APPENDIX E
E.6 REACH
Compliance
Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006
Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)
Michell Instruments is a manufacturer of moisture measurement and gas analysis instrumentation
and is a ‘downstream’ user of chemicals, as described by the EU Council Directive 76/769/EEC. The
products we supply are not raw chemical products (goods).
Under normal and reasonably foreseeable circumstances of application, the goods supplied to you
shall not contain or release any prohibited chemicals. No listed SVHC (Substances of Very High
Concern) appear within products manufactured by Michell Instruments. Therefore the 0.1% mass
per product, or total usage of 1 tonne/year, will never be exceeded. For these reasons we are neither
required by obligation for registration nor for the creation of material safety data sheets (MSDS) for
our products.
Our continued review of the SVHC Candidate List and
latest additions is to ensure we remain
compliant.
Michell Instruments maintains a hazardous material register in which MSDS data sheets are collated,
and we will check that our suppliers will comply to REACH requirements for all materials and
substances we use in the processes of our manufacturing.
In the unlikely event that any chemicals of concern appear in our products in quantities greater than
0.1% of total mass per product we will immediately inform you by correspondence according to the
REACH Article 33 requirements. Our current appraisal is, however, that we do not expect or foresee
such an incidence.

E.7 Return
Policy
If a Michell Instruments’ product malfunctions within the warranty period, the following procedure
must be completed:
1. Notify a Michell Instruments’ distributor, giving full details of the problem, the
model variant and the serial number of the product.
2. If the nature of the problem indicates the need for factory service then the
instrument should be returned to Michell Instruments, carriage prepaid, preferably
in the original packaging, with a full description of the fault and the customer
contact information.
3.
Upon receipt, Michell Instruments will evaluate the product to determine the cause
of the malfunction. Then, one of the following courses of action will be taken:
•
If the fault is covered under the terms of the warranty, the
instrument will be repaired at no cost to the owner and returned.
•
If Michell Instruments determines that the fault is not covered
under the terms of the warranty, or if the warranty has expired,
an estimate for the cost of the repairs, at standard rates, will be
provided. Upon receipt of the owner’s approval to proceed, the
product will be repaired and returned.
