LINAK is committed to providing our customers with products meeting a high standard of innovation, performance and environmental safety. This high standard of compliance is also set as a requirement for our suppliers. Achieving this target requires the ability to quickly adapt to the following environmental regulations, directives, and conventions: REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals) (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006) RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) (Directive 2011/65/EU) WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) (2002/96/EC) Battery Directive (2006/66/EC) California Proposition 65 (Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) MDR (Medical Device Regulation) POP (Persistent Organic Pollutants) ((EU) No 1342/2014) Minamata Convention on Mercury LVD (The Low Voltage Directive) (2014/35/EU) EMC (The Electromagnetic Compatibility) (Directive 2014/30/EU) IECEx / ATEX (2014/34/EU) Packaging and packaging waste directive Miscellaneous declarations (Assembly instruction, DoC) REACH The Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals regulation is a European regulation on chemicals. LINAK supports the objectives of the REACH (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006) and complies with the following regulations: Candidate List of SVHCs REACH Annex XIV – Authorisation list REACH Annex XVII – Restriction List The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) added Lead on the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC), on 27 June 2018. (www.echa.europa.eu/web/guest/candidate-list-table). A part of the LINAK product range is affected by this inclusion, meaning that Lead is contained in some products with a concentration above 0.1% (w/w). Where reasonably technically possible, LINAK aims to substitute Lead in our products. Read more about the REACH statement of LINAK, here. RoHS Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) is a European directive (Directive 2011/65/EU) that restricts the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. At LINAK, we are continuously monitoring new coming regulations in the EU RoHS directive. All LINAK products are RoHS compliant at all times. Read more about the current valid RoHS statement of LINAK, here. WEEE The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directive (2002/96/EC) applies to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). As a component and system supplier, LINAK is not directly subject to the WEEE directive. LINAK products are, however, in many cases the only EEE products in the application. As a result, we have decided to mark all LINAK actuator systems with the mandatory WEEE logo. WEEE logo Battery Directive The Battery Directive (2006/66/EC) establishes rules regarding placing batteries, accumulators, and waste batteries on the market containing hazardous substances. It also establishes specific rules for the collection, treatment, recycling and discarding of waste batteries and accumulators. LINAK complies with and meets all obligations related to this directive, including marking batteries with crossed-out wheelie-bin and chemical signs: Pb (lead), Cd (cadmium) and/or Hg (mercury) – according to which chemical that exists in which battery, above threshold. Proposition 65 Proposition 65 (Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) is a Californian law that requires businesses to notify Californians about significant chemicals that cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. Through analysis of item specifications, internal and external data gathering, LINAK has identified a number of products that currently require a warning label to be applied when shipping to California. Read more about the Proposition 65 statement of LINAK, here. Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) The MDR entered into force on 25 May 2017 and will apply as of 26 May 2020. LINAK products are not classified as medical electrical equipment or systems, nor do they fall within the scope of the EU Medical Device Directive/Regulation or other similar national regulations. The products are components to be built into a piece of medical electrical equipment by a manufacturer. However, we acknowledge the need for medical device manufacturers to be informed about substance content. The MDR requires the manufacturer of medical devices to state whether the medical device contains Latex or not. Regarding Latex, we can inform, to the best of our knowledge, that none of our MEDLINE products contain this substance. As this is an ongoing process, we will inform about progress in a timely manner. POP POPs (Commission Regulation (EU) No 1342/2014 on Persistent Organic Pollutants/Stockholm Convention, is a list of chemical substances posing a risk of causing adverse effects to human health and the environment. LINAK complies with the chemical substances listed in the POP regulation. Minamata Convention on Mercury LINAK is subject to The Minamata Convention on Mercury, as signed by Denmark on 10 October 2013 and approved on 18 May 2017. Therefore, LINAK complies with this convention that aims to protect human health and the environment from releases of mercury and mercury compounds. LVD The Low Voltage Directive (LVD) (2014/35/EU) ensures that electrical equipment within certain voltage limits provides a high level of protection for European citizens. It has been applicable since 20 April 2016. LINAK is impacted by and therefore complies with the LVD directive. EMC The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) (Directive 2014/30/EU) ensures that electrical and electronic equipment does not generate, or is not affected by, electromagnetic disturbance. LINAK is impacted by and therefore complies with the EMC directive. IECEx / ATEX ATEX is an EU directive (2014/34/EU) governed by the EU, while IECEx is a leading standard, both of which concern requirements for equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. LINAK actuators for the explosion-protected (Ex) industry complies with the IECEx standard and ATEX directive. Packaging and packaging waste directive LINAK declare that our basic packaging method is cardboard boxes on disposable pallets, heat treated according to IPPC standard ISPM No. 15, comply with the Packaging and packaging waste directives 2018/852, 2004/12/EC and the amending 94/62/EC. See statement in QA-16-09-008. Misc. Declarations See the Assembly instruction / Declaration of Incorporation here. Declarations of Conformity are available on request, please contact your local LINAK sales representative. How LINAK ensures Component Compliance LINAK makes all reasonable efforts to ensure appropriate and timely handling of updates in the directive and regulations. Responsibilities and appropriate resources have been assigned to enable us to comply, and LINAK has set up a procedure to handle and ensure chemical compliance. As a part of this procedure, LINAK uses a third-party data management solution to gather information. This information is provided by the suppliers in the form of declarations, which are then uploaded in the mentioned database and monitored by us regularly.
