REACH / SVHC — Chemical Substance DisclosureREACH
REACH requires disclosure when a Substance of Very High Concern exceeds 0.1% of an article. The Candidate List changes twice a year — a compliant product can become exposed overnight. Regonance checks your bill of materials against the live list.
The concrete categories in scope
Textiles, cosmetics, electronics and consumer-goods sellers with material / chemical exposure. Brands with complex supply chains and limited substance visibility. Agencies running substance compliance for clients.
What REACH obliges you to do
Check SVHC presence at the 0.1% threshold
Per article (per component for complex products like footwear), against the current Candidate List.
Communicate under Article 33
Inform B2B recipients (and consumers on request) when an SVHC is present above threshold.
Notify SCIP
Submit a SCIP notification to ECHA for articles containing Candidate List substances above threshold.
Key dates and what they trigger
Candidate List updates
January and June — products re-checked automatically on update.
SCIP notification
SCIP notification obligation in force for articles above threshold.
Annex XVII restrictions
Restrictions expand (e.g. 2026 CMR additions affecting consumer products).
From exposed to audit-ready
Six readiness checks Regonance turns from gap to source-traced for REACH.
What the platform does for REACH
Available on Pro and Agency.
Check the bill of materials
Per article and per component, against the live Candidate List — source-traced findings on what's above threshold.
Generate Article 33 + SCIP outputs
Communication to B2B recipients and SCIP notification payloads — auditable record of when and to whom.
Re-check automatically on list update
Every January and June the Candidate List moves — your portfolio is re-assessed without manual work.
The gaps we see most often on REACH
- No bill of materials or substance data captured
- Missing supplier declarations against the Candidate List
- SVHC present above 0.1% undisclosed to recipients
- No Article 33 communication to B2B recipients
- Missing SCIP notification to ECHA
Every REACH finding is source-traced — what the gap is, where it came from in your inputs, and the remediation step. A readiness report, not a verdict.
REACH questions, answered
What is an SVHC?
A Substance of Very High Concern on the REACH Candidate List, with disclosure and notification obligations when present above 0.1% in an article.
What's the 0.1% threshold?
If an SVHC exceeds 0.1% by weight of an article (per component for complex products), disclosure and SCIP obligations apply.
How often does the list change?
The Candidate List updates roughly twice a year (January and June) — Regonance re-checks your products automatically on update.
What is a SCIP notification?
A submission to ECHA for articles containing Candidate List substances above threshold, supporting the circular-economy database.
Why is REACH on higher tiers only?
It needs bill-of-materials and supplier data depth, so it's a Pro / Agency feature. Informational guidance, not legal advice.
