The regulation (EC) 1907/2006 of the European Parliaments and of the Council concerning the registra-
tion, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals (REACh) regulates the production, placing on
the market and use of chemical substances and the mixtures produced from these.
Our products are "products" in the sense of the REACh regulation. In accordance with Article33 of the
REACh regulation, suppliers of products must inform their customers if the supplied product contains a
substance specified in the REACh SVHC candidate list exceeding 0.1percent by mass of the object. On
June 27, 2018 lead (CAS: 7439-92-1 / EINECS: 231-100-4) was included in the SVHC candidate list.
This inclusion activates an obligation to inform along the chain of delivery.
We herewith inform you that individual partial components of our products contain lead in quantities ex-
ceeding 0.1% by mass of the object as an alloy component in steel, aluminum and copper alloys as
well as in solders and capacitors of electronic components. The lead content lies within the exceptions
specified in the RoHS Directive.
Since lead as an alloy component is firmly bound and therefore no exposure is to be expected in the
case of proper use, no additional specification of its safe use are required.
