Reach Certificate Of Compliance - Watchguard AP327X Hardware Manual

REACH Certificate of Compliance

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.
n
WatchGuard products are non-chemical products that are not designed to release any substance under
n
normal and reasonably predictable application.
Our products do not contain the listed substances at more than 0.1% by weight of the whole
n
product/part.
