In accordance with the EU’s REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals), the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) launched a public consultation on February 28, 2025, to consider recommendations to designate three compounds as compounds of Very High Concern (SVHCs). By April 14, 2025, stakeholders can submit technical or scientific feedback.
