Dealing with Chemicals: REACH

REACH Umgang Chemikalien ISO Zertifizierung Umwelt
Dealing with chemicals requires care and diligence. The EU Chemicals Regulation REACH obliges companies to meet specific requirements when handling chemicals.
"REACH is based on the principle that manufacturers, importers, and downstream users take responsibility for their chemicals: They must ensure that chemicals they manufacture and market can be safely used," explains the German Environment Agency. The acronym REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals. The regulation governs the registration, evaluation, authorisation, and restriction of chemicals.
For UTAX, this means that our machines, at the time of their production, comply with the applicable requirements of the REACH regulation. Based on the information available to us, we review and consider the substances and preparations relevant to our products as well as the resulting requirements.

RoHS: Restriction of Certain Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment

We comply with the applicable restrictions on certain substances in our devices. For years, we have been implementing the relevant requirements for the devices we place on the market.
Thus, the respective devices meet the requirements of the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU or its German implementation. RoHS compliance is documented as part of our conformity assessment; the CE marking indicates compliance with relevant EU requirements.

Toner: Matched to Our Devices

All toner types are tailored to the specific requirements of our devices. The respective product-specific safety and application instructions apply for proper use.
The safety-related properties of our original toners are assessed within the scope of appropriate testing procedures. This includes, among others, the so-called AMES test method, which examines whether substances exhibit mutagenic properties under the respective test conditions. The results of the relevant tests are documented in the corresponding safety data sheets.

Please observe the information in the respective safety data sheet when using and disposing of toner.
