REACH - SVHC


                                                        REACH;
                          Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern

 
                                                   January 2023


The identification of a substance as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) and its
inclusion on the Candidate List is the first step of the Authorisation procedure of the
REACH regulation.

Article 33 of the REACH regulation states that manufacturers of a preparation are
required to notify their customers if any SVHC listed on the Candidate List is present in
their products exceeding 0.1% by weight.
 
Since 28 October 2008, the ECHA has included 233 substances on the Candidate List.
Rubber Resources has selected 19 of these substances with a potential use in the rubber
industry. Three of these are pigments and are only used in coloured rubber compounds.
Rubber Resources uses only black raw materials without any colouring pigments. For all
recycled products of Rubber Resources, analyses of the remaining 16 substances has
shown individual concentrations far below 0.1% (w/w).

Based on these test results and generic information and knowledge, Rubber Resources
confirms that none of their recycled products contain a SVHC listed on the Candidate List
in a concentration above 0.1% (w/w). This statement includes all grades of butyl reclaim
(RBR), natural rubber reclaim (RNR), truck tire reclaim (RTT) and curing bladder reclaim
(RCR).
