I have sold a few parts to a company in California and now they are requesting certifications for the EU:
I'm acquiring REACH (191 SVHC) and RoHS3 (2015/863) certificates on behalf of "company name"
The fellow sent me this when I asked what kind of certificates:
On the certifications:
REACH - Understanding REACH - ECHA
RoHS - Electrical and electronic waste - Environment - European Commission
I am a small shop with just a couple of employees with customers asking for Dodd-Frank conflict mineral certs required by US companies, now US customers are asking for EU certifications for products sold in this country?!?! Seems like the goal here is to eliminate small businesses.
I sent him this email, I do not know if it will pass for a certificate or he will email me an actual form.
Hello Tom,
I searched the reach site for info on the form 191 SVHC and nothing was found.
These items are all made from PEEK plastic purchased locally. We use less than 100LBS a year of raw material, after machining total products sold will weigh a few pounds.
Part numbers here
Looking over the REACH info regulation of materials involves the use of more than 1 ton and as far as I can tell PEEK is not a dangerous material.
Our (Part numbers here) use 2024 aluminum, 304 stainless steel, 416 stainless steel, PEEK plastic, and a very small quantity of stainless spring steel. As far as I know none of these are regulated and none are purchased in quantities of any where near 1 ton per year.
XXXX is purchased in weights ounces per year. The material is described as ultra pure rubber containing no bromides, fluoride, chloride, sulphate, sodium or silicon.
Many references were made to the number 863 but none to 2015/863 on the RoHS site.
Perhaps you can supply the forms you need perhaps I can fill them them out if this explanation can is not sufficient.
Best regards,
Fred
Is everyone else dealing with this kind of requirements? How do you do it?
