In June 2007, the European Union Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) entered into force. Teledyne Storm Microwave (TSM) supports in full the directive’s aim at improving the protection of human health and the environment through the better and earlier identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances.

The regulation establishes specific duties and obligations on companies in the European Union (EU) that manufacture or import substances on their own, in preparations, or in articles.

Under the structure of the REACH Regulation, Teledyne Storm Microwave is a supplier of “articles” to our customers. We do not manufacture or supply “substances” or “preparations” and our processes do not involve the “intentional release of substances.” Substances contained in articles must be registered only if they are intended to be released under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use. The substances contained in electronic components are usually not intended to be released, and therefore TSM does not intend to register any substances.
Articles that contain SVHCs above the concentration limit of 0.1 % on an article level, downstream users must be informed about these substances, even if the chemical substance will not be released under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use. Teledyne Storm Microwave does recognize procured electronic sub-components may contain SVHC substances above the applicable threshold (0.1%). Thus, we do require suppliers to disclose this information, so we can provide accurate SVHC declarations to our customers when applicable. Please note that we do not routinely test for these materials.
Any information supplied by Teledyne Storm Microwave in relation to SVHCs is provided “as is” according to information given by the Manufacturers of the articles, without any warranty whatsoever, such as all warranties implied in law, including the warranties of merchantability and suitability for a particular purpose. Use of data is at Customer’s sole risk.
Teledyne Storm Microwave is constantly monitoring the substances of very high concern (SVHC), as defined by REACH with our supplier base. This will be an on-going process since the complete list of SVHCs will be released in stages.
