REACH Statement 2023

The Law on chemicals, REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals), entered into

force on June 2007. The aim of REACH is to improve the protection of human health and the environment through

earlier and more substantial identification procedures of the properties of chemical substances.

The company

Vincotech GmbH

Biberger Straße 93

82008 Unterhaching

hereby declares to be in compliance with the Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and

of the Council of December 18, 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of

Chemicals (REACH).

According to the Article 33 (1) of REACH, the suppliers are obliged to communicate information on substances in

their products. If the substances’ concentration in the referred articles (products) are above 0,1 % weight by

weight (w/w) they have to provide the recipient of the article with sufficient information, to allow safe use of the

article including, as a minimum, the name of that substance.

Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) – Annex XIV

As of June 14, 2023 - http://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table - ECHA (The European Chemicals

Agency) has placed 2 new substances in the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) for

authorization. Any SVHC must not be used, manufactured or imported without the prior authorization of the

ECHA. The Candidate List will be updated and published periodically as more substances are identified as SVHC.

As of today, Vincotech did not identify one component or compound, which does not comply with this Regulation.

Vincotech closely works with its supply base to identify non compliances and to eliminate these in case some

would be found. Concerned customers will then be informed immediately.

Annex XVII Restrictions

Vincotech continue to monitor the ongoing amendments to Annex XVII of REACH. While these

amendments introduced some new restrictions they primarily replaces a number of European Union directives

by consolidating existing restrictions, including those that had been implemented as amendments to

Directive 76/769/EEC. In many cases, Annex XVII restrictions are application specific. We have determined

to that our products are compliant with Annex XVII restrictions. We will continue to monitor the new

additions to Annex XVII and will update our compliance statement as appropriate.
