ECHA focuses on substances that matter most

Together with the Member States and the European Commission, ECHA is focusing its efforts on the substances that matter most for human health and the environment. According to the first annual report on SVHC Roadmap implementation, hundreds of substances were reviewed in 2014.
The SVHC Roadmap 2020 involves screening, assessment and the analysis of further risk management options for substances of concern. The aim of the Roadmap is to have all relevant substances of very high concern (SVHCs) on the Candidate List. This Annual Report describes the main achievements and progress of the SVHC Roadmap to 2020 since its adoption in February 2013 until the end of 2014 (ECHA news, 24 March 2015).
