European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) published for public consultation notice on four substances of very high concern identification on September 3, 2021. The consultation will end on October 18, 2021. Stakeholders can post comments on the ECHA website. The information for public consultation of four substances in the table below: No Substances Name EC No. CAS No. Reason for proposing 1 (±)-1,7,7-trimethyl-3-[(4-methylphenyl)methylene]bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one covering any of the individual isomers and/or combinations thereof (4-MBC) - - Endocrine disrupting properties (Article 57(f) - human health) 2 6,6'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-methylenedi-p-cresol (DBMC) 204-327-1 119-47-1 Toxic for reproduction  (Article 57 c) 3 S-(tricyclo[5.2.1.0'2,6]deca-3-en-8(or 9)-yl) O-(isopropyl or isobutyl or 2-ethylhexyl) O-(isopropyl or isobutyl or 2-ethylhexyl) phosphorodithioate 401-850-9 255881-94-8 PBT (Article 57 d) 4 tris(2-methoxyethoxy)vinylsilane 213-934-0 1067-53-4 Toxic for reproduction (Article 57 c) AGC Note: Once these substances are added to the SVHC list, you must meet a series of obligations such as information transmission, notification, please pay attention to SVHC update dynamic.

     On June 1, 2021, the EU Committee (EU) submitted G/TBT/N/EU/803 notification to the WTO (WTO) , the reason that resorcinol is included into the SVHC list is its endocrine disrupting properties, with probable serious effects to human health which give rise to an equivalent level of concern to those of other substances listed in Article 57, points (a) to (e), of the REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. The public consultation time is 60 days after the announcement, and the deadline is July 31, 2021.      On March 2020, resorcinol has been included in the 23rd batch of substances by ECHA because of its "Article 57 (f) - human health)" by ECHA, and the SVHC list announced in June 2020, due to the ECHA’s Member State Committee has not reached an agreement, there is no formal incorporation of resorcinol to the SVHC list.      The substance proposed by the European Commission to be included in SVHC list:      AGC Note: Once these substances are added to the SVHC list, you must meet a series of obligations such as information transmission, notification, please pay attention to SVHC update dynamic.

On February 23, 2021, EU’s Official Journal issued Regulation (EU) 2021/277, formally amending Annex I to POPs Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 as regards the specific exemption on pentachlorophenol and its salts and ester. The amendment has officially entered into force on March 15, 2021. Pentachlorophenol and its salts and esters have been listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 before, butwithout an Unintentional Trace Contaminant (UTC) limit value. This revision clarifies the limit of pentachlorophenol (PCP) and its salts and esters. Specific revisions are as follows: Substance CAS No EC No Specific exemption or other specification on intermediate use Pentachlorophenol and its salts and esters 87-86-5 and others 201-778-6 and others For the purposes of this entry, point (b) of Article 4(1) shall apply to substances, mixtures or articles with concentrations of pentachlorophenol and its salts and esters equal to or below 5 mg/kg (0,0005 % by weight). AGC Tips： Pentachlorophenol and its salts and esters are often used as additives and preservatives in wood and textiles. AGC reminded relevant companies to pay close attention on POPs latest Regulation and prepared in advance for actively response.

The 24th batch of SVHC substances was released and the SVHC list was updated to 211 items Helsinki, 19 January 2021 - ECHA has added two new substances to the Candidate List. They were added to the Candidate List as they are toxic for reproduction and therefore, may adversely affect sexual function and fertility, and cause developmental toxicity in offspring. Companies must follow their legal obligations and ensure the safe use of these chemicals. From January 2021 onwards, they also have to notify ECHA under the Waste Framework Directive if their products contain substances of very high concern and the concentration exceeds 0.1%. This notification is submitted to ECHA’s SCIP database. To date, the SVHC list has been updated to 211 items. Substances included in the Candidate List for authorisation on 19 January 2021 and their SVHC properties: AGC Note: Companies may have legal obligations resulting from the inclusion of the substance in the Candidate List. These obligations may apply to the listed substance on its own, in mixtures or in articles. In particular, any supplier of articles containing a Candidate List substance above a concentration of 0.1% (weight by weight) has communication obligations towards customers down the supply chain and consumers. In addition, importers and producers of articles containing the substance have six months from the date of its inclusion in the Candidate List (19 January 2021) to notify ECHA.

     On February 16, 2021, TPCH (Toxics in Packaging Clearinghouse) officially updated the "Model Toxics in Packaging Legislation", referred to as TPCH. The amendment takes effect from the date of adoption. Sstates may update their existing laws or adopt the newly amended legislation to control toxic substances in packaging. The revised chemical substance requirements are as follows: Substance Limit requirement Remark Lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) or hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) The sum of ≤ 100ppm(0.01％, by weight) - Phthalates The sum of ≤ 100ppm (0.01％, by weight) Means all members of the class of organic chemicals that are esters of phthalic acid and that contain 2 carbon chains located in the ortho position. Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) There shall be no detectable Means all members of the class of fluorinated organic chemicals containing at least one fully fluorinated carbon atom.      Exmptions：All packages and packaging components shall be subject to this Act, unless, an individual state adopts into their law, any or all of the below exemptions, which shall then apply only in that state.      a. those packages or packaging components to which lead, cadmium, mercury or hexavalent chromium have been added in the manufacturing, forming, printing or distribution process in order to comply with health or safety requirements of State or Federal law, provided that the manufacturer of a package or packaging component must petition the [state administrative agency] for any exemption from the provisions of this subsection for a particular package or packaging component based upon either criterion; and provided further that the [state administrative agency] may grant an exemption for up to two years if warranted by the circumstances; and provided further that such an exemption may, upon reapplication for exemption and meeting the criteria of this subsection, be renewed at two-year intervals; or       b. those packages or packaging components to which lead, cadmium, mercury or hexavalent chromium have been added in the manufacturing, forming, printing or distribution process for which there is no feasible alternative, provided that the manufacturer of a package or packaging component must petition the [state administrative agency] for any exemption from the provisions of this subsection for a particular package or packaging component based upon the criterion and submit such documentation as necessary to support the request for the exemption; and provided further that the [state administrative agency] may grant an exemption for up to two years if warranted by the circumstances; and provided further that such an exemption may, upon reapplication for exemption and meeting the criterion of this subsection, be renewed at two-year intervals. For purposes of this subsection, a use for which there is no feasible alternative is one in which the petitioner conclusively demonstrates that the regulated substance is essential to the protection, safe handling, or function of the package’s contents and that technical constraints preclude the use of alternatives. “No feasible alternative” does not include use of any of the regulated metals for the purposes of marketing.      Certificate of Compliance:Upon request，a Certificate of Compliance stating that a package or packaging component is in compliance with the requirements of this Act shall be furnished by its manufacturer or supplier to the purchaser of the packaging or packaging component. If the above exemption is in compliance, the Certificate of Compliance shall state the specific basis upon which the exemption is claimed. The Certificate of Compliance shall be signed by an authorized official of the manufacturing or supplying company.       Official website link: https://toxicsinpackaging.org/model-legislation/model/
