Review the dated source and defined scope for REACH Annex XVII Statement (2021). Request current, project-specific documentation before relying on it for a purchasin. Use this U.S. Nameplate Co. document within its stated date, scope, and conditions. If your supplier-qualification or purchasing process requires current documentation, tell our team which record you need and how it will be used.
The document titled “REACH Certification (Annex XVII)” is a U.S. Nameplate Company statement dated July 9, 2021. It records the company’s conclusion at that point in time and explains that the conclusion relied on supplier certifications or declarations of non-use available when the statement was generated. That date and evidence basis are essential parts of the record.
The letter also uses “Substances of Very High Concern” and “Annex XVII” together in a way that needs clarification. Under current ECHA terminology, Annex XVII is the restrictions list, while the Candidate List separately identifies substances of very high concern for authorization. This page preserves what the 2021 letter says without treating its phrasing as a substitute for a current, substance-specific regulatory review.
The page title is a convenient label; the signed document is the actual evidence. Document code 804-COMP-REACH Rev C is dated July 9, 2021 and signed by U.S. Nameplate Company President Andrew Novetzke. It is a company statement, not a certificate shown as issued by ECHA, the European Union, an accredited registrar, or an independent testing laboratory.
Those are the document’s stated boundaries. The quality standards page can help place supplier documentation in a broader project conversation, but it cannot add technical detail that the July 2021 letter does not contain.
A defensible review starts by naming the regulatory mechanism at issue. “REACH” alone is too broad for a useful part-level question. Annex XVII restrictions and Candidate List status can create different conditions and obligations, so the terms should not be swapped merely because both can involve chemical substances.
ECHA describes Annex XVII as the table of restrictions adopted under REACH. An entry identifies a substance or group and the associated restriction conditions. Those conditions matter: a restriction may concern manufacture, placing on the market, or use, and its application can depend on how a substance appears in a substance, mixture, or article.
ECHA maintains a separate Candidate List of substances of very high concern for authorisation. Inclusion on that list can trigger particular legal obligations. Candidate List status is not simply another name for an Annex XVII restriction, and an Annex XVII entry should not automatically be called an SVHC listing.
For that reason, this page treats “SVHC included in ECHA Annex XVII” as wording from the dated company letter. It does not repeat the phrase as precise current taxonomy. A customer seeking current evidence should identify whether the concern is an Annex XVII entry, Candidate List substance, or another REACH provision.
The 2021 letter is unusually clear about its evidence basis: supplier certifications or declarations of non-use at the time of generation. That tells a reviewer how the company reached the recorded conclusion. It does not say that U.S. Nameplate Co. performed independent chemical analysis on every formulation, batch, component, or finished item.
A supplier declaration can be a useful link in a documentation chain when its scope, date, substance reference, and covered material are clear. It should not be converted into a timeless guarantee. Supplier formulations may change, regulatory lists may change, and a later order may use a different construction. None of those possibilities proves a problem; they explain why a current decision should use current, construction-specific evidence.
This evidence model is also different from the management-system credential summarized on the ISO 9001:2015 certification page. One document should not be used to fill gaps in the other.
“Is this REACH compliant?” leaves too many variables undefined. A stronger request identifies the governing list or entry and the exact construction being evaluated. That gives both parties a shared record rather than a one-word conclusion with an unknown basis.
This sequence is a documentation practice, not legal advice. The customer remains responsible for deciding which REACH duties apply and what evidence is adequate for its product and market.
U.S. Nameplate Co. product pages can help identify what needs to be described. A project might involve metal nameplates, custom durable decals, control panel overlays, rating plates, or warning labels. A material-related conversation may also reference 3M adhesives.
These links do not establish REACH status. They help a customer describe the item whose materials and supplier evidence require review. Even two items in the same product category can have different constructions, so category names should not replace the controlled part record.
Process pages serve the same limited purpose. Screen printing, digital printing, laminating, and die and digital cutting describe production topics. The label sets page addresses coordinated components. None of those pages states a substance inventory or proves satisfaction of an Annex XVII condition.
That boundary prevents a process name from becoming an unsupported materials claim. The relevant evidence must follow the actual inks, films, metals, coatings, adhesives, liners, or other components selected for the project, to the extent those components matter to the customer’s identified requirement.
These absences do not erase the letter’s value as a dated company record. They define the follow-up information needed before using it for a present-day, project-specific conclusion.
A practical file connects the customer requirement to the part revision and the evidence reviewed. Record the document code and date, the applicable regulatory reference, the covered construction, the supplier evidence date, any stated limitations, and the person or process that accepted the package. If the construction or regulatory reference changes, open a new review rather than editing history.
This traceability also makes later questions easier to answer. A reviewer can see whether the July 9, 2021 letter was used as historical background, whether a newer declaration was obtained, and exactly which requirement was evaluated. The company overview may establish organizational context, but the compliance file should remain anchored to the governing evidence.
When contacting U.S. Nameplate Co., provide the part or product family, current drawing revision, complete construction information available to you, and the exact Annex XVII entry or Candidate List requirement your organization is evaluating. Include the date through which evidence must be current and the form of declaration your procedure requires. Use the request consultation form to submit that defined request.
A precise request lets the July 2021 statement play an appropriate role—as a dated, supplier-based company declaration—while leaving current regulatory classification and part-specific conclusions to a current review.
Tell our team which certificate, statement, or supplier document your organization needs, the date or revision required, and the project or qualification process it supports. We will respond using the current information available for that request. Request a Quote.
