11.4 Environmental Compliance
REACH (Restriction, Evaluation, Authorisation & Restriction of
Chemicals)
The Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006
concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) entered into
force on June 1, 2007.
Parker agrees with the purpose of REACH, which, is to ensure a high level of protection of human health
and the environment. Parker is compliant with all applicable requirements of REACH.
The registration requirements do not apply to Parker since it is neither a manufacturer nor an importer of
preparations into Europe. However, product (article) manufacturers or importers into Europe are obligated
under Article 33 of REACH to inform recipients of any articles that contain chemicals on the Substances of
Very High Concern (SVHC) candidate list above a 0.1% concentration (by weight per article).
Parker will continue to monitor the developments of the REACH legislation and will communicate with our
customers according to the requirement above.
