Proposition 65 requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. These chemicals can be in the products that Californians purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. By requiring that this information be provided, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about their exposures to these chemicals.
Proposition 65 also prohibits California businesses from knowingly discharging significant amounts of listed chemicals into sources of drinking water. Proposition 65 requires California to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. This list, which must be updated at least once a year, has grown to include approximately 900 chemicals since it was first published in 1987.

Bead Industries is compliant with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Any defense articles or defense services, including related technical data, controlled by the ITAR, to which Company may obtain access will not be used for any purpose or in any way other than that authorized by the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), and will not be further exported, transferred, or disclosed via any means whatsoever (including oral disclosure, photographic image, electronic communication, visual access, facsimile).
REACH is the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use (EC1907/2006). It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemical substances. The law entered into force on 1 June 2007. The aim of REACH is to improve the protection of human health and the environment through the better and earlier identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances.
Bead Electronics does not manufacture or import chemicals and thus does not need to do any registration or pre-registration. Today, all our business partners gave us sufficient guarantees that the materials and products used in the manufacturing of our interconnect pins are and will be registered according to the REACH Directive.
RoHS refers to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances. The European Union (EU) instituted RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC, which banned six substances (Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexacalent Chromium, Polybrominated Biphenysis, and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers) from being used in the manufacturing process. The goal of this directive is to protect the environment and reduce exposure-related health risks.

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that include PFOA, PFOS, GenX, and many others. During production and use, PFAS can migrate into the soil, water, and air. Most PFAS do not break down over time, so they remain in the environment. Some PFAS can build up in people and animals with repeated exposure over time. Bead certifies that to the best of its knowledge, none of its products contain any PFAS substances.
