We hereby declare that all of our products and its packaging comply with the requirements according to European Union (EU) Regulation 1907/2006/EC (REACH). Our products or packaging do not contain any of the Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) defined by the REACH candidate list with levels that exceed the 0.1% (w/w) limits. The current SVHC candidate list can be found on the ECHA website: http://echa.europa.eu/chem_data/authorisation_process/candidate_li st_table_en.asp. The current list follows as an attachment to this declaration. LAST UPDATE: January 2012 As each new candidate list is published, RECOM will check that we are still within compliance and withdraw from sale any product or packaging material that no longer complies. i.A Gerhard Reifner i.A. Steve Roberts Quality Manager Technical Director RECOM has on-going initiatives to comply with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical (REACH) regulation under EC 1907/2006. RECOM hereby declares that the candidate list of the substances of very high concern (SVHC) shown in the table below are not contained in any RECOM products.
