REACH Statement
Registration of Substances:
After careful review of the legislation and specifically the definition of an “article” as defined in EC Regulation
1907/2006, Title II, Chapter 1, Article 7.1(a)(b), it is our current view Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. products would be
considered as “articles”. In light of the definition in § 7.1(b) which requires registration of an article only if it
contains a regulated substance that “is intended to be released under normal or reasonable foreseeable
conditions of use,” our analysis is that Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. products constitute nonregisterable articles for
their intended and anticipated use.
Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC):
Per the candidate list of Substances of Very high Concern (SVHC) published October 28, 2008 we have reviewed
these substances and certify the Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. products are compliant per the EU “REACH”
requirements of less than 0.1% (w/w) for each substance.
If new SVHC candidates are published by the European Chemicals Agency, and relevant substances have been
confirmed, that exceeds greater than 0.1% (w/w), Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. will provide updated compliance
status.
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. also declares it has been duly diligent in ensuring that the products supplied are
compliant through a formalized process which includes collection and validation of materials declarations and
selective materials analysis where appropriate. This data is controlled as a part of a formal quality system and will
