EU REACH
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of Chemicals) (EC 1907/2006) is a
European Union regulation on chemicals and their safe use which came into force in June, 2007.
Harmonic supports the basic aim of REACH in improving the protection of human health and environment
through the better and earlier identification of intrinsic properties of chemical substances. Harmonic
products are considered "articles" under REACH; therefore, we are required to provide recipients of our
products with information on Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) present in concentration above
0.1% (w/w).
Substances in our products are not intended to be released under normal or reasonably foreseeable
conditions of use; therefore, the registration requirement in REACH Article 7(1) does not apply to our
products.
For more information, please visit the REACH regulation page at official EU website.

China RoHS
Review China's Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive.
China's regulation on restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances commonly (China RoHS), is
applicable to all Electronic and Information Products (EIPs) and parts sold in China after March 01, 2007.
China RoHS regulation restricts the use of the same six substances as the European Union’s ROHS, but
has requirements for product labeling and regulated substance information disclosure.
Harmonic complies with China RoHS Phase I for labeling and information disclosure requirements and
continues to monitor new developments in China RoHS Phase II towards substance restriction and
certification program.
For more information, visit the China RoHS regulation page at the official US export website.
