On September 1, 2020, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) opened the public comment period on the identification of two potential SVHC due to reproductive toxicity.

The deadline for comments ended October 16, 2020.

The two proposed SVHCs and their potential uses are as following:

Substance Name CAS Number (EC Number) Reason(s) for proposing Potential Application Bis(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl) ether 143-24-8
(205-594-7) Toxic for reproduction Solvent for paints, inks and coatings, as a process chemical and as a lubricant. Dioctyltin dilaurate, stannane, dioctyl-, bis(coco acyloxy) derivs., and any other stannane, dioctyl-, bis(fatty acyloxy) derivs. wherein C12 is the predominant carbon number of the fatty acyloxy moiety -- Toxic for reproduction Stabilisers and catalysts in the production of e.g. plastics and rubber.

If the two proposals are accepted, the Candidates List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) will expand from 209 to 211 in December 2020 or January 2021.
