Detail
The authorisation provisions of UK REACH aim to ensure that substances of very high concern (SVHCs) are progressively replaced by less dangerous substances or technologies where feasible alternatives exist.
Substances that have been identified as SVHCs and included in the Authorisation List (Annex 14) cannot be used or placed on the market for a use after a specified date, known as the sunset date, unless the use has been authorised or is exempt from authorisation.
Applying for a UK REACH authorisation
In accordance with Article 58(3) of UK REACH, HSE is required to recommend priority substances for inclusion in this list from the UK REACH Candidate List of substances of very high concern (SVHCs).
Notes for the authorisation list
Annex 14 of UK REACH is a copy of Annex XIV of EU REACH as it stood at the end of the transition period and the same latest application dates and sunset dates apply, except for entries 44 to 54 whose latest application dates are 30 June 2022 (Article 127GA (7)&(8)).
