Certification of Compliance

REACH Directive

B&B Manufacturing manufactures and sells gears, belts, timing pulleys, and other power transmission components. B&B products that are used in electrical or electrical devices are, by definition, not electronic parts, they are mechanical components. Under normal conditions of use, B&B products do not emit chemicals or other substances.

We have reviewed the REACH directive and associated guidance documents. As a result of the review, we have determined REACH guidelines classify our products as Articles. Article 3 of REACH regulation 1907/2006 defines an article as: “an object which during production is given a special shape, surface, or design which determines its function to a greater degree than its chemical composition”. We neither supply nor manufacture “substances”, and our articles do not involve the “intentional release of substances.” Based on this definition, B&B believes we are not required to register any of our products under REACH.

B&B's products (articles) do not exceed threshold limits established for the June 2025 list of 250 SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern).

B&B issues its part specific auto generated REACH certification free of charge via our website. If additional specific certification is needed, it will be provided for a fee. Parts will only be certified under B&B part numbers. Material certification for previously shipped items is typically not available.

This certification applies to Part Number 13V475SH and is effective from July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, or until the list is updated.

Material Certification of Compliance

All B&B Manufacturing parts are RoHS compliant (RoHS 2 2011/65/EU and RoHS 3 2015/863) with the exception of aluminum parts that have gold anodize and a few non-catalog parts that have customer specified non-compliant plating requirements. If you are purchasing aluminum parts with gold anodize and need RoHS compliance, please notify us before placing your order.

General Comments:

• Raw material and subsequent processes do not exceed RoHS directed limits for restricted materials:
  • .35% Lead (steel) (exemption 6—lead as an alloying element)
  • .4% Lead (aluminum) (exemption 6—lead as an alloying element)
  • .1% mercury
