What is REACH and does Grayline’s tubing contain any SVHC?
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) is a European Union regulation (2006/1907/EC) that requires that chemical substances used or imported into the EU be registered, evaluated and authorized for specific uses. As a manufacturer of “articles”, Grayline is not required to register any substances. The regulation also defines Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC’s) which must be reported to uses. There are currently 15 SVHC substances defined. One of these is the plasticizer DEHP which is used in some of Grayline’s PVC compounds. See Grayline’s REACH policy for more details.
