Overview
This template provides a structured questionnaire through which suppliers can confirm compliance with key European substance and product rules. It combines general requirements with product-group-specific information while protecting trade secrets by generally leaving supporting evidence with the supplier.
Key Takeaways
- Questions addressing the current SVHC Candidate List and REACH Annexes XIV and XVII.
- Confirmation of RoHS limits for lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB/PBDE, and relevant phthalates.
- POP Regulation checks covering PFOA, PFOS, and PFAS-related lubricants, anti-friction agents, and coating systems.
- A documentation matrix for safety data sheets, manufacturer declarations, laboratory reports, coating specifications, and material certificates.
- Additional sections for plastics, metals, lubricants, chemical raw materials, and packaging.
Purpose and Use
The declaration is designed for miscellaneous supplies and different product groups. Suppliers enter their company details and the affected articles, confirm the applicable requirements, and sign the declaration in a legally binding manner. Changes such as new SVHC classifications or altered coating processes must be reported without undue delay.
Evidence Retained by the Supplier
Safety data sheets, manufacturer declarations, laboratory reports, and process specifications are requested in a clear documentation matrix. They generally remain with the supplier and are to be provided promptly only in response to a specific request from an authority. Formulations and other trade secrets remain protected.
Product-Group-Specific Modules
Additional sections cover plastic granules and components, metals, lubricants and chemical raw materials, and packaging. Topics include microplastics, pellet loss, brominated flame retardants, nickel release, conflict minerals, CLP, biocides, MOSH/MOAH, LUCID registration, and heavy-metal limits.
Important Notice
The template was compiled on the basis of the legal situation in force when it was prepared. Substance lists, limits, and regulatory requirements may change. The document does not replace legal review of the individual case.
