REACH Compliance Declaration (SVHC 241)

Tensility International Corporation certifies all its products are fully compliant with the requirements of European Union Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).

Under REACH regulations – Article 7, Tensility International Corporation is considered a provider of "articles." All of our products are assemblies/components, not raw materials. None of our products intentionally release substances into the environment.

Except for Note 2, Tensility confirms our products do not contain any substances of very high concern (SVHC) above the specified limit, as updated January 21st, 2021.

Tensility does not manufacture, use, or place on the market any substances, mixtures, and articles restricted under REACH Annex XVII, updated October 17, 2018.

Tensility will continue to monitor the status of the Candidate List as part of our on-going effort of compliance, including the possible need under Article 33 of REACH to inform product recipients and consumers if an article contains more than 0.1% by weight per article of any substance that is added to the SVHC candidate list in the future.

Tensility is committed to making sure all our products comply with RoHS and REACH requirements. If you have any questions about this statement or other compliance related matters, please do not hesitate to contact us at compliance@tensility.com.

Tensility fully supports the effort to eliminate conflict minerals and human rights violations. Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act requires reporting of 4 known conflict minerals and their origins – Gold, Tin, Tungsten, and Tantalum. Tensility has conducted due diligence to ensure products do not contain minerals sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries. The specific smelter information may be found in the following CMRT file:

In support of the effort toward conflict-free minerals, Tensility gathers product data from its suppliers to increase visibility in the supply chain and will accommodate conflict-free reporting to the best of our ability. Please direct all related questions to compliance@tensility.com.
