Candidate List grows to 253: n-hexane and Bisphenol AF added
Two new entries trigger Article 33 and SCIP duties for articles above 0.1 % w/w. Solvents, adhesives and fluoropolymer supply chains are most exposed.

Why Verachek
The same legal duty as a multinational, without the compliance department.
If you place articles or mixtures on the EU market you carry REACH, RoHS and POPs obligations. The Candidate List changes twice a year. Until now the options were an enterprise suite, a consultant's day rate, or a spreadsheet.
Enterprise suites
Built for supplier-declaration campaigns across thousands of parts. Months to implement, priced for a procurement cycle.
Consultants
Trusted, but slow and expensive for a single question, and you wait in their queue every time the list changes.
Verachek
Upload or declare, get a verdict you can file, re-screen in one click when the rules change. From €0, no setup.
How it works
Three steps from your product data to a verdict you can file.
Submit what you have
Upload a Safety Data Sheet, or declare substances by name, CAS or EC number and concentration. No SDS is needed for a declared check.
Every substance is screened
Each one is matched by CAS against 13 EU lists, with the entry's own concentration limit, group sum-rules and category derogations applied.
Act on the result
A RED, AMBER or GREEN verdict per substance and overall, with Article 33 text, phase-out dates and safer alternatives. RED results are reviewed by an engineer before you see them.

How we work
The standards behind every verdict.
Verachek is run like a compliance function, not a lookup tool. These are the rules it works to on every screening, for every client.
01
Official sources only
Every list is compiled from the official EU legal texts and their published updates, versioned and dated. Nothing is inferred or invented.
02
Traceable verdicts
Each hit cites the list entry and the knowledge-base version it rests on, so any past result can be reproduced.
03
Engineer review
A materials and product-compliance engineer maintains the lists and checks every RED result before it is released.
04
Flags, never guesses
Missing concentrations and unreadable pages are flagged for attention. An unclear result is never shown as GREEN.
05
Data protection by default
Processing under the GDPR with a Data Processing Agreement, isolated client workspaces and deletion on request.
06
Your decision stays yours
Verachek informs your compliance decision. You remain the duty-holder under REACH and RoHS, and every report says so.
Working with
REACH Annex XVII, the list most tools skim
Restrictions screened entry by entry, with the conditions that actually decide the outcome.
The Candidate List gets the headlines, but Annex XVII is where products get stopped at the border. Its 70-plus entries don't share a single limit: each carries its own concentration threshold, article scope, exemptions and dates. Verachek applies them the way an enforcement lab reads them.
- Entry-specific limits. 0.1 % for the four phthalates in entry 51, 0.01 % cadmium in entry 23, 0.5 µg/cm²/week nickel release in entry 27, not one blanket number.
- Article-category scope. a phthalate in a toy is not the same verdict as a phthalate in an industrial gasket. The category you select drives the applicable entries.
- Group sum-rules. phthalates, PAHs and PFAS families are summed where the entry requires it, so four substances just under a limit can't add up to a false GREEN.
- Exemptions and transition dates. derogations and application dates are surfaced with the entry, so you know whether a hit applies to your product today.
- Forward look. CMR 1A/1B classifications under CLP Annex VI are flagged as future entries 28–30 / 72 candidates.

Advisory and data assessment
More than one product? Bring the whole dataset.
Supplier declarations that came back incomplete, a bill of materials with thousands of parts, a PFAS inventory before the restriction, a material that must be replaced. The engineer behind Verachek takes these on as scoped assessments with a written deliverable.
- Bulk BoM and bill-of-substances screening
- Supplier data gap analysis and chase lists
- Compliant materials and chemical sourcing
- Article 33, SCIP and dossier packaging
Example scope
| Input | ERP export, 3,200 parts across 14 products; 140 supplier declarations of mixed quality |
| Work | Normalise, screen every part against 13 lists, reconcile declarations, rank gaps |
| Output | Per-part verdict dataset, 14 product roll-ups, supplier chase list, Article 33 texts, written assessment |

Questions
Before you upload anything.
Is a Verachek verdict legal advice?
No. Verachek is an automated screening aid built and reviewed by a materials and product-compliance engineer. It informs your decision; you remain the legal duty-holder under REACH, RoHS and the other regulations. Every report says so.
How do I know the result is right?
Every hit cites the list entry it rests on, so you can check it against the official source. Missing concentrations and unreadable SDS pages are flagged instead of guessed, an unclear result is never shown as GREEN, and every RED verdict is reviewed by an engineer before release.
Which regulations are covered?
Thirteen EU lists, including the REACH SVHC Candidate List, Annex XIV and Annex XVII, RoHS Annex II, the POPs Regulation, PFAS restrictions and the Battery Regulation. The full list, with how each one is screened, is on the Regulations page. Scope is EU/EEA at launch.
What does the free check include?
A real screening of one product, either declared substances or one SDS, with the RED / AMBER / GREEN verdict and hits by list, sent by email. No account and no card. The full report with Article 33 text, phase-out dates and alternatives comes with a paid report from €29 or a plan.
What happens to my Safety Data Sheet?
It is used only to produce your verdict and is stored in an isolated workspace. Free-check submissions are deleted after 90 days unless you open an account, and any file is deleted on request. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
When will I receive my result?
AMBER and GREEN results are sent as soon as the screening is complete. RED results are checked by a compliance engineer before release, so they follow once that review is done.
Can you screen a whole bill of materials?
Yes. Bulk BoM and bill-of-substances screening is quoted per job: one setup fee plus a price per line that falls as the volume grows, confirmed in writing before any work starts. See bulk screening.
Do I need an account?
Not for the free check. Reports and plans are arranged by email, and the client workspace is set up for your team on request. See Client access.
