REACH
(Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals)




Dear Valued Customer,

REACH is a European Union (EU) initiative also known as EC Directive No. 1907/2006. This directive requires that companies register chemical substances in products being shipped into the EU.

Article 7 (Registration and Notification of Substances in Articles) states the following:

"1. Any producer or importer of articles shall submit a registration to the Agency for any substance contained in those articles, if both of the following condition are met:

(a) The substance is present in those articles in quantities totaling over 1 ton per producer or importer per year.

(b) The substance is intended to be released under normal or reasonable foreseeable conditions of use."

Based on the above statement from the Directive, we have concluded that we are exempt from registering. While we may ship more that 1 ton of material to the EU, the substances (chemicals) contained in our product are not intended to be released to the environment under any conditions.
