Brief Explanation of REACH Annex XVII and SVHC

①　REACH Annex XVII: It is a list of EU restrictions on the production, sale or use of specific hazardous substances, preparations and articles, with legal binding force.

②　SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern): These are substances of very high concern, referring to chemical substances with serious hazards such as carcinogenicity and teratogenicity. The list is dynamically updated (currently about 250 items). If the content of such substances in the product exceeds 0.1% and the annual export volume to the EU exceeds 1 ton, it is necessary to notify the EU, transmit safety information downstream, and complete the SCIP notification—it is a key link in EU chemical control.
