14 July 2025 - News release Updated Candidate List reference substance package available for SCIP notifiers

Helsinki, 14 July 2025 - An updated reference substance package that is aligned with the latest inclusion of new hazardous chemicals to the Candidate List is now available for SCIP notifiers.

ECHA recommends companies to import this package to their IUCLID instances and use it when creating SCIP notifications for articles containing the newly added Candidate List substances.

When using this updated package and validating the dossier in IUCLID, users will receive a quality warning for two substances (ammonium heptadecafluorononanoate and sodium heptadecafluorononanoate). This warning is triggered because IUCLID has not yet been updated to reflect the latest version of the Candidate List.

The same quality warning will also appear in the validation report within the ECHA Submission Portal. However, users will still be able to successfully submit their SCIP notifications through the portal for articles containing the newly added substances.

This quality warning will be resolved with the next IUCLID release.

The Candidate List reference substances package for SCIP notifications includes:

• individual reference substance datasets;
• a change log of the Candidate List package;
• delta package reference substance datasets; and
• a list of reference substances.
