Other substances

The MSC agreement seeking process to identify triphenyl phosphate (TPhP; EC no. 204-112-2) as an SVHC was foreseen for the committee’s June meeting. However, having consulted the committee members and the dossier submitter, ECHA decided to suspend the agreement seeking process for this substance because substantial new information became available in the days preceeding the meeting.

This suspension ensures that the newly provided data will be properly evaluated and considered in the SVHC identification process. This is an exceptional arrangement and applies only in the conditions specific to this case.
