CARSON CITY, NV--(Marketwired - Sep 8, 2014) - As part of Ametherm's commitment to the environment, the company today announced that its entire lineup of inrush current limiters and NTC thermistors conforms to the requirements of the European Union's Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation.
Taking effect in 2007, REACH was adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals, while enhancing the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry. It also promotes alternative methods for the hazard assessment of substances in order to reduce animal testing.
As a REACH-compliant manufacturer, Ametherm's products contain none of the chemicals on the Candidate List of 155 Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC), which was last updated on June 16, 2014, by the European Chemical Agency (ECHA).
