    REACH statement

    REACH (Registration Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) is a European Union regulation adopted to better protect human health and the environment from the risks that chemicals can pose, while enhancing the competitiveness of the EU chemical industry. It also promotes alternative methods for hazard assessment of substances to reduce animal testing. 

    Henco & REACH: All Henco products are 100% safe for drinking water and heating applications. They have been thoroughly tested and certified by numerous organisations around the world. Nonetheless, the European REACH regulations require that end users are informed should a product contain substances of very high concern (SVHC) that appear on the REACH candidate list at a concentration above 0.1% by weight.

    The two documents below provide more information about Henco products in regard to the REACH regulations. The SCIP numbers document list products containing more than 0.1% lead by weight:
