SIN List 2.1 update: new information from REACH registrations extends the SIN List
The SIN List has today been updated to version 2.1, adding additional chemicals to the list of Substances of Very High Concern identified by ChemSec. The new additions are mainly substances that are carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction.
Registration dossiers submitted by companies following the requirements of the EU chemicals regulation, REACH, provide new information about the production and use of chemicals in the EU. This information has been used for this technical 2.1 update of the SIN List to identify substances that are fully registered, and thus are used and produced in a way that is subject to REACH regulation.
Besides new information from REACH registrations dossiers, the SIN update also includes substances newly classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction according to the EU CLP regulation. Also, a few substances recently agreed by EU member states as Substances of Very High Concern and included on the Candidate List have been added. These have not previously been identified by the SIN List methodology, as they are in fact for example mixtures or lack a unique identification (CAS) number. This update of 249 substances and substance groups results in a SIN List of 626 substance entries.
