It is the regulation of the European Union for the preventive management of all chemicals entering its market. It was officially implemented on June 1, 2007. It involves substances, components, and items. In terms of items, it mainly focuses on the transmission of information about substances of high concern (SVHC). So far, there are 224 types of SVHCS, and the number will increase gradually in the future.
