Nobel Sport Italia Srl confirms awareness of the obligations arising from the REACH regulation (Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006) and hereby declares compliance with applying duties.
The European Regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) defines an article as an object which during production is given a special shape, surface or design that determines its function to a greater degree than its chemical composition. Articles that are assembled or joined together in a new article (complex article) remain articles for REACH purposes. In this context, we regard ammunition supplied by Nobel Sport Italia Srl to be defined as an article.
REACH (Article 33) requires that suppliers of articles which contain a substance included in the so called “Candidate List” in a concentration above 0.1% (weight by weight) provide enough information to allow the safe use of the article to the recipients of the article.
Ammunition contain shots/buckshots/slugs which are articles produced using lead metal [EC 231-100-4] above 0.1% w/w, which was included in the Candidate List on 27/06/2018 as reported by the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) website.
