greater than 1 tonne, notification must be made to ECHA.

According to the EU Waste Framework Directive, from January 5, 2021, suppliers of articles with an SVHC content exceeding 0.1% placed on the EU market should submit relevant information about the articles to ECHA through the SCIP database.
