REACH COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation (EC No. 1907/2006).
The European Union’s REACH Directive (EC 1907/2006) is designed to regulate the Registration, Evaluation,
Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical Substances. REACH legislation was finalised in December 2006 and has
been in effect since June 2007.
SUEX s.r.l. hereby confirms that all products manufactured address the European Union Regulation (EC) 1907/2006
with the company’s role being that of an ‘article producer’ and its manufactured products being considered as ‘articles’
defined under REACH regulation Article 3.
SUEX has contacted its supplies and confirms that to the best of its knowledge and belief all necessary registration
of any in-scope substances on the REACH SVHC Candidate List[1 have been undertaken by them.
Registration is required for companies that either produce or import into the EU any substance in volumes that exceed
one tonne per substance per year. SUEX does exceed these amounts and is not required to register.
SVHC materials Lead (CAS No 7439-92-1) is used in the manufacture of ballast elements in concentration levels
greater than the specified limit of 0.1% (weight by weight). Ballast elements using these substances are encased
and are considered out of the scope of the restriction due to non-mouthability/non.reachability under normal or
reasonably foreseeable condition of use as defined by the REACH regulation and existing guidance.
Articles that contain these substances in greater than 0.1% concentrations are RoHS compliant using exemptions
from RoHS regulations under Annex IV, items 13 of the directive, which specifies:
Lead in counterweights
SUEX should be contacted if further SVHC information for purchased products is required.

ROHS AND WEEE CONFORMITY
32.1. ROHS COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
The Directive 2011/65/EU on the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS 2, with RoHS 3
amendment 2015/863 ), replacing Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS 1), targets Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE)
in order to avoid adverse impacts on human health and the environment.
SUEX s.r.l. hereby certifies that all products manufactured are compliant with the requirements of the RoHS directive
“2011/65/EC”, and subsequent amendment “2015/863”, being free of the following materials:
Lead (Pb)
Mercury (Hg)
Cadmium (Cd)
Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+)
Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)
Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP)
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP)
Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)
32.2. WEEE COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
The European Union Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) was implemented in the Member
States during 2006.
SUEX s.r.l. hereby certifies that, as a manufacturer of qualified electrical and electronic equipment since 2006, all
qualified products are subject to the WEEE Directive, with these products marked with the WEEE symbol ("crossed-
out wheeled bin") in accordance with European standard EN 50419.
The specialist nature of the company's products classifies them as "non-domestic goods" and as such SUEX s.r.l.
will finance and organize the recycling of the products returned to us, ensuring that the waste deriving from these
products is properly recycled.
Customers are offered the opportunity to return the products at the end of their functional life with delivery costs to
be paid by the sender. Products returned to SUEX s.r.l. must comply with the normal product return policy, with the
pre-authorization required in the form of an RMA number without which the product will not be accepted.
It should therefore be noted that:
Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) cannot be treated as household waste but separate collection
should be done separately.
Consult the regulations in force for the correct disposal of WEEE.
Electrical and electronic equipment could have potential dangerous effects on the environment and on health due to
the presence of dangerous substances.
The WEEE symbol is present on each device and consists of a crossed-out bin - as in the figure - with a horizontal
bar that identifies the electrical and electronic equipment put on the market after 13 August 2005.
