RoHS und REACH
Find out all about RoHS and REACH: important environmental and safety standards for our products, their significance and compliance.
RoHS (Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances)
Articles without labelling are either not RoHS-compliant or are in the process of being clarified with the manufacturer. Otherwise, the current status can be taken from these RoHS.
NR: article according to RoHSdirective not relevant
NK: article not for RoHS compliant applications and developments
Status 1.7.2006 means that these components comply with the EU directive with version 01.07.2006. The EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS), which came into force on 1 July 2006, prohibits the marketing of products containing the metals lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and hexavalent chromium (Cr-VI) as well as the organic (halogenated) flame retardants polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE).
Status 1.7.2008 means that these components comply with the EU directive with version 01.07.2008. With the version from 01.07.2008 no decabromodiphenyl ether (Deca-BDE) may be contained.
Status 8.6.2011 means that these components comply with the EU directive with version 08.06.2011. The new RoHS II Directive (Directive 2011/65/EU) became effective on January 3, 2013 and replaces RoHS I (Directive 2002/95/EC). The RoHS revised version was published on July 1, 2011. RoHS II contains several changes for manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). So far there are no new substance restrictions compared to 2002/95/EC. The exceptions have also been retained.
The new RoHS III Directive (2015/863/EU) of 31 March 2015 contains amendments mainly for the placing on the market of products containing the metals lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and hexavalent chromium (Cr-VI) as well as the organic flame retardants from Directive 2011/65/EU. New additions are plasticizers Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP). The ban on placing on the market of products containing the above plasticizers will apply from 22 July 2019. For the time being, the exemption for medical products is limited to 22 July 2021.
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals)
According to Art. 3 of the Reach Regulation 1907/2006, Bürklin GmbH & Co. KG is to be classified as a dealer. A trader is someone who only stores substances and preparations in the EU and places them on the market without carrying out changes or work in the form of repackaging.
Obligation to pass on information
Forwarding information in the supply chain is our only obligation under REACH. We are committed to assisting you with your information obligations under Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH). It may be necessary to prove at a later stage that information has been requested or passed on within the supply chain. In order to fulfill the REACH requirements (Article 36, retention obligation 10 years) also in this case, we can only receive and answer your requests by fax, in written or electronic form.
Labeling of SVHC
Articles containing substances of very high concern (SVHC) according to the manufacturer are shown in our invoices with the name of the substance, the concentration, the EC No. and the CAS No.. In our webshop the articles are marked without any doubt (see page legend). SVHC means that this component (article) contains substances of very high concern.
According to Article 33 of the REACH Regulation, each supplier is obliged to provide sufficient information on the occurrence of SVHC from the REACH Candidate List in a concentration greater than 0.1 mass percent (w/w) to enable the safe use of articles to the purchasers of articles. Our manufacturers and suppliers have informed us that the articles listed below contain substances of very high concern.
