ROHS, REACH and Conflict minerals
ROHS - Restriction on Hazardous Substances Directive (2015/863/EU)
The RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) and its subsequent amendment (2015/863/EU) restricts
the use of dangerous substances lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium,polybrominated biphenyls-PBB or polybrominated diphenyl ethers-PBDE, Bis(2-ethylhexyl)
phthalate (DEHP), Butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP), Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), Diisobutyl
phthalate (DIBP) in new electrical and electronic equipment, placed on the market from 1July 2006, so as to contribute to protecting the environment and human health andpreventing the generation of hazardous waste.
This Directive does not apply to spare parts for repair or reuse of electrical and electronicequipment placed on the market before 1 July 2006.
Datalogic has reviewed its internal purchasing, designing and manufacturing processes inorder to ensure, through contracts with suppliers setting requirements, technicaldocumentation and process control, that non-compliant materials do not enter themanufacturing process.
Datalogic ensures that it sells on the European Union market only products that complywith the requirements of the 2011/65/EU Directive concerning Restriction of the Use ofcertain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) and relevant
and applicable law.
REACH - Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals(1907/2006/EC)
The EU chemicals policy REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction ofChemicals) came into effect on June 1, 2007. REACH aims to improve protection of humanhealth and the environment from the risks arising from the use of chemical substances.
REACH is intended to make manufacturers and importers responsible for understanding
and managing the risks associated with the use of certain chemical substances throughout
their life cycle. Chemicals and products that do not meet these requirements cannot besold in the EU, unless specifically exempt.
The initial stage of REACH requires registration of a substance on its own, or in an article,
totaling more than 1 ton per producer, per importer, per year and the substance isintended to be released under normal conditions of use. Datalogic's products are notdesigned to intentionally release a chemical or a substance into the environment, nor do
we use substances identified in REACH, in excess of one ton per year in their manufacture.
Therefore, Datalogic is not required to register substances to the European Chemical
Agency (ECHA) and is in compliance with the requirement. Additionally, Article 7.2 of
REACH requires notification if a ‘substance of very high concern' (SVHC) is published on aformal list ("candidate list") provided by the ECHA, where the substance is contained within
an article and the substance weighs more than 0.1% (weight on weight of the complete
article). This obligation becomes effective in June 2011 and takes effect six months after
the substance is published on the ECHA candidate list If applicable, Datalogic will take allappropriate steps to comply with this requirement.

The REACH regulation includes several lists of substances of concern. One of these is Annex
XIV, a list of substances that require specific authorization for use. Another is Annex XVII, a listof substances, mixtures and articles with restrictions on manufacture, placing on the marketand use of. These annexes are regularly reviewed, amended, and updated.
Datalogic is committed to maintaining our compliance with the REACH requirements.
Following the official release of the SVHC list on October 28, 2008, and all succeeding
amendments to the SVHC list, we are determining our supplier's usage of SVHCs, if any,
and we will continue to take reasonable actions to maintain and communicate ourcompliance to customers.
Datalogic is fully compliant with SCIP (Substances of Concern In articles as such or incomplex objects (Products)) Database requirements.
SCIP is the database for information on Substances of Concern In articles as such or incomplex objects (Products) established under the Waste Framework Directive (WFD).
This implies that companies supplying articles containing substances of very high concern(SVHCs) on the Candidate List in a concentration above 0.1% weight by weight (w/w) on
the EU market have to submit information on these articles to ECHA, as from 5 January
2021. The SCIP database ensures that the information on articles containing Candidate Listsubstances is available throughout the whole lifecycle of products and materials, including
at the waste stage. The information in the database is then made available to wasteoperators and consumers.

Conflict Minerals – Dodd-Frank Act
Currently a large portion of the mines in the DRC are being controlled by armed groups.
These armed groups have been cited for terrorism, murder and forced labor. This forcedlabor is used to work the mines and minerals extracted from these mines are considered
Conflict Minerals. The Conflict Minerals are Gold, Tin, Tungsten and Tantalum. And theproceeds from selling these forced labor minerals fund the armed groups.
To suspend the funding of these armed groups the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform andConsumer Protection Act was passed into law. This law requires that U.S companies thatare on the stock exchange will have to report to the Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC) showing due diligence whether or not their products contain Conflict Minerals or not.
However the task of collecting this information if quite time consuming for both themanufacturer and the suppliers. Hence SEC legislation permits large companies that cannot
currently provide information on the presence or origin of Conflict Minerals can report
Conflict Mineral Undeterminable for 2 years (small companies can report Conflict Mineral
Undeterminable for four years). U.S companies that are on the stock exchange will also berequired to be audited by a third party to validate that companies due diligence.
Though Datalogic is not openly traded on the stock exchange and is not required by theFrank-Dodd
Act, Datalogic policy in no way supports terrorism or the acts of violence being perpetrated
by armed groups in the DRC. For this reason Datalogic has begun a diligent effort incontacting all our suppliers and requesting EICC (Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition)
certification and documentation. Currently this documentation is in review and until
further notice all products are DRC Conflict Mineral Undeterminable.
