Important in this context is the distinction between substance, mixture and article.
With our software, which we burn to a raw CD with a color print, being shipped in a common DVD case, which itself is wrapped in a light cardboard packaging, it is neither a substance nor un a mixture, but an article. An article does not require a safety data sheet. We are neither a producer nor importer of the article's REACH relevant components (not that we knew there would be any). 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
