The European Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) entered into force on 1st June 2007 and candidate list updated June 2010, June 2012, Dec. 2013, June and Dec. 2014, June and Dec. 2015, June 2016, Jan. and July 2017, January, July 2018, Jan. and July 2019, Jan. and June 2020, Jan. and July 2021, Jan. and June 2022, Jan. and June 2023, Jan., June and Nov. 2024.
Quartzcom AG is manufacturer and distributor of electronic products, thus, in the sense of REACH, we are so called “downstream-users”. The products we supply to you are solely non-chemical products (goods). Moreover and under normal and reasonably foreseeable circumstances of application, the goods supplied to you shall not release any substance. For that, QuartzCom AG is neither obliged to the registration nor to the creation of material safety data sheet (MSDS).
Furthermore, we will immediately inform you in correspondence to REACH – Article 33 if any substance of content (as from a content of <0.1 %) in our goods will be classified alarming by the European Agency for Chemicals ECHA. Based on the current status, however, we do not expect such an incidence. (Full list of the 242 SVHC please see: http://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table)
Independent of that fact, we are intensively pursuing the realisation of REACH on the part of our production lines; we do that in our own interest and in order to guarantee a high level of product safety for our customers. We are in close contact with our suppliers of chemistry and prepared material (e.g. manufacturing supplies for manufacturing, processing and workmanship of our products or for the utilisation within other operative processes) and will implement the pre-registration and/or later registration of the relevant materials in REACH respectively in our process of supplier qualification.
