We comply with applicable legislation and make active use of relevant tools to evaluate chemicals. For us, it's important to be able to deal with possible changes in the environment, regulatory requirements or in the environmental debate at an early stage, and we want our customers to feel confident in their choice of textile, whatever its colour, appearance or function. This means that our textiles contain no substances that are harmful to humans or the environment.
Ludvig Svensson and REACH
In compliance with regulation (EC) nr.1907/2006 (REACH), the production and import of chemical substances of more than one tonne a year – or substances in products exceeding more than 0.1% – must be recorded in the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) database. Ludvig Svensson is what is known as a "downstream user." Users of chemicals are required to provide information about their use to the supplier of the chemical. We are also obliged to inform our customers. We certify, in accordance with the directives of REACH, that our products are not, nor do they contain harmful substances that are, subject to registration in accordance with European Chemicals agency.
*REACH is chemical legislation that replaces much of the rules relating to chemical that applied before 1 June 2007 in the EU and Sweden. REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals.
