Mirka Restricted Materials List v 1.5 10.1.2019 The Mirka Ltd Restricted Materials List (RML) specifies the chemical substances that are classified as "banned", "restricted" and "substances of concern". Principles The objective with the RML is to achieve compliance with legislation, the Mirka Ltd environmental policy and to facilitate a consistent approach to managing chemical substances. The RML is used to inform suppliers and other stakeholders about the status of chemical substances. It is an integral part of parts specifications and contractual agreements with suppliers. The purpose of the RML is to avoid materials and substances that: may represent hazards to the environment or the health of workers, customers and consumers could negatively influence end-of-life properties, or might cause other concerns. Mirka Ltd always follows national and local legislation. Substances that are not restricted or not included on the RML are not automatically acceptable to use. In addition, substances that are legal to use may be included on the RML. If there is a change in the official classification of a substance, a reclassification within RML will be considered at the next periodical update. If required by legislation, this time will be reduced. Current version or RML is valid until next update is published. Changes in this document are marked with yellow. RML Classification RML substances are classified into the following categories: Banned: Substances that shall not be present in any products put on the market by the Mirka Ltd Restricted: Restricted Substances shall not be present in products put on the market by the Mirka Ltd, but: - exemptions for geographical regions may exist - exemptions for specific applications may exist - they may be present during a planned phase out period Substances of Concern (SoC): listed because they generate concern now or may do so in the future When a substance belongs to several groups with different RML classifications, the most stringent classification applies. The presence of RML substances in materials, articles or products shall be reported by the supplier.

Connected to this list is a requirement for companies to provide information to customers concerning the presence of these substances in articles (products). The candidate list is published on the home page of the European Chemicals Agency http://echa.europa.eu/chem_data/authorisation_process/candidate_list_en.asp 3 The “Registry of current SVHC intentions” is published by the European Chemicals Agency to allow interested parties to be aware of the substances for which the authorities intend to submit Annex XV dossiers.
