UK REACH Candidate List of SVHCs updated for the first time since Brexit

On 15 June 2026, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the Agency under UK REACH, added 15 entries to the UK REACH Candidate List of substances of very high concern (SVHCs) following a six week consultation process. This marks a significant milestone as the first substantive update to the UK REACH Candidate List since the end of the Brexit implementation period in December 2020.
