Today, Grundfos products are not fully covered by the RoHS directives.
The RoHS directives on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
equipment (EEE) will in 2019 apply to all EEE except for the ones explicitly excluded.
Grundfos strives on a voluntary basis to be RoHS-compliant regarding the non-use of certain hazardous substances in
Grundfos products.
All suppliers of raw materials and components to Grundfos Holding A/S and its subsidiaries are under contractual
obligation to comply with the European chemical legislation.
To ensure that Grundfos is compliant, we have taken the following initiatives:
• Grundfos has launched the Grundfos Focus List in order to give our suppliers, contractors and other relevant
stakeholders worldwide a tool to help comply with chemical legislation. The Grundfos Focus List, which bans or
restricts the use of certain chemical substances in Grundfos products, Grundfos production processes and at
Grundfos facilities (www.grundfos.com/focus-list).
• Grundfos has implemented an IT-platform to support the work of securing compliance with the Focus List and a
better supplier collaboration to secure a high data quality and reliability.
• Grundfos continuously performs audits of their suppliers to ensure compliance with their contractual obligation to
comply with the chemical legislation.
• Grundfos does not accept banned or restricted hazardous substances in their products. It is a standard task in
product development projects to ensure that banned or restricted hazardous substances are not used.

Information regarding REACH Candidate List of substances of very high concern for Authorisation
At Grundfos, we run our business in a responsible and ever more sustainable way. We are committed to creating
products and solutions that help our customers and the surrounding world conserve natural resources and reduce
climate impacts.
To give our suppliers, contractors and other relevant stakeholders worldwide a tool to help comply with this, we have
devised the Grundfos Focus List, which bans or restricts the use of certain chemical substances in Grundfos products,
Grundfos production processes and at Grundfos facilities.
The process set-out in Grundfos is to phase out the use of the substances of very high concern (SVHC) from the
REACH Candidate List (www.echa.europa.eu/web/guest/candidate-list-table).
With the recent update of the REACH Candidate List of substances of very high concern for Authorisation as of
27.06.2018 where Lead; CAS No. 7439-92-1 has been added, we are making an exemption from our internal
procedures, since a timely phase out is not possible.
Lead is only used in applications that are declared as exemptions in the EU RoHS Directive and the purpose of the
RoHS Directive is to eliminate risk of harm:
