Statement on Compliance with the REACH, Regulation No 1907/2006

(Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals):

Please note that while REACH entered into force on 1st June 2007, the first REACH deadline which determines compliance was 1st December 2008.

Under REACH, companies operating in the EU may face certain obligations as manufacturers, importers and/or downstream users

These obligations are staggered and become effective in stages; this means that different deadlines apply over the next ten (10) years.

1st June to 1st Dec 2008 - This was the pre registration period for existing substances manufactured or imported into the EU at 1 tonne per annum or more
1st Dec 2010 - registration complete for substances of 1000 or more tones per annum or substances of very high concern greater than 1 tonne per annum
1st June 2013 - registration complete for substances of 100 or more tones per annum
1st June 2018 - registration complete for substances of 1 or more tones per annum

The first REACH deadline and, hence, the first compliance requirement for pre-registration of substances, was the 1st December 2008. This pre-registration phase has now closed and Brother, and parties working on behalf of Brother, have completed the necessary pre-registrations.

We are aware that Article 33 of REACH requires suppliers to inform the recipients and consumers if an article received contains more than 0.1% (by weight per article) any substance(s) on the SVHC candidate list.

The substances below may be contained within the Brother products listed above the threshold level of 0.1% w/w.

Power Cord and / or Cables

All Printers, All in One printers, Fax machines, P Touch products, QL Products,

Sewing and Embroidery products, Typewriters and Stamp Creator

Substance Name

Bis (2-ethyl(hexyl)phthalate) (DEHP) CAS No. 117-81-7 (EU No. 204-211-0)

Safe Use Instructions

It is important to keep the power cord out of the reach of children.

We will continue to monitor the status of the candidate list as part of our on-going compliance activities.

Brother UK intends to fulfil all of the registration requirements of the REACH Regulation at the appropriate time.

As new developments occur, we will update this statement.
