Release time: 2019-03-06
Whatever gift bag, gift box, wrapping paper, gift tag or greeting card, etc., we should know REACH SVHC FOR OFFSET MIXTURE INK if it needs to print, let’s check remark together as below :
1. The chemical analysis of specified SVHC is performed by means of currently available analytical techniques against the following SVHC related documents published by ECHA: http://echa.europa.eu/web/guest/candidate-list-table
These lists are under evaluation by ECHA and may subject to change in the future.
2. Concerning article(s):
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, any EU producer or importer of articles shall notify ECHA, in accordance with paragraph 4 of Article 7, if a substance meets the criteria in Article 57 and is identified in accordance with Article 59(1) of the Regulation, if (a) the substance in the Candidate List is present in those articles in quantities totaling over one tonne per producer or importer per year; and (b) the substance in the Candidate List is present in those articles above a concentration of 0.1% weight by weight (w/w).
Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 requires supplier of an article containing a substance meeting the criteria in Article 57 and identified in accordance with Article 59(1) in a concentration above 0.1% weight by weight (w/w) shall provide the recipient of the article with sufficient information, available to the supplier, to allow safe use of the article including, as a minimum, the name of that substance in the Candidate List.
SGS adopts the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the definition of an article under REACH unless indicated otherwise. Detail explanation is available at the following link:

3. Concerning material(s):
Test results in this report are based on the tested sample. This report refers to testing result of tested sample submitted as homogenous material(s). In case such material is being used to compose an article, the results indicated in this report may not represent SVHC concentration in such article. If this report refers to testing result of composite material group by equal weight proportion, the material in each composite test group may come from more than one article.
If the sample is a substance or mixture, and it directly exports to EU, client has the obligation to comply with the supply chain communication obligation under Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 and the conditions of Authorization of substance of very high concern included in the Annex XIV of the Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006.
4. Concerning substance and preparation:
If a SVHC is found over 0.1% (w/w) and/or the specific concentration limit which is set in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and No 790/2009, client is suggested to prepare a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) against the SVHC to comply with the supply chain communication obligation under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, in which:
- a substance that is classified as hazardous under the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
- a mixture that is classified as dangerous according Dangerous Preparations Directive 1999/45/EC or classified as hazardous under the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, when their concentrations are equal to, or greater than, those defined in the Article 3(3) of 1999/45/EC or the lower values given in Part 3 of Annex VI of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008; or
- a mixture is not classified as dangerous under Directive 1999/45/EC, but contains either:
- a substance posing human health or environmental hazards in an individual concentration of ≥ 1 % by weight for mixtures that are solid or liquids (i.e., non-gaseous mixtures) or ≥ 0.2 % by volume for gaseous mixtures; or
- a substance that is PBT, or vPvB in an individual concentration of ≥ 0.1 % by weight for mixtures that are solid or liquids (i.e., non-gaseous mixtures); or
- a substance on the SVHC candidate list (for reasons other than those listed above), in an individual concentration of ≥ 0.1 % by weight for non-gaseous mixtures; or
- a substance for which there are Europe-wide workplace exposure limits.
- If a SVHC is found over the reporting limit, client is suggested to identify the component which contains the SVHC and the exact concentration of the SVHC by requesting further quantitative analysis from the laboratory.
