HOME Eco PRoducts REACH Compliance Activities

REACH Compliance Activities

Preparations to respond to REACH, the new EU regulation which entered into force in June 2007, are also under way at Samsung Techwin.
In doing so, we coupled internal measures with efforts to help improve our suppliers' ability to respond to the regulation, for instance, by offering them training and education, to enable them to fully understand the details of requirements.

EU REACH

  1. 1Regulation
    REACH(Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of CHemicals)

EU REACH, step.1

Samsung Techwin Co. Ltd (STW) is committed to meeting our legal obligations under RECH about main products and we are working with our suppliers to enable this.

The two key requirements which are currently effective

    The limited number of articles affected are listed here. In addition, consumers can use the Contact Us form to submit queries relating to REACH or SVHC.
    The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) published the first edition of the candidate list in October 2008.
    (※ SVHC : Substance very high concern)

  2. 2 Pre-registration of Substances (on their own, in preparations, in articles)

    The compliance period for pre-registration of substances runs from 1st June 2008 to 30th November 2008. Samsung Techwin will ensure our suppliers fulfill pre-registration requirements for relevant substances via the Only Representative model.
