REACH & SVHC for Cosmetic Packaging: What Buyers Need to Know
July 8, 2026
A buyer-focused guide to REACH, Candidate List SVHCs, component declarations, testing scope and cosmetic packaging change control.
The SVHC 0.1% article threshold refers to the REACH communication requirement for substances of very high concern present in an article above 0.1% by weight. For cosmetic packaging, the relevant article may be an individual component—such as a bottle, pump, cap, gasket, decoration or coating—rather than the entire assembled pack, so scope matters. Buyers should request supplier declarations that identify the exact component, material and Candidate List review date, then assess whether further information or testing is warranted. This topic explains the threshold concept, component-level reasoning and documentation expectations; it is procurement guidance, not a substitute for legal or regulatory advice.
