RoHS
The European RoHS directive restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
As part of this directive, all our semiconductors are RoHS-compliant.
If you have any questions about RoHS, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Reach
(REACH: Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals).
We would like to inform you that our company is fully aware of the entry into force of the REACH regulation (EC) N°1907/2006 on June 1st 2007 and of the various obligations linked to this regulation.
In our company, we have drawn up an inventory of the chemical substances, preparations and articles we use or manufacture, and where they come from, in order to define our REACH status. Under REACH, our company is considered a downstream user of chemical substances, as well as a producer of non-releasing articles. In this context, and given the volumes we use, we are not currently subject to pre-registration or registration of chemical substances.
Nevertheless, we will continue to be vigilant to any changes in our REACH status, as our aim is to maintain our service to our customers and supply you with the products you need. To this end, we work closely with our raw materials suppliers to ensure that they have registered the substances contained in the products we use, where applicable. We also intend to collect and process information obtained from our suppliers and to inform you of this in good time.
As a manufacturer of articles, if the articles we supply to you contain one or more substances of very high concern (e.g. carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic) which are identified in the list of candidate substances for authorization, we are obliged to communicate certain information to you, if the concentration of one of these substances is greater than 0.1% mass/mass. Following the publication of the first list of candidate substances for authorization at the end of October 2008 (the list is updated regularly), we have checked with our company and our suppliers whether we use any such substances. If we are affected by the above obligation, we will send you the necessary information as soon as possible. What’s more, we’ll be monitoring this list as it is regularly updated.
If you have any questions about REACH, please do not hesitate to contact us.
