(a) procured as substances on their own or in mixtures;
(b) manufactured as substances on their own or in mixtures;
(c) placed on the market as substances on their own or in mixtures; and
(d) directly released into the environment (air, water, and soil), including unintentional releases from leaks or spills.
19. Users of substances, whether on their own or in mixtures, shall disclose:
(a) the total weight of SVHC that they used during production and during the delivery of services; and
(b) the total weight of SVHC that they directly released into the environment.
20. Manufacturers of articles, importers of articles or users of articles that contain SVHC shall disclose the names of the substances that are present in a concentration above 0.1% weight by weight (w/w), as per Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH), in:

Application Requirements (AR)
Application Requirements (AR)
AR 4 for paras. 18 and 19 (SoC and SVHC)
The requirements in paragraph 18 apply only to undertakings operating in the chemical sector, namely manufacturing chemical substances (e.g. NACE Rev.2.1 C20 and, if applicable, C21), formulating chemical mixtures (e.g. NACE Rev.2.1 C20.3, C20.4, C20.5) or operating in the wholesale of chemical substances (e.g. NACE Rev.2.1 G46.85). These requirements do not apply to undertakings whose main activity is the manufacture of non-chemical products.
The requirements in paragraph 19 apply only to undertakings that are outside the scope of paragraph 18.
AR 5 for paras. 18 and 19 (SoC and SVHC)
Undertakings reporting under paragraphs 18 or 19 shall present SVHC grouped by hazard class (as per CLP Regulation 1272/2008/EC). This implies that a single substance needs to be counted under all applicable hazard classes. However, in the total amounts of procured, manufactured, sold and released substances, double counting shall be avoided.
AR 6 for paras. 18 and 19 (SoC and SVHC)
The substances shall be presented in tonnes or kilogrammes, or other mass unit relevant to the quantity and types of pollutants being released.
AR 7 for paras. 18, 19 and 20 (SoC and SVHC)
The information provided under this DR may refer to information the undertaking is already required to report under other legislation (e.g. Directive 2010/75/EU, Regulation (EC) No 166/2006, their subsequent amendments, etc.).
