Company Statement on RoHS and REACH
RoHS
RoHS2 European Directive 2011/65/EU dealing with the restriction of the use of certain hazardous
substances in electrical and electronic equipment (UKCA Regulation on the Restriction of the Use
of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2012).
The product ranges listed below comply with the European Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS2)
Directive 2011/65/EU, as last amended on June 4th, 2015, published as Directive (EU) 2015/863 regarding the
allowed amounts of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB),
polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), bis(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP),
dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP).
REACH
European Union REACH Regulation EC 1907/2006
The product ranges listed below, and the product packaging do not contain chemical substances included in the
ECHA candidate list in a concentration above 0.1% weight by weight (w/w), with the following exceptions:
Substances of Very High Concern (SHVC)
Lead (CAS No: 7439-92-1) is present above the limit of 0.1% weight. Lead can be found as an alloying element
in steel, galvanized steel, aluminium copper alloys, and as a component in solders and in glass. Currently these
leaded components are exempted under RoHS2 Directive.
N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) (CAS No: 127-19-5) is present at 0.1 % - 0.25 % weight. The substance can be
found in Nomex® Sheet used as a high temperature resistant insulation.
This statement will be updated as changes to the product are made, or new substances are added to the
candidate list. Information will also be provided to customers upon request.
Note: Additional substances are expected to be added indefinitely to the ECHA candidate list pursuant to Article
59(10) of the REACH Regulation. The validity of this document is dependent upon the latest update from ECHA.
Please contact us for further details.

RoHS / REACH Restricted Products
The products shown in Table 3 contain lead solder and therefore do not meet the requirements of EU Directive
2011/65/EU on the restriction of hazardous substances in electrical / electronic equipment (RoHS) effective from
22nd July 2019.
They are supplied within the UK and EU only for use as part of excluded applications such as “large-scale
stationary industrial tools” and “large-scale industrial installations”. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure
that the product is used in a way that complies with UK and EU law.
