REACH Statement
Registration of Substances:
After careful review of the legislation and specifically the definition of an “article” as defined in EC
Regulation 1907/2006, Title II, Chapter 1, Article 7.1(a)(b), it is our current view Multi-Tech Systems, Inc.
products would be considered as “articles”. In light of the definition in § 7.1(b) which requires
registration of an article only if it contains a regulated substance that “is intended to be released under
normal or reasonable foreseeable conditions of use,” our analysis is that Multi-Tech Systems, Inc.
products constitute nonregisterable articles for their intended and anticipated use.

reviewed these substances and certify the Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. products are compliant per the EU
“REACH” requirements of less than 0.1% (w/w) for each substance. If new SVHC candidates are
published by the European Chemicals Agency, and relevant substances have been confirmed, that
exceeds greater than 0.1% (w/w), Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. will provide updated compliance status.
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. also declares it has been duly diligent in ensuring that the products supplied are
compliant through a formalized process which includes collection and validation of materials

more than 85% lead).
b. Lead in electronic ceramic parts (e.g., piezoelectronic devices).
2. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) – Analysis is based on the components/material used on the
board.
