Important in this context is the distinction between substance, mixture and article.
With our software, which we burn to a printed CD, being shipped in a DVD case, which itself is wrapped in a light cardboard packaging, it is neither a substance nor un a mixture, but an article. With articles no safety data sheet is required. We are neither a producer nor importer of the article's REACH relevant components. The software itself is not a chemical thus not subject to the REACH regulation. The following table gives information, that
we are neither obliged to registration nor to information/notification.
SVHC = Substance of very high concern, (w/w) = percentage of mass, t/a = tons per year
