The REACH regulation was entered into force on 1st June 2007. Regarding human health and the environment, the target is to manufacture and use safe substances only inside the EU.

All substances and preparation manufactured or imported for more than 1 ton/year will have to be tested and analysed for risk.

The conformity to REACH regulation is phased with different deadlines until 2018.

The Hager Group designs, manufactures and sells electro technical products. In normal applications these products will not intentionally release any substances. Our production units do not manufacture or import substances concerned by REACH.

Considering the terms of the regulation Hager manufactures “articles” and is “downstream-user”.

Hager hasn’t to register substances and hasn’t to establish safety data sheets. We will check that our suppliers will comply with REACH requirements for all materials and substances we use.

Hager are always committed to supply it's customers with environmental friendly products. Hager will also comply to REACH regulations.

As needed, Hager will provide it's customers with information about the chemicals of “very high concern” used in our products. First analysis results shows that we do not use such substances.
