*The following is an explanatory article about REACH.

Did you know that there are "chemical substances that require notification" among the materials used in electronic devices?

Conclusion: The REACH regulation is a system for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals in the EU, which requires the management and reporting of target substances.

The REACH regulation is a strict law that requires that products distributed in the EU must "contain safe chemical substances."

In this article, we will introduce an overview of the REACH Regulation and key points for managing content information.

If you want to check the chemical substances contained in plastic parts and additives

The plastics and additives used in electronic components, cables, resin housings, etc. contain many chemical substances.
Under the REACH regulation, if the content of substances of particular concern (SVHC) exceeds 0.1%, information provision and notification becomes mandatory.

What is SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern)?

SVHCs (Substances of Very High Concern) are chemical substances that are known to have the following properties:

• Carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reproductively toxic substances

• Substances that have a long-term persistence in the environment and a high tendency to bioaccumulate

• Any other matter that is deemed to raise equally serious concerns

This SVHC list is regularly updated by the EU's ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) , and as of 2025, more than 240 substances have been registered.

Actions required when SVHC is contained

If your product contains more than 0.1% by weight of an SVHC and you ship it to the EU, you must:

• Obligation to provide information to business partners (safe usage, etc.)

• Obligation to notify ECHA (if the target substance is contained in an amount of 1 ton or more per year)

This requires evaluation not only of finished products but also of individual parts and materials , making information sharing across the entire supply chain essential.

REACH compliance leads to environmental friendliness and increased corporate value

Compliance with REACH not only ensures compliance with the law, but also leads to increased brand value as an environmentally conscious company .

In addition, as a condition for doing business with global companies, you may be required to submit a REACH survey form or a certificate of non-inclusion of SVHC .
