What is the difference between SCIP and SVHC.
EU’s Chemical Agency (ECHA) manages both SCIP and SVHC.
Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) are chemical substances subject to authorisation under REACH. Currently there are 224 SVHC that are listed on the candidate list. Under REACH regulations, manufacturers and importers must declare any SVHC if they’re present. If the SVHC exceeds 0.1% by weight in the product, manufacturers/importers are required to notify their customers.
SCIP is the database for information on Substances of Concern In Products under the Waste Framework Directive (WFD). Companies supply articles containing SVHCs on the Candidate List in a concentration above 0.1% weight by weight (w/w) on the EU market have to submit information on these articles to ECHA. The SCIP database ensures that the information on articles containing Candidate List substances is available throughout the whole lifecycle of products and materials, including at the waste stage. The information in the database is then made available to waste operators and consumers.
