REACH
Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulates the manufacturing, placing on the market and use of chemicals and mixtures thereof.
In terms of the REACH regulation, our products are articles. In accordance with Article 33 of the REACH Regulation, suppliers of articles must inform their customers if the supplied article contains a substance on the REACH Candidate List (SVHC list) with contents greater than 0.1 mass percent. On 27.06.2018 lead (CAS: 7439-92-1 / EINECS: 231-100-4) was added to the candidate list SVHC. This inclusion triggers an information obligation in the supply chain.
We hereby inform you that our products are manufactured from copper alloys containing lead of more than 0.1 % by weight to improve their machinability and corrosion resistance. The classification according to the German Hazardous Substances Act, the rules for the safe handling of lead metal and the range of applications of our products remain unchanged.
Products made of copper and copper alloys do not fall within the scope of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP Regulation) and are therefore not subject to classification and labelling obligations.
