What does it mean?
Very high substances in a concentration of >0.1% (w/w) which are listed in the candidate list must be eliminated/registered. The EU supplier warrants that the products supplied by him do not contain any substances on the candidate list in accordance with Article 59 (1, 10) of the REACH Regulation. Importers of articles can get information on the substances present in their articles and their concentration from actors up in their supply chain, such as article suppliers outside EU. Chemical products are checked by our service provider 3E after the candidate list has been updated. Würth Group suppliers will be contacted by the Würth Group and asked to replace the substance with another substance. In case a local chemical product is affected, we will contact the appropriate EU-subsidiary.
What is it aimed at?
Substances which are included in a concentration of >0.1% (w/w) have to be registered.
