Statement of REACH Initiative
Mercury supports the aim of REACH in improving the protection of human health and the environment and is active in limiting our use of chemicals. REACH : Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical Substances in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006.
We have reviewed our products and do not have any parts that we manufacture or purchase with a chemical content that requires REACH registration. Mercury is a producer of articles and its products do not contain any of the 16 Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) identified on a REACH regulation, ECHA proposed list (reference list on next page) in their composition or make-up.? Additionally, Mercury, as a non-EU based entity, does not exceed 1 metric ton of exports of products to EU.
Mercury will continue to monitor the REACH requirement for any changes in the materials involving registration, and in particular, the SVHC list and the 16 items currently on the list. Should any changes be made to Mercury products that require REACH registration, or the list of items requiring registration changes, Mercury will notify you accordingly.
Yours truly,
Encl. 16 Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) identified on a REACH regulation
