REACH Compliance Statement
The European REACH Regulation 1907/2006 on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of
Chemicals (REACH), Annex XVII entered into force in June 2009, and affects all companies producing,
importing, using, or placing products on the European market. The aim of the REACH regulation is to
ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment from chemical substances.
Checkpoint Systems’ substances management system follows and complies with the current revision of the
REACH Regulation on the substances as identified by ECHA (European Chemical Agency).
Checkpoint Systems’ products are considered articles as defined in REACH Article 3 (3).
These products/articles under normal and reasonable conditions of use do not have intended release of
substances. Therefore the requirement in REACH Article 7 (1) (b) for registration of substances contained in
these products/articles does not apply.
Checkpoint Systems’ products/articles do not contain Substances of Very High Concern or if there are
SVHC in the product/article, the content is less than the 0.1% (wt/wt) as defined by REACH Article 57,
Annex XIV, Directive 67/548/EEC. Therefore the requirement in REACH Article 7 (2) to notify ECHA if a
product/article contains more than 0.1% wt/wt of an SVHC and tonnage exceeding 1 tonne per importer per
year is not applicable.
Checkpoint Systems’ European operations do not manufacture or import chemicals, therefore Checkpoint
Systems has no obligation to register substances.
