Bird Technologies Group is committed to meet the requirements of the EC REACH regulations. We do not use any restricted substances identified by the regulations in our manufacturing processes and we are actively working with our suppliers to assure that none of these substances are used or being procured through our supply chain. We strive to ensure that our product line is compliant with the requirements of the REACH regulations. We will continually review that status as more chemical substances are added to the regulations.
REACH is a new European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use (EC 1907/2006). It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical substances. The new 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. At the same time, innovative capability and competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry should be enhanced. The benefits of the REACH system will come gradually, as more and more substances are phased into REACH.
