L’ ECHA ha aggiunto otto nuove SVHC, più altre due a causa delle proprietà di sensibilizzazione respiratoria e tossiche per la riproduzione e le proprietà di interferenza endocrina, rispettivamente, all’elenco delle sostanze candidate dopo il processo di identificazione SVHC con il coinvolgimento del comitato degli Stati membri (MSC).
Le due sostanze con proprietà particolari sono: TMA e DCHP, che sono state aggiunte all’elenco, in quanto identificate come SVHC dalla Commissione Europea per le loro proprietà di:
- sensibilizzazione respiratoria
- tossiche per la riproduzione
- le proprietà di interferenza endocrina.
La decisione della Commissione segue il rinvio dei pareri MSC su queste proposte SVHC nel 2016.
