Two new dossiers (vPvB and reproduction toxicity) added by Austria and Sweden to the current SVHC intention list. They are:
1. bis(4-chlorophenyl) sulphone - Monomer for the manufacture of polymers and agricultural products either as an insecticide by itself or as impurity)
2. Diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide - Activator, catalyst, surfactant, pigment or UV-absorbent.
