The Electronic Devices Law - ElektroG obliges manufacturers, importers and initial distributors to ensure an environmentally sustainable disposal of those goods quantities they have put into circulation.
For this, companies must apply for a registration number at the competent authority (EAR) which then has to be included on all business documents.
We would like to inform you that INTOS ELECTRONIC AG has registered for all goods we import and which fall within the range of Electronic Devices Law - ElektroG at Stiftung für Elektro-Altgeräte (ear).
INTOS ELECTRONIC AG registration no.: DE 59131158

General Client Information on REACH
(Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals)
The European chemicals regulation REACH has applied immediately in all EU member states on January 1st, 2007 and became effective on June 1st, 2007.
The introduction of REACH aimed at ensuring high safety standards as regards environmental and health risks inherent in chemicals use throughout Europe. REACH creates an exhaustive chemicals management by registering, evaluating and authorizing chemicals.
Registration and evaluation obligations apply, on the one hand, to manufacturers or importers of chemicals from non-EU countries that put more than one ton of chemicals into circulation per year. On the other hand it applies to manufacturers of non-chemicals products if chemicals are released from these products in commonly existing and reasonably foreseeable conditions, and if the quantity threshold of 1 t/a of all products supplied is exceeded by this manufacturer. Substances of very high concern are also subject to obligatory approval.
All InLine products are produced in compliance with all applicable regulations including REACH. InLine products are products (non-chemical products) within the definition of REACH regulation, and as far as can be seen they are not subject to any registration, evaluation or authorization requirement, since according to our knowledge no chemicals are released in commonly existing and reasonably foreseeable conditions, or the quantity threshold of 1 t/a is not exceeded.
Article 33 of the REACH Regulation requires each supplier of a product to be notified if substances of very high concern (SVHC) in excess of 0,1% (by mass) are present in the article.
We regularly request from our partners within the supply chain that they act in accordance with the REACH regulation and fulfill all requirements and information requirements product-related. The requirement for an unsolicited transmission of REACH-relevant information along the supply chain was pointed out. We have not received any reports from our suppliers that substances of concern are present in products. We will comply with our information obligation product-related immediately if a product contains substances of concern over 0.1% (mass percentage). Updates to the candidate list of substances of concern will be considered and communicated to our suppliers for confirmation of conformity.
General information about conflict materials
The Dodd-Frank Act applies in particular to tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold and their derivatives, mined in conflict areas, such as the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighbouring countries. Furthermore, it aims, among other things, to restrict or prevent trade in these substances originating from these conflict areas.
Although INTOS ELECTRONIC AG is not subject to the reporting obligations of the Dodd-Frank-Act, we are aware of the importance and significance of this regulation. We treat the topic of "conflict minerals" with great care and, as far as possible, ensure that no material is procured from conflict countries which directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups.
We also comply with Regulation ((EU) 2017/821) laying down obligations to exercise due diligence in the supply chain, as amended.
We take our social responsibility for the environment, safety, health and human rights seriously and understand that our conduct in business has an impact on society and the environment.
As a medium-sized company, we work, within the bounds of our possibilities, together with our suppliers to create the necessary transparency of the supply chains, which allows us to provide our customers with reliable information. At the present time we have no information that conflict minerals are used in our supply chains.
Should our investigations reveal indications of the presence of conflict minerals in supplier parts, we undertake to take appropriate action.
