Substance Details
New REACH Candidate List Substances
On 14 June 2023, the European Chemicals Agency added nine new substances to the REACH Candidate List which now contains 235 substances.
To ensure alignment with the IEC62474 screening of these substances, both SVHCs will be added to BOMcheck and require supplier declarations.
| Substance name and CAS number | Example of use(s) |
|---|---|
| 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol CAS: 732-26-3 | This substance is as chemical intermediate and is not likely to be present >0.1% w/w in supplied articles |
| 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol (UV-329) CAS: 3147-75-9 | This substance is used as a UV-protection agent in a variety of plastic products |
| 2-(dimethylamino)-2-[(4-methylphenyl)methyl]-1-[4-(morpholin-4-yl)phenyl]butan-1-one CAS: 119344-86-4 | This substance is used as a photo-initiator for UV inks and coatings and is not likely to be present >0.1% w/w in supplied articles |
| Bumetrizole (UV-326) CAS: 3896-11-5 | This substance is used as a UV-protection agent in a variety of plastic products |
| Oligomerisation and alkylation reaction products of 2-phenylpropene and phenol CAS: - | The following uses were identified some of which could result in the substance being present >0.1% w/w in supplied articles: - Adhesives and sealants, printing inks, rubber formulations, polymer production, antioxidants in rubber |
New Proposition 65 substances
OEHHA added 3 new substances to the Proposition 65 List (officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) on 11 August 2023. 1 out of 3 new substances will be added to BOMcheck.
- Dimethyl hydrogen phosphite
1 out of 3 new substances has been screened out as unlikely to be present in supplied articles and result in exposure to the consumer and therefore does not require notification.
- Anthracene
2-Bromopropane was already included on the Proposition 65 List for male and female reproductive toxicity and so it has not been added to BOMcheck again.
EU POPs additions and updates
Two new substances will be added to the Other Restricted and Declarable Substances list in BOMcheck. The following substances have been added to the Stockholm Convention and will become restricted under Annex 1 of EU POPs Regulation (EU) 2019/1021.
- Dechlorane Plus
- UV-328
The below substance has also been restricted under Annex 1 of EU POPs Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 but it has already been added to BOMcheck and no new entry is required.
- PFHxS, it's salts and PFHxS related compounds
New substances restricted under REACH Annex XVII
The following 2 new substances will be added to the REACH Restrictions (Article 67) list:
Lead and its compounds in PVC
- The European Union published the Commission Regulation on May 8 amending Entry 63 of Annex XVII to REACH Regulation regarding lead and its compounds in PVC. Lead shall not be placed on the market or used in articles produced from polymers or copolymers of vinyl chloride (PVC) with a concentration of more than 0.1% by weight of the PVC material, effective November 29, 2024.
Formaldehyde and formaldehyde releasers
- On 17 July 2023, the European Union’s Official Journal (OJEU) published Regulation (EU) 2023/1464 1, which added a new restriction on formaldehyde released from articles under Annex XVII to REACH regulation as entry 77. The new restriction concerns consumer exposure to formaldehyde in indoor environments.
New substance added to the France Dangerous Substances List
Order of August 30, 2023 relating to the identification of dangerous substances in products generating waste requires consumer information relating to the presence of a dangerous substance when it is present in a concentration greater than 0.1% by weight in a substance, mixture or article.
The following substance has been added to the Other Restricted and Declarable Substances list in BOMcheck as it may be present >0.1% w/w in supplied articles.
- Diisooctyl phthalate (DIOP)
Updated EU MDR (CMR 1A & 1B) substances
The CMR 1A & 1B substances list in the RCD tool will be updated to include additional substances from the 20th ATP and new SVHCs. The entry for CMR 1A & 1B substances in the RCD tool will be set to missing for all suppliers due to the updated list.
Updating Declarations
Further communications and guidance will be sent to all BOMcheck users ahead of the v7.3 update detailing the launch date and explaining how users can update their Regulatory Compliance Declarations (RCDs) for these new substances.
After the release of v7.3 the BOMcheck team will publish a guidance webinar giving step-by-step instructions on how users can update RCDs in BOMcheck.
