REACH – Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals

The first phase of REACH was a pre-registration of chemical substances at the European Chemical Authority (ECHA). Pre-registration meant that manufacturers of chemical substances could take advantage of the benefits which was connected with the transition regulation. Now the registration phase is ongoing. Our suppliers have registered substances contained in our products.

FUCHS LUBRICANTS SWEDEN AB, there the blending plant in the Nordic countries is located, is a downstream blender and does not manufacture any chemical components. This means that FUCHS LUBRICANTS SWEDEN AB, do not register any substances/components or products for our Nordic countries (Denmark/Finland/Norway/Sweden).

We have a continuous surveillance of how REACH progresses among our suppliers and will inform our customers if there will be any inconveniences due to REACH.

We intentionally avoid using SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) in our products. The vast majority of our products do not contain any SVHC components or components present on the Candidate list. But if a product contains a SVHC component or a component that is present in the Candidate list, it is declared in the safety data sheet.

NB: Decisions about our product portfolio depends on many various factors, of with REACH is just one.

RoHS

We hereby certify that none of our products contain the substances mentioned in directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS).

National Product Registers

We hereby certify that we follow Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Finnish national legislation regarding product Registration at the national Chemical Authorities.
