Information on RoHS and REACH

RoHS (Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances)

Articles without labelling are either not ROHS-compliant or are in the process of being clarified with the manufacturer. Otherwise, the current status can be taken from these RoHS.

NR article according to ROHS directive not relevant

NK article not for ROHS compliant applications and developments

Status 1.7.2006 means that these components comply with the EU directive with version 01.07.2006. The EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS), which came into force on 1 July 2006, prohibits the marketing of products containing the metals lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and hexavalent chromium (Cr-VI) as well as the organic (halogenated) flame retardants polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE).

Status 1.7.2008 means that these components comply with the EU directive with version 01.07.2008. With the version from 01.07.2008 no decabromodiphenyl ether (Deca-BDE) may be contained.

Status 8.6.2011 means that these components comply with the EU directive with version 08.06.2011. The new RoHS II Directive (Directive 2011/65/EU) became effective on January 3, 2013 and replaces RoHS I (Directive 2002/95/EC). The RoHS revised version was published on July 1, 2011.
RoHS II contains several changes for manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). So far there are no new substance restrictions compared to 2002/95/EC. The exceptions have also been retained.
The new RoHS III Directive (2015/863/EU) of 31 March 2015 contains amendments mainly for the placing on the market of products containing the metals lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and hexavalent chromium (Cr-VI) as well as the organic flame retardants from Directive 2011/65/EU. New additions are plasticizers bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP). The ban on placing on the market of products containing the above plasticizers will apply from 22 July 2019. For the time being, the exemption for medical products is limited to 22 July 2021.

Obligation to pass on information
Die Weiterleitung von Informationen in der Lieferkette ist unter REACH unsere einzige Pflicht. Wir sind bestrebt, Sie bei den Informationsverpflichtungen nach Artikel 33 der Verordnung (REACH) (EG) Nr. 1907/2006 (REACH) zu unterstützen. Möglicherweise muss zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt nachgewiesen werden, dass Informationen angefragt bzw. innerhalb der Lieferkette weitergeleitet wurden. Um die REACH-Anforderungen (Artikel 36, Aufbewahrungspflicht 10 Jahre) auch hier zu erfüllen, können wir Ihre Anfragen ausschließlich per Fax, in schriftlicher oder in elektronischer Form entgegennehmen und beantworten.

Labelling of SVHC
Artikel die laut Hersteller besonders besorgniserregende Stoffe (SVHC) enthalten werden in unseren Rechnungen mit Angabe des Substanznamens, der Konzentration, der EC-Nr. und der CAS-Nr. ausgewiesen. In unserem Webshop werden die Artikel zweifelsfrei gekennzeichnet (siehe Seitenlegende).
SVHC bedeutet, dass dieses Bauteil (Erzeugnis) besonders besorgniserregende Stoffe enthält.

According to Article 33 of the REACH Regulation, each supplier is obliged to provide sufficient information on the occurrence of SVHC from the REACH Candidate List in a concentration greater than 0.1 mass percent (w/w) to enable the safe use of articles to the purchasers of articles.
Our manufacturers and suppliers have informed us that the articles listed below contain substances of very high concern.
