26Article 57(f) of the REACH Regulation requires, as regards the identification of substances other than those meeting the criteria for CMR, PBT or vPvB classification, that it be established, on a case-by-case basis, on the basis of scientific evidence, first, that it is probable that the substances concerned have serious effects on human health or the environment, and, second, that those effects ‘give rise to an equivalent level of concern to those of [CMR, PBT or vPvB substances]’. Those conditions are cumulative, so that the identification of a substance as being of very high concern must be rejected if either of those conditions is not met.
