GRUNDFOS Holding A/S and its subsidiaries are aware of their responsibilities and are committed not to use
hazardous substances in their products.
We have introduced our Restricted Substance List - the Grundfos Focus List - as the backbone in our product
chemical compliance work.
All our suppliers are contractually obliged to comply with the Focus List - no matter the placing of the goods.
To improve the compliance work and to improve the quality process linked to this work, we have also implemented a

customers in this regard.
The digital platform supports our ISO Management System and secures a robust process with a solid quality
performance. All our suppliers are also contractually obliged to sign up to the system and provide compliance data

Statement regarding compliance of HVAC OEM pumps with WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU
GRUNDFOS Holding A/S and its subsidiaries does not mark HVAC OEM pumps with the symbol for marking of
electrical and electronic equipment (EEE).
Grundfos HVAC OEM pumps are delivered to OEM customers exclusively as components for integration into heating
and cooling units (e.g. boilers) to be used to manufacture the final equipment.
As Grundfos HVAC OEM pumps are designed and placed on the market as a component to be integrated into other
EEE, the manufacturer of the full/combined product will be responsible for marking, any weight declaring, and
takeback obligations for the full combined EEE under directive 2012/19/EU.
Any WEEE obligations will depend on the OEM customer's use of the component. It is the responsibility of the OEM
customer to assess whether the use of the component is within the scope of directive 2012/19/EU and if this
equipment may or may not be affected by WEEE regulation and it is the responsibility of the OEM to report these
volumes if affected.
