Information on Candidate List substances used in packaging

The information on Candidate List substances in articles contains the number of notifications, the article categories and the article types notified for use by consumers. The fact that an article contains an SVHC does not necessarily mean that consumers are exposed to it or that there is a risk for consumers.
Among the SVHCs used in packaging are Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD), Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), Diisobutyl phthalate and Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP). Importers and producers of articles have notify ECHA if an SVHC is present in their articles above one tonne per year and in a concentration above 0.1% weight by weight (ECHA e-News, 12 November 2014).
