Information provided in this Regulatory Data Sheet (RDS) does not indicate Dow product availability in all
countries aligned with the below regulations. Please contact Dow to confirm availability of product in
specific countries.
REACH
REACH requires the registration of substances when they are manufactured or imported into the
European Economic Area (EEA) at a volume of one metric ton or more per annum per legal entity. We
hereby confirm that every REACH relevant substance in the composition of the above Dow product(s),
made available on the EEA Market by Dow, has been accordingly covered under REACH, either via own
registration or supplier coverage for the relevant tonnage band, and is therefore compliant with the
REACH regulation (EC) N° 1907/2006 as per the official ECHA list published on the ECHA website
https://echa.europa.eu/information-on-chemicals/registered-substances. The above statement is only
valid for volumes imported into or manufactured within the EEA by Dow and placed on the market within
the EEA. For customers based outside the EEA importing Dow products or products containing Dow
products into the EEA, please note that these imports are not covered under the EEA Dow Legal
Entity(ies) registrations. It is the obligation of the importer to ensure REACH compliance unless an
agreement is in place that allows the importing non-EEA company’s volumes to be covered under the
Dow Only Representative Trustee model, which covers volumes of indirectly imported Dow products
under the existing Dow registrations. The possibility of providing a Dow Only Representative Trustee
coverage needs to be evaluated for each REACH relevant substance. For information on our products
and REACH, visit the Dow REACH page https://reach.dow.com/en-us.
For information on our products and the European Union regulation for Registration, Evaluation,
Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), visit the Dow REACH page

ECHA candidate list are above 0.1% they will appear in Section 15 of the European SDS.
