Raj Takhar: While the AD-DSL does contain substances from the REACH SVHC and Annex XIV (Authorisation) lists, the REACH Candidate List of SVHCs is updated twice annually, while the AD-DSL is only updated approximately every 12 months. Given the differences in update frequency, the AD-DSL should be compared to the latest official EU REACH SVHC and Annex XIV lists prior to making an assumption that these substances are also covered in a given release of the AD-DSL.
