REACH Compliance

In June 2007 the EU System on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restrictions of Chemicals (REACH) entered into force. This new legislation substantially rewrites the current EU chemicals policy and introduces new legal obligations for all industries. Not only chemical producers but also downstream users of chemicals and producers of finished products are heavily impacted. Amphenol TCS products are categorized as Articles. Companies importing products to the EU market will have to comply with the same strict requirements as the EU companies. Registration or authorisation is a precondition to access the EU market. Ability to provide REACH compliant products will be decisive for choosing a supplier. Amphenol TCS is in a position to be able to provide parts that are REACH compliant at this time. We have a robust process in place to monitor our downstream users with every new list of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) that are published.
