HINTS
- for details on the approach used by ECHA for determining the priority of the SVHCs for inclusion in Annex XIV, and the type of information
relevant for this step of the recommendation process, it is advised to read the following documents:
-
information relevant for prioritisation of substances includes types of uses in the scope of authorisation (e.g. uses by professionals or
consumers / uses in articles), volumes for those uses, and where relevant the potential that other substances on the Candidate List
could substitute / be substituted by the substance in some uses;
- REACH registrations are the main source of information for ECHA's assessment. Registrants are therefore strongly advised to update their
registration dossiers with any new relevant information. Registration updates (as of the last day of the consultation) will be taken
into account by ECHA when finalising its recommendation;
- any information on uses provided in the consultation should allow assessing its reliability and representativeness. Therefore,
information should be accompanied by a description which clarifies the source of the information, the time period covered,
the sector(s) / the share of the market / the number of users it represents and any other description which is relevant for the assessment of
the reliability and representativeness of the information;
- when commenting, if relevant, please add the title of the document (e.g. substance's background document or prioritisation results) and page number
you are referring to in front of your comment.
