EU REACH adds two new substances of very high concern to the candidate list, increasing the number to 163. The European Chemical Agency added two new substances of very high concern (SVHC) on June 15. One is an alkyl ester containing more than 0.31 TP3T dihexyl phthalate, which is included in the SVHC candidate list due to its reproductive toxicity properties. Such substances are mostly used as plasticizers or lubricants, including bonding, painting, building materials, cables and other uses. Another substance was included in the list due to its very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB) properties and its main use is as a main component of the fragrance raw material "karanal". After adding these two SVHCs, there are a total of 163 SVHC substances as of June 15, 2015. The newly added SVHC information is as follows: Serial number reference Chinese name English name EC number CAS number Reason for inclusion in SVHC 162 1,2-phthalic acid di-C6-10 alkyl ester; 1,2-phthalic acid mixed decyl and hexane and octyl diester , containing ≥0.3% dihexyl phthalate (DNHP, EC No. 201-559-5, CAS No. 84-75-3) 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C6-10-alkyl esters; 1,2-benzenedicarbox
