On 27 June 2018, ECHA has added eight new substances to the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) following the SVHC identification process with the involvement of the Member State Committee (MSC). Two substances, TMA and DCHP, have also been added to the list due to their respiratory sensitising properties, toxic for reproduction and endocrine-disrupting properties. The candidate list now contains 191 substances.
