Authorisation

Title VII of the REACH Regulation (No. 1907/2006) deals with the authorisation of chemical substances considered to be of potential concern. Authorisation is use-specific permission to use a substance of very high concern (SVHC).

The principal steps in the Authorisation process are as follows:

1. Identification of a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC)
2. Substance Prioritisation
3. Inclusion of substance in Annex XIV
4. Applications for Authorisation
5. Granting of Authorisations
