REACH SVHC – RoHS – SCIP
At Tykoflex AB, we take pride in our commitment to environmental sustainability and compliance with regulations like REACH SVHC and RoHS. In 2023, we embarked on a significant campaign to gather data regarding these critical regulations. Our efforts resulted in best-in-class results, with ROHS Response Rates reaching 89.25% and REACH Response Rates at 85.75%.
Our approach to compliance isn’t just about meeting legal requirements; it’s about ensuring the best practices are consistently met. This includes ensuring the data we upload is clean, accurate, and complete, and maintaining strong partnerships and accountability throughout our supply chain. Continuous collaboration with all stakeholders, including engaging and managing supplier expectations, is key to our success.
Tykoflex’s success in its REACH and ROHS program is not just a product of rigorous data collection but a testament to Tykoflex’s approach towards ensuring sustainability and compliance. / Guillaume Meier, program manager at Assent
We believe that our success in the REACH and ROHS program goes beyond meticulous data collection. It’s a testament to our overall approach towards sustainability and compliance. We understand that this is crucial not just for us, but for the entire industry, and we’re committed to maintaining these high standards. Our efforts reinforce our reputation as an industry leader in environmental stewardship and responsible business practices.
REACH
In June 2007, the European Union Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) was first released.
As of 14th, June 2023 the list contains 235 Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs).
- Under the structure of the REACH Regulation, Tykoflex is a manufacturer and supplier of “articles”. We do not manufacture, or supply “substances” or “preparations” and our articles do not involve the “intentional release of substances”. Accordingly, we foresee no registration or pre-registration requirement for the products we supply to you.
- Tykoflex is constantly monitoring the substances of very high concern (SVHCs), as defined by REACH, in our products. This will be an on-going process since the complete list of SVHCs will be released in stages.
- Articles containing SVHC can be found on the Tykoflex REACH SVHC 2023 excel-file.
