On March 4, 2022, Sweden proposes to ECHA to identify N-(hydroxymethyl)acrylamide (with CAS No 924-42-5) in the list of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).

SVHC list consists of substances considered to have serious effects on human health and the environment, which are usually irreversible. To use any substance in this list, authorization has to be requested. The identity of the substance and the PBT or vPvB properties and properties of equal concern are needed for commenting on this proposal.

The last day to comment is April 19, 2022. You can comment here.
