European Union - Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) (253 Substances) (Version of 4 February 2026)

The EU Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC), also known as the Candidate List for authorisation, originates from the EU REACH Regulation. It is a list of chemical substances with certain hazardous properties that have raised a high level of concern; the list provides information such as substance names, CAS numbers, EC numbers, and reasons for inclusion. In general, the SVHC list is updated twice a year (usually in June and December). This version, totaling 253 substances, was released by ECHA on February 4, 2026. It is applicable to activities such as the search and lookup of SVHCs in the EU.
