Statement of Compliance with REACH Standards

Exxelia Ohmcraft

Jan 23, 2024

Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 and

revised to include 240 substances as of 23Jan2024 largely restructured the manner in which the

European Union handles the “Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals”

(REACH).

Many of the resistors developed by Ohmcraft, a division of Exxelia Micropen, are purchased for inclusion

as components in devices affected by this regulation. Therefore, Exxelia Micropen has implemented

specific procedures to ensure that products to which REACH applies conform to REACH regulations.

This is accomplished by a requirement for the suppliers of materials incorporated into the resistors

produced by Ohmcraft to provide documentation of the presence (or lack thereof) of REACH Substances

of Very High Concern (SVHC) and substances “Restricted” by REACH regulations (those found in Annex

XVII of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006). Please note that Ohmcraft does not verify this documentation

through independent analytical testing.

Ohmcraft resistors are considered “Articles” by REACH. Furthermore, there is no intended release of any

substance or preparation from any Ohmcraft resistor. Therefore, by REACH regulations, there are no

requirements for registration associated with Ohmcraft resistors.

To the best of our knowledge, based on information provided by the suppliers of the raw materials used in

the Ohmcraft production process, and, in certain cases, based on the material safety data sheets

corresponding to the raw materials used in the Ohmcraft production process, which may include

incomplete substance content information as a means of protecting proprietary information, all resistors

currently produced by Ohmcraft do not contain any SVHC at a concentration of greater than .1% by

weight in the overall resistor, and do not violate any of the Restrictions listed in Annex XVII of Regulation

(EC) No. 1907/2006 (they do not contain any substance Restricted by a Restriction applicable to resistor

products).
