	REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) Regulation
	REACH entered into force on 1st June 2007, the aim of REACH is to improve the protection of human health and the environment. Under REACH, companies may face certain obligations as manufacturers, importers and/or downstream users of substances. These obligations are staggered and become effective in stages; this means that different deadlines apply until 2018. Under the legislation our products are 'Articles'. We continue to monitor the status of the candidate list of substances of very high concern as part of our on-going compliance activities and communicate information to suppliers and users. Brother will fulfil the requirements of the REACH Regulation at the appropriate time and comply with REACH. For more information please visit www.brother.eu/reach
