The Member State Committee (MSC) of the EU unanimously agreed on the identification as substances of very high concern (SVHCs) of:
ECHA will include PFHxS in the Candidate List and will update the current entry for BPA accordingly by the end of June 2017. Companies may have legal obligations with respect to these substances upon publication of the updated Candidate List. The Candidate List of substances may become subject to authorization (Annex XIV). These substances cannot be placed on the market or used after a given date, unless an authorization is granted for their specific use, or the use is exempted from authorization.
Each European Member State appoints one member to the MSC for a renewable term of three years. The Committee may appoint up to five additional members chosen for their specific competencies. The members may be accompanied by advisers.
