As global regulatory frameworks continue to evolve, the focus on Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) has intensified. These chemicals, identified as posing serious risks to human health or the environment, are subject to strict controls under regulations such as the European Union’s REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals) framework.
