Declarations of conformity
[SL:conformities-dpv]
Declarations of conformity
Declarations of conformity are documents issued by manufacturers or suppliers to confirm compliance with certain legal and regulatory requirements. These declarations are necessary to ensure that the products supplied comply with the applicable safety and quality standards and can be safely placed on the market.
DPV Elektronik-Service GmbH strives to provide you with up-to-date and accurate information regarding the compliance of the products supplied to you with certain legal, technical or normative requirements.
Below you will find all valid and fulfilled compliances.
REACH Regulation
DPV Elektronik-Service GmbH deals with products that are “Articles“ as defined by the REACH regulation. Towards our customers we are therefore subject to the information obligation according to art. 33 of the REACH regulation, providing that a product we delivered contains a substance of very high concern (SVHC) in a concentration of more than 0.1 percent.
The latest list of the SVHCs with the different substances is published on the website of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) at http://echa.europa.eu.
In our own interest and in order to ensure a high level of delivery and product safety, we take our information obligation very seriously. From today’s perspective and based on the information received from our suppliers, it is unlikely that our products contain SVHCs in a concentration of more than 0.1 percent.
RoHS Conformity
On 3 January 2013, Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Union on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment entered into force. Delegated Directive 2015/863/EU added 4 substances to the list.
Based on our knowledge and information from our upstream suppliers, we confirm that our products and components do not contain any of the following homogeneous materials above the specified limit or are compliant.
Declaration of Conformity China RoHS
China RoHS is a collection of environmental protection laws that applies to electronic and electrical products and components. Like the European RoHS Directive, China RoHS also addresses the use of substances such as mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium and two brominated flame retardants: PBB (polybrominated biphenyls) and PBDE (polybrominated diphenyl ethers).
We hereby confirm that, based on our state of knowledge and the information received from our upstream suppliers, the homogeneous materials the products and components consist of, do not contain more than the following concentrations of these substances.
TSCA Conformity
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which is considered the counterpart of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), set the final rules of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 6 (h) on January 6, 2021. These enacted regulations to reduce exposure to the PBT chemicals listed on the TSCA list, which came into effect in March 2021.
Based on our current state of knowledge and the information provided by our upstream suppliers, we hereby confirm that the products supplied by us do not contain any substances from the TSCA list.
POP Conformity
Persistent organic pollutants are compounds that remain in the environment for a long time when released, accumulate through the food chain, can be transported over long distances in the environment, and can cause long-term damage to human health and the environment.
Based on our knowledge and information from our upstream suppliers, we hereby confirm that the products supplied by us do not contain any substances in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 2019/1021 (POPs Regulation).
Customer information PFAS
At the beginning of 2023, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) published its restriction proposal for a Europe-wide restriction on the production, use and marketing of PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated chemicals).
The six-month public consultation began in March 2023. During this period, interested parties were able to submit additional information to justify, for example, the inclusion of further exceptions in the restriction proposal. ECHA's scientific committees will take this information into account and evaluate it when preparing their opinion. A decision by the European Commission on this proposal is expected in 2025.
It is currently unclear to what extent there will be an actual restriction or even a ban on PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated chemicals). As this is currently only a proposal, there is no obligation for manufacturers to confirm the presence or absence of PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated chemicals) unless otherwise regulated. Accordingly, absence confirmations from manufacturers or suppliers are not available for all raw materials at this time
Therefore, pending the final, legally binding decision on the published proposal, we confirm compliance with the restrictions under the REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 and the regulations implementing the Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
Of course, we take our responsibility seriously and assure you that we comply with legal obligations and will inform our customers if products from our supply portfolios lose their legal compliance due to future legislation. However, we will only be able to do this once it has been transposed into applicable law and appropriate communication within the supply chain is required.
