About REACH
In June 2007, the European Union Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 concerning theRegistration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)
was first released. Under this Regulation, manufacturers are required togather information on the properties of their chemical substances, which willallow their safe handling, and to register the information to European
Chemicals Agency (ECHA). The aim is to improve the protection of humanhealth and the environment through the better and earlier identification of theintrinsic properties of chemical substances.

About RoHS
RoHS Directive (EU Directive 2002/95/EC ) was issued in 2002, restricted theuse of the six chemicals lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium,as well as flame retardants polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) andpolybrominated dipheny ethers (PBDEs). Under this directive, manufacturers
are required to replace these chemicals in their products with less hazardous
alternatives.

Then RoHS 2.0 (Directive 2011/65/EU) has replaced Directive 2002/95/EC
since January 3, 2013. In 2015, EU commission publishes Directive (EU)2015/863 to amend Annex II to EU RoHS 2 (Directive 2011/65/EU) to add 4phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP and DIBP) onto the list of restricted substancesfrom 22 July 2019.
REACH and RoHS Compliance
Synology meets all requirements of the REACH Regulation and is compliant
to all implemented RoHS type regulations worldwide.
