Declaration Letter of REACH & RoHS Compliance
About REACH
In June 2007, the European Union Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 concerning the
Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)
was first released. Under this Regulation, manufacturers are required to
gather information on the properties of their chemical substances, which will
allow their safe handling, and to register the information to European
Chemicals Agency (ECHA). The aim is to improve the protection of human
health and the environment through the better and earlier identification of the
intrinsic properties of chemical substances.
About RoHS
RoHS Directive (EU Directive 2002/95/EC ) was issued in 2002, restricted the
use of the six chemicals lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium,
as well as flame retardants polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and
polybrominated dipheny ethers (PBDEs). Under this directive, manufacturers
are required to replace these chemicals in their products with less hazardous
alternatives.
Then RoHS 2.0 (Directive 2011/65/EU) has replaced Directive 2002/95/EC
since January 3, 2013. In 2015, EU commission publishes Directive (EU)
2015/863 to amend Annex II to EU RoHS 2 (Directive 2011/65/EU) to add 4

from 22 July 2019.
