REACH is the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use (EC 1907/2006). It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances.
The REACH Regulation became effective in Europe on July 1st, 2007.
Murata has made the necessary preparations to comply with the REACH Regulation.
The REACH Regulation has different requirements for "Chemicals and Preparations" and "Articles". All of the products promoted by this website are articles that do not intentionally discharge any substances and are therefore exempt from the obligation to register the substances [Article 7(1)b].
The identification of a substance as a Substance of Very High Concern, and its inclusion in the Candidate List creates the duty to communicate the name of the products containing SVHC, and the name of the contained SVHC, to users of the products. It does not impose any restrictions on the use of the products, nor is it a substance ban.
* Relevant Article : Article 59 (1, 10) and Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH)
To the present and best of our knowledge, and based upon the information available to us from our suppliers, our current articles offered , except those listed below, do not contain substances of very high concern (SVHC), as identified in the amended Candidate List, above a limit of 0.1 % w/w.
Please refer to the attached List of Murata Part Numbers containing SVHC.
The substances are bound inside the articles and are not released during regular use. Specific precautions in handling are not required. The articles can be disposed of as electronic scrap according to the relevant regulations.
