Criterion text

At the start of the [framework agreement/contract], the supplier shall declare the presence of any substances included in the REACH Regulation Candidate List (Article 59 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) in concentrations over 0.1 percent by weight (1,000 mg/kg) for each substance in the supplied equipment. 0,1 percent by weight applies to each individual component of a product.1

If new substances are added to the list during the period of the [framework agreement/contract] and can be found in the procured products, the supplier is responsible to inform the procuring organization in writing regarding the change. The supplier shall upon request also present an action plan for how the substance can be phased out.

1Percent by weight applies to each individual part of a composite product and thus means, not 0.1% of a composite product, but 0.1% of each constituent component thereof. 
For further information, see the Swedish Chemicals Agency website.

Verification

By submitting its tender, the supplier accepts that this special contract term shall be fulfilled at the specified time. 

Proposed follow-up

Spot check technical documentation from manufacturers and material suppliers. If necessary, analytical testing can be carried out.

Analysis report
Follow up the special contract term by requesting analysis reports for spot checked items and confirming that the values shown are below the contract term's threshold limit for any substances on the Candidate List that are present in the equipment. Check that the analyses have also been performed by a laboratory that is accredited for the analytical method used.

Self-declaration verified by an accredited verification body 
If a verified self-declaration is used as verification for the requirement, request the supplier's self-declaration along with documentation showing that the requirement is met. A self-declaration shall be verified by a verification body accredited for the task in accordance with ISO/IEC 17029 or an equivalent standard.
