Four new substances added to the Candidate List

ECHA has added three new substances to the Candidate List due to their toxicity to reproduction and a fourth due to a combination of other properties of concern. This latter causes probable serious effects to human health and the environment, giving rise to an equivalent level of concern to carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic (CMR), persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) and very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB) substances.

The decision to include perfluorobutane sulfonic acid (PFBS) and its salts, was taken with the involvement of the Member State Committee (MSC).

Substances included in the Candidate List for authorisation on 16 January 2020 and their SVHC properties:

#	Substance name	EC	CAS	Reason for inclusion	Examples of use(s)
1	Diisohexyl phthalate	276-090-2	71850-09-4	Toxic for reproduction (Article 57 (c))	Not registered under REACH.
2	2-benzyl-2-dimethylamino-4′-morpholinobutyrophenone	404-360-3	119313-12-1	Toxic for reproduction (Article 57 (c))	The substance is used in polymer production
3	2-methyl-1-(4-methylthiophenyl)-2-morpholinopropan-1-one	400-600-6	71868-10-5	Toxic for reproduction (Article 57 (c))	The substance is used in polymer production
4	Perfluorobutane sulfonic acid (PFBS) and its salts	–	–	Equivalent level of concern having probable serious effects to the environment (Article 57(f) – environment) Equivalent level of concern having probable serious effects to human health (Article 57(f) – human health)	Used as a catalyst/ additive/reactant in polymer manufacture and in chemical synthesis. It is also used as a flame retardant in polycarbonate (for electronic equipment).
