On March 9, 2017, the European Chemicals Administration (ECHA) conducted a public review on the inclusion of two potential substances of high concern (SVHCs) in the seventeenth batch of SVHC candidate substances, with a 45 day public consultation period ending on April 24, 2017.
On June 16, 2017, the European Chemical Administration (ECHA) announced that bisphenol A and perfluorohexanesulfonic acid and their salts would be added to the SVHC list by the end of June 2017, becoming the 17th batch of SVHC candidate substances.

Bisphenol A was previously added to the SVHC list on January 12, 2017 due to its reproductive toxicity. This proposal aims to increase its endocrine disrupting properties on human health. BPA is often used as an antioxidant in PVC processing; Used for epoxy resin curing agents, epoxy resin adhesives, and sealants; Production of thermal sensitive paper, polycarbonate, epoxy resin, coatings, etc.
Perfluorohexanesulfonic acid and its salts (PFHxS) have been proposed due to their high persistence and bioaccumulation. PFHxS is a known impurity in the production process of perfluorooctane sulfonate PFOS and can be used as a substitute for PFOS. PFHxS is often used as a fire foam component; Surfactants; Manufacturing of fluoropolymers; Protective coatings for water and stains on carpets, paper, and textiles
