REACH
The new EU chemicals policy REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of Chemicals)
came into effect on June 1, 2007. REACH is Europe’s new chemicals legislation, which is applicable in all 27
EU Member States as well as the EFTA European Economic Area (EEA). REACH creates a new system for
gathering information, assessing risks to human health and the environment, and authorizing or
restricting the marketing and use of chemicals produced or supplied in the EEA. REACH has an impact on
EEA producers and importers of finished products and users of chemicals in the course of industrial or
professional activities.
WatchGuard supports the overall REACH objective of improving the protection of human health and the
environment and will meet all applicable REACH requirements. WatchGuard is strongly committed to
working with our customers and supply chain to define and implement the REACH requirements and
ensure a smooth transition to compliance.
One of the REACH requirements is that manufacturers and importers have the duty to register
substances they are producing or importing. In accordance with the regulations, the products of
WatchGuard do not need to be registered for the following reasons:
WatchGuard does not import more than 1 metric ton per year of a substance as defined by REACH.
WatchGuard products are non-chemical products that are not designed to release any substance
under normal and reasonably predictable application.
Our products do not contain the listed substances at more than 0.1% by weight of the whole
product/part.
