Reach Statement; Restriction Of The Use Of Hazardous Substances (Rohs) - Multitech MultiModem iCell User Manual

REACH Statement
Registration of Substances:
After careful review of the legislation and specifically the definition of an "article" as defined in EC Regulation
1907/2006, Title II, Chapter 1, Article 7.1(a)(b), it is our current view Multi‐Tech Systems, Inc. products would be
considered as "articles". In light of the definition in § 7.1(b) which requires registration of an article only if it
contains a regulated substance that "is intended to be released under normal or reasonable foreseeable
conditions of use," our analysis is that Multi‐Tech Systems, Inc. products constitute nonregisterable articles for
their intended and anticipated use.

these substances and certify the Multi‐Tech Systems, Inc. products are compliant per the EU "REACH"
requirements of less than 0.1% (w/w) for each substance. If new SVHC candidates are published by the European
Chemicals Agency, and relevant substances have been confirmed, that exceeds greater than 0.1% (w/w), Multi‐
Tech Systems, Inc. will provide updated compliance status.

1 Lead usage in some components is exempted by the following RoHS annex, therefore higher lead concentration
would be found in some modules (>1000 PPM);
–Resistors containing lead in a glass or ceramic matrix compound.
