REACH Statement
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) is a European Union Commission (EUC) Regulation on chemicals and their safe use (EC 1907/2006). REACH entered into force on June 1, 2007 and will be phased in until 2018.
Rochester Electronics, LLC supports the basis of REACH in improving the protection of human health and the environment through early identification of the properties of chemical substances used in the production of its products.
Rochester Electronics, LLC will meet all REACH requirements and is committed to provide our customers with information about substances in our products according to future REACH requirements.
Under REACH, registration is required for substances which are used in the EUC for manufacturing of articles (e.g. manufactured goods such as cars, textiles, electronic chips), this requirement does not apply to our operations.
Suppliers of articles must provide recipients with information on Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) if those are present above a concentration limit of 0.1 % weight on an article level. This list of substances will be published in 2009. It is anticipated that substances used in electronic products will be registered by raw material manufacturers within the supply chain.
Rochester Electronics, LLC continues to work with its suppliers to ensure that all SVHC are notified to the European Chemicals Agency, if necessary, to comply with this REACH requirement.
