A substance is an SVHC if it meets at least one of the following criteria (Article 57): - CMR substance, category 1A or 1B (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic or toxic to Reproduction) - PBT substance (Persistent, Bio-accumulative and Toxic) - vPvB substance (very Persistent and very Bio-accumulative) - Substance of equivalent concern (example: endocrine disruptors) |
| What is a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) ? | The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a mandatory passport for industrial hazardous chemicals (substances/mixtures).
