Reminder

The SVHC list is updated twice a year. With the continuous updating of the SVHC list, enterprises face more and more control requirements. Enterprises need to improve the risk awareness of their products.

From January 5, 2021, article suppliers are required to submit to ECHA a SCIP notification of information on SVHC contained in articles.
