It is part of our corporate culture to comply with all applicable legal obligations. Therefore we are taking all necessary steps in order to fulfill our responsibilities also under this new EU Regulation.

Směrnice REACH

REACH, the new EU Regulation 1907/2006/EC about chemicals, is intended to replace a large number of existing directives and regulations, which have developed historically. REACH entered into force on 1st June 2007.

Also in the past the authorities have evaluated and eventually restricted the use of certain chemicals when risks were found. Under REACH significant parts of the responsibilities are shifted to manufacturers and importers, either of chemicals on their own and preparations, as well as of articles.

Objectives

Especially, REACH defines obligations along the whole supply chain to give information to the next actor in order to allow safe use of chemicals and articles manufactured from them, and to avoid liability problems.

We are well aware of our responsibilities under the REACH regulation. Please see below information about the impact it has on products with the original Omron brand name.

The candidate list of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) has been published on the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) website since 28th October 2008 and is regularly updated.

We are checking continuously whether substances included on the candidate list are contained in our articles or packaging materials in a concentration above 0.1 % (by weight).

Please find up to date SVHC information regarding Omron products below. Products not found on this list are either free from SVHCs or are currently under survey.
