Article Interpretation Changing?❖ Obligations to report SVHCs in articles applies to components incorporated into

articles, not the whole article.

❖ Not legally Binding, tends to influence

❖ Communication – suppliers of entire articles must provide information on SVHCs if

they are present in any of its components and relevant information is “available.”

❖ Notification - producer vs importer responsibilities, notification is rarely in play

❖ Where did this come from?

❖ What now?

➢ We wait on the the Court of Justice ruling
