The aim of REACH is to further improve the protection of human health and the environment through better and earlier identification of certain chemical substances. All suppliers who want to sell, import or manufacture chemicals and/or products containing chemicals in the European Union have obligations under REACH. One obligation is to notify customers if your products contain any of the substances listed under REACH, which can be found in the lists below. Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) Restriction List, Annex 17 Authorization List, Annex 14 Identification of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) Based on investigations and current knowledge, as well as information from our suppliers regarding REACH article 33, Sonic has identified the below listed SVHC´s of the current version of the candidate list in concentrations above the threshold level of 0.1% (w/w), which may be present in the following Sonic products: Product Type Article Substance CAS no.
