Articles and SVHC obligations support for the EU market
We help companies understand and prepare for the main REACH obligations linked to articles, especially where SVHC presence, customer information duties, notification work and supply-chain communication need to be managed in a practical way.
Main support areas
This subpage keeps the topic simple and practical while still covering the main obligations companies usually need first when articles and SVHC-related duties come into scope.
Articles under REACH
Support with understanding when a product is treated as an article and what that means for REACH-related compliance, information duties and market placement.
SVHC / Candidate List duties
Guidance on how Candidate List updates affect articles, what internal checks are usually needed and how to organise practical follow-up after list changes.
Communication duties
Support with supply-chain communication, customer information and consumer-response processes connected to SVHC presence in articles.
Notification-related work
Practical help where article-related notification and data-preparation work becomes relevant, including SCIP-related preparation and related documentation tasks.
Typical duties by role in the supply chain
The related Ekotox pages place strong emphasis on the supply chain, especially on the different positions of manufacturers, importers, suppliers and downstream users, and on how information needs to move both up and down the chain. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Producers / importers of articles
These actors usually need to assess article composition, understand whether Candidate List substances are present, and determine whether additional information or notification-related work is needed. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Suppliers and distributors
These roles are closely connected to communication obligations, especially where information must be passed to recipients and maintained in a practical, traceable way through the supply chain. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Consumers and customer requests
The related pages also highlight the consumer-information angle, where suppliers may need to respond to requests concerning SVHC presence in articles and related safe-use information. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Further articles and SVHC pages
For users who want more detail, these Ekotox pages go deeper into articles, Candidate List duties, SCIP-related work and supply-chain communication obligations. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Main overview pages
Start with the main articles and SVHC pages for the core overview of obligations and practical responsibilities.
Notification and article-classification topics
These pages are useful when you need a more detailed look at articles under REACH and the notification-related side of article compliance.
Supply-chain and request handling
These pages focus more on communication duties, supplier obligations and the information expected in response to requests.
Articles obligations are not only about product content, but also about information flow
The Ekotox pages show that article-related REACH work is strongly connected to supply-chain communication: not only identifying whether SVHC-related duties apply, but also making sure relevant information can move upstream, downstream and, where needed, to consumers. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
In practice, many companies need help turning that legal framework into workable internal processes for supplier checks, Candidate List follow-up, document handling and customer-response workflows. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
