REACH & RoHS: what EU importers should ask their supplier

For European importers, compliance with REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is non-negotiable. Non-compliance can lead to severe fines and blocked shipments.

The Lead (Pb) Challenge

Traditional free-machining brass contains lead to improve machinability. However, regulations are increasingly restricting lead content in parts used for drinking water and electronics.

What to Ask Your Supplier

Importers must ask for proper material certificates, SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) declarations, and independent lab test reports.

At Blessing Metal India, compliance is guaranteed. We offer a range of lead-free brass alloys (such as CW511L or Eco-Brass) and provide full traceability and documentation for every shipment, ensuring zero customs surprises for our European partners.
