APPENDIX B
B.6

Reach Compliance

Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006
Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)
Michell Instruments is a manufacturer of moisture measurement and gas analysis
instrumentation and is a 'downstream' user of chemicals, as described by the EU Council
Directive 76/769/EEC. The products we supply are not raw chemical products (goods).
Under normal and reasonably foreseeable circumstances of application, the goods
supplied to you shall not contain or release any prohibited chemicals. No listed SVHC
(Substances of Very High Concern) appear within products manufactured by Michell
Instruments. Therefore the 0.1% mass per product, or total usage of 1 tonne/year,
will never be exceeded. For these reasons we are neither required by obligation for
registration nor for the creation of material safety data sheets (MSDS) for our products.
Our continued review of the SVHC Candidate List and latest additions is to ensure we
remain compliant.
Michell Instruments maintains a hazardous material register in which MSDS data sheets
are collated, and we will check that our suppliers will comply to REACH requirements for
all materials and substances we use in the processes of our manufacturing.
In the unlikely event that any chemicals of concern appear in our products in quantities
greater than 0.1% of total mass per product we will immediately inform you by
correspondence according to the REACH Article 33 requirements. Our current appraisal
is, however, that we do not expect or foresee such an incidence.

Calibration Facilities

Michell Instruments' calibration facilities are among the most sophisticated in the world
and have been recognized for their excellence.
Traceability to the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) UK is achieved through our UKAS
Accreditation (Number 0179). This covers dew point over the range -90 to +90°C (-130
to +194°F) and also Relative Humidity.
Dew-point calibrations are also traceable to the National Institute for Standards &
Technology (NIST) USA over the range -75 to +20°C (-103 to +68°F).
NOTE: Standard traceable calibration certificates for instruments and sensors
are not issued under our UKAS accreditation. UKAS certificates are usually to
special order and are clearly identified.
