Switzerland announces its intention to expand its Candidate List of substances of very high concern (SVHC) under Annex 3 to the Ordinance on Protection against Dangerous Substances and Preparations (Chemicals Ordinance).

The announcement was made by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) in October 2021. The proposed expansion is an alignment with recent changes to the European Union’s Candidate List.

The eight substances are:

• Phenol, alkylation products (mainly in para position) with C12-rich branched alkyl chains from oligomerization, covering any individual isomers and/or combinations thereof (PDDP)
• Orthoboric acid, sodium salt
• Medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCP) [UVCB substances consisting of more than or equal to 80% linear chloroalkanes with carbon chain lengths within the range from C14 to C17]
• Glutaral
• 4,4 '-(1-methylpropylidene) bisphenol
• 2-(4-tert-butylbenzyl) propionaldehyde and its individual stereoisomers
• 2,2-bis (bromomethyl) propane1,3-diol (BMP), 2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol, tribromo derivative / 3-bromo-2,2-bis (bromomethyl) -1-propanol (TBNPA), 2,3-dibromo-1-propanol (2,3-DBPA)
• ·         1,4-dioxane

Under Article 71 of the Swiss Chemicals Ordinance ‘Articles Containing SVHCs,’ suppliers of an article containing an SVHC on the Candidate List in a concentration of more than 0.1% must provide the professional user or distributor of the article with sufficient information, available to the supplier, to allow the safe use of the article including, as a minimum the name of the substance. Equivalent information must also be supplied to consumers, free of charge, within 45 days of a request. This is also similar to Article 33 of REACH.

The changes will enter into force on February 1, 2022.

CL Educate Ltd., (NSE, BSE: CLEDUCATE), India’s only listed EdTech/MarTech entity and owner of Career Launcher - the popular TestPrep brand, today announced the sale of a third plot, held in one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, in Faridabad, had been sold for Rs. 32.4 million. Early in October, the firm had announced that it has been able to conclude sale of another 2 land parcels - a plot in Faridabad for Rs. 72.5 million and another in Amritsar for Rs. 23 million, the latter held through a subsidiary. The land parcel sale is part of a larger strategic decision by the company to convert its real estate bank (valued at Rs. 650-700 million) into cash for redeployment in its core business.

Commenting on the land sale, Arjun Wadhwa, Chief Financial Officer, CL Educate, said, “We are accelerating and redoubling on our effort to maximize shareholder value. Sale of unproductive real estate and subsequent deployment of realized cash to accelerate business growth is a key aspect of that push. With the real estate market springing back, we have been able to dispose of three land parcels with couple more parcels targeted for sale in the next 3-4 quarters.”
