  "text": "The presence in the final product, and any homogeneous materials or articles thereof, of substances and mixtures that meet the criteria for classification according to Article 57 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council as substances of very high concern (SVHCs) or substances or mixtures that meet the criteria for classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council for the hazards listed in Table 2 shall be restricted in accordance with criteria 5.1 and 5.2.\nFor the purposes of this criterion, the Candidate List of substances of very high concern (SVHCs) and CLP hazard classifications are grouped in Table 2 according to their hazardous properties.\nThe criterion does not apply to substances or mixtures which change their properties upon processing (in other words, substances which become no longer bioavailable or undergo chemical modification) such that the identified hazard no longer applies. This shall include chemical reactions where substances have been modified such as polymerisation where monomers or additives become covalently bonded.\nTextile products that have been awarded the EU Ecolabel based on the ecological criteria of Decision 2014/350/EU are considered to comply with criterion 5.",
