RoHS
The European RoHS directive is related to the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
Within the framework of this directive, all our semiconductors are RoHS compliant.
If you have any questions regarding RoHS, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Reach
(REACH : Enregistrement, évaluation et autorisation des produits chimiques.)
We would like to inform you that our company is fully aware of the entry into force of the (EC) REACH regulation N°1907/2006 since June 1st 2007 and of the various obligations related to this regulation.
We have made an inventory of the chemical substances, preparations and articles that we use or manufacture and the origin of each one to define our status with regard to REACH. With regard to REACH, our company is considered as a downstream user of chemical substances, as well as a producer of non-releasing articles. In this context, and given our volumes used, we are not currently subject to pre-registration or registration of chemical substances.
Nevertheless, we will continue to be vigilant to a possible evolution of our status with respect to REACH, because our goal is to maintain our services to our customers and to provide you with the products you need. To this end, we are working closely with our raw material suppliers to ensure that they have registered the substances contained in the products we use, if applicable. We also intend to collect and process the information obtained by our suppliers and to inform you in a timely manner.
As a producer of articles, if the articles we supply to you contain one or more substances of very high concern (e.g. carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic) that are identified in the candidate list for authorisation, we are required to provide you with certain information, if the concentration of one of these substances is greater than 0.1% w/w. 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 within our company and with our suppliers whether we use such substances. If we are affected by the above-mentioned obligation, we will provide you with the necessary information as soon as possible. In addition, we will monitor this list as it is regularly updated.
If you have any questions regarding REACH, please do not hesitate to contact us.
