REACh
Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 sets out provisions for the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals in order to ensure a high level of protection for human health and the environment, including the promotion of alternative methods of assessing hazards posed by substances, and to ensure the free movement of substances in the internal market while improving competitiveness and innovation.
This Regulation lays down provisions on substances and mixtures which apply to manufacturing, placing on the market and use of such substances as such, in mixtures or in articles and for the placing on the market of mixtures. This Regulation is based on the principle that manufacturers, importers and downstream users must ensure that they manufacture, place on the market and use substances which do not adversely affect human health or the environment. Its provisions are based on the precautionary principle.
As a distributor of electronic components, modules and systems, MEV is obliged to pass on information on substances in articles pursuant to Article 33. Accordingly, the purchasers of an article shall at least be informed of the name of the substance as soon as MEV becomes aware that a substance fulfilling the criteria of Article 57 and determined in accordance with Article 59 (1) is present in a concentration of more than 0,1 % weight by weight.
