Upon the start of the agreement, the supplier must declare presence of the substances included on the current REACH Candidate List, (article 59 of Regulation (EG) no. 1907/2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals), in concentrations exceeding 0.1 percent by weight, (1.000mg/kg), per substance in the offered products. 0.1 percent by weight concerns every individual part of a product.
If new substances are added to the list during the [framework agreement period/contract period] and these substances appear in procured products above the specified limit value, the supplier is responsible for notifying the customer in writing of the change. The supplier must also, on request, be able to present an action plan for how the substance can be phased out.
1Percent by weight applies to each individual part of a composite product and thus means, not 0.1% of a composite product, but 0.1% of each constituent component thereof. For further information, see the Swedish Chemicals Agency website.
