European Regulation REACH EC 1907/2006 European Community Regulation No. EC 1907/2006 dated December 18, 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances (REACH) EAO is a global supplier of electrical and electronic switch products and switch accessories, keypads, keyboards, control panel assemblies and CAN interfaces for Transportation, Machinery, Telecommunications, Process Control, Lifting and Moving and Automotive. With the publication of the candidate list (article 59 REACH), 28th of October 2008 and continuous additions according to article 33(1) of the REACH-Regulation as per December 2012, suppliers are obligated to inform their industry-customer in the EU about the presence of «Substances of very high concern, SVHC» in its products. This is relevant as soon as their concentration in the products would be higher than 0.1 Mass-%. Suppliers of such goods have to provide sufficient information to their customer to ensure a safe handling. In minimum this should contain the name of the substance. Please note that EAO products do not release SVHC substances during use. If the delivered product contains any SVHC substances in concentrations exceeding 0.1% by mass of the complete product, these substances will be listed in a table attached to this letter. Currently, our products do not contain any of the SVHC substances in excess of the regulation. For this reason, there is no table attached at this time. Additional details (material of sub-components, weights, CAS-Number, etc…) may be obtained on request for an additional fee. Please contact your local EAO sales office with any question. Yours sincerely
