EU Member States agree on the practical actions of the SVHC Roadmap 2020

The implementation plan for the ‘Roadmap on substances of very high concern for 2020' was endorsed by the Member State competent authorities in their meeting at the end of November. The aim of the implementation plan is to enhance common understanding on how authorities screen substances, generate further information where necessary, and channel substance to the most efficient regulatory processes.
The roadmap focuses on specific groups of substances that will be looked at in more detail by the authorities. These are CMRs, PBTs and vPvBs, endocrine disruptors, sensitisers, and petroleum and coal stream substances. The list already includes 144 SVHC-s (ECHA Newsletter, December 2013).
