Current status

EU status, SVHC, REACH, and POPs view

Hexabromocyclododecane is currently surfaced as authorisation list (annex xiv) in the EU.

The current imported view anchors this substance in REACH and CandidateList. The live rationale focuses on PBT (Article 57d), and this page is designed for fast status checks before deeper source review.

This page is meant to answer the direct search query about EU status before you branch into obligations, SCIP, or source verification.

What this status page should answer

The HBCDD regulatory page should work for both exact-name and abbreviation searchers who want to connect HBCDD identity with Annex XIV, Candidate List history, and the current imported EU framework position.

Who should care

  • Materials, formulation, and product-compliance teamswatch
  • Authorisation and continued-use reviewerswatch

Questions this route should settle

  • Does the current imported record set show Annex XIV, Candidate List history, or both?
  • Should users read this as an authorisation-style problem rather than a simple watchlist answer?
  • Which official source rows support the current HBCDD status interpretation?

What to do next

Operational routes from the current status

Article duties

Check Candidate List threshold and SCIP relevance

Use this when the substance may sit in articles, components, or imported goods and you need to confirm communication and SCIP workflows.

 Use pathway

Check whether current use depends on an authorisation-style pathway

REACH-facing rows should trigger a direct review of legal basis, named use, and whether internal approvals still match the imported status.

 Portfolio review

Screen affected product families and formulations

The use profile suggests this substance can appear in materials portfolios where one listing can ripple across multiple SKUs, suppliers, or component bills.

 Source check

Verify the legal source before repeating the claim

Every summary should point back to the underlying authority surface. Use the source route when the exact notice, registry entry, or legal text matters.
