REACH

Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals is a regulation of the European Union, adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals.

We can confirm that our suppliers have certified that the materials we purchase from them to manufacture Adhesa Plate products do not contain the SVHC chemicals on the REACH list in reportable quantities.

RoHS

The RoHS Directive bans the placing on the EU market of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than the agreed levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB and PBDE flame retardants.

Adhesa Plate's labels are compliant per the RoHS EU Directive 2011/65/EC (RoHS2). We can confirm that our suppliers have certified that the materials we purchase from them are RoHS compliant.

We do not conduct material analysis of our raw materials; we rely on the written statements of our material suppliers. None of the materials named in these directives are knowingly used or intentionally added during manufacturing, however trace amounts may be present in the environment.

Even though Adhesa Plate is not a public company, we are pleased to announce that our products do not contain conflict minerals originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo or its adjoining countries. We have written assurances from our suppliers that their materials comply with the Dodd-Frank “Conflict Minerals” law.

Adhesa Plate supports the objectives of this law and will not knowingly source raw materials from suppliers who use conflict minerals.
