REACH – Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals
The first phase of REACH was a pre-registration of chemical substances. Pre-registration meant that manufacturers of chemical substances could take advantage of the benefits which was connected with the transition regulation. Now the registration phase is ongoing. Our suppliers have registered substances contained in our products. 

FUCHS LUBRICANTS SWEDEN AB is a downstream blender and does not manufacture any chemical components. This means that Fuchs Lubricants, do not register any substances/components or products.

We have a continuous surveillance of how REACH progresses among our suppliers and will inform our customers if there will be any inconveniences due to REACH. 

The vast majority of our products do not contain any SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) components or components present on the Candidate list. 

If a product contains a SVHC component or a component that is present in the Candidate list, it is declared in the safety data sheet. For example a few of our metalworking products do contain boric acid salts. Boric acid is present on the Candidate list. These products are going to phased out.
NB: Decisions about our product portfolio depends on many various factors, of with REACH is just one.

RoHS
We hereby certify that none of our products contain the substances mentioned in directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS)

KEMI
We hereby certify that we follow Swedish national legislation regarding product Registration at the national authority KEMI (Swedish Chemicals Agency).
