XMOS REACH Position Statement

REACH Position Statement

Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)
REACH is a new European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use (EC
1907/2006). It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of
Chemical substances. The law entered into force on 1 June 2007. The aim of REACH is to
improve the protection of human health and the environment through the better and earlier
identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances. More information may be
found at http://ec.europa.eu/environment/chemicals/reach/reach_intro.htm.

XMOS is a supplier of "articles" as defined in REACH. The "substances" contained in these
articles are not intentionally released, nor do the articles contain any of the substances on
the candidate list of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) published on October 28,
2008. While our products do not currently fall within the scope of REACH's registration
requirement, we continue to monitor the EU regulation for changes that may require our
attention.

For informational purposes, XMOS has contacted its material and manufacturing vendors
and verified that XMOS devices do not contain SVHCs.
