Product Environmental Compliance
EU REACH
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of Chemicals) (EC 1907/2006) is a
European Union’s regulation on chemicals and their safe use which came into force in June, 2007.
Harmonic supports the basic aim of REACH in improving the protection of human health and
environment through the better and earlier identification of intrinsic properties of chemical
substances. Harmonic products are considered “articles” under REACH; therefore, we are
required to provide recipients of our products with information on Substance of Very High
Concern (SVHC) present in concentration above 0.1% (w/w).
Substances in our products are not intended to be released under normal or reasonably
foreseeable conditions of use; therefore, the registration requirement in REACH Article 7(1) does
not apply to our products.
For more information, please visit REACH regulation page at official EU website.

China RoHS
China’s regulation on restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances commonly (China
RoHS), is applicable to all Electronic and Information Products (EIPs) and parts sold in China after
March 01, 2007. China RoHS regulation restricts the use of the same six substances as the
European Union’s ROHS, but has requirements for product labeling and regulated substance
information disclosure.
Harmonic complies with China RoHS Phase I for labeling and information disclosure requirements
and continues to monitor new developments in China RoHS Phase II towards substance restriction
and certification program.
