Updated ECHA Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)
On October 28th, 2008, the ECHA published the first time a „Candidate List of Substances of Very High
Concern for Authorisation” under REACh. This candidate list has been updated several times since
then and on 14th of June 2023 the latest revision has been published.
This is to confirm that current DyStar GmbH textile products do not use any of the 235 chemical
substance groups that are listed in the “Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for
Authorisation” revised by the ECHA on June 14th, 2023 (see overleaf) in the recipe of product
formulation, with exception of 2 substances in single selected products *1.
Please be assured that DyStar checks on alternatives on intentional usage of listed substances and
intends substitution wherever it is possible.
Please be furthermore assured that any intentional compound under suspicion for a severe
contamination with any of the candidates will directly be included into our monitoring program to
guarantee an uncritical level with respect to the legal obligations as listed on the ECHA web page for
substances in articles and for substances in mixtures. Usage of the DyStar GmbH sales products
therefore in general does not result in any of these legal obligations *1. The uncritical level cannot
always be guaranteed for Bisphenol S. Kindly check footnote *4.
Please carefully consider, that some entries were marked by us with an asterisk and a footnote.
Further details on previous and current proposals as well as on the candidates list can be found on the
ECHA web page under the Information on Chemicals section.

*1: Glutaral is an approved biocidal active substance for product type PT06 (preservative for products during storage). Where the substance is
used for in-can preservation of aqueous liquid products in relevant concentrations the content is given in section 3 of the specific safety data
sheet.
2-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)propionaldehyde (Lilial) is a well known fragrance used only in selected products of DyStar Evo range.
If contained in declarable quantities, the respective information can be found in the specific safety data sheet.
*2: Not contained in any of our products but may be used in mordant dyeing.
Please, contact us separately in case of questions regarding mordant dye application.
*3: Not deliberately added to any of our products but may be contained as impurity in some of our auxiliary products.
If contained in declarable quantities, the respective information can be found in the specific safety data sheet.
*4: Bisphenol S is not intentionally added to any of our products but may be present as an impurity in certain Sera Fast products. If present in
declarable quantities, the respective information can be found in the safety data sheet. Please note that the Bisphenol S concentration may
also exceed a concentration of 0,1% w/w in the finished textile article, which triggers certain obligations when placing the article on the
market in the EU (see https://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-obligations, section “Substances in Articles” for more details). Analytical
monitoring of the Bisphenol S concentration in the final textile article is highly recommended.
