Dear Valued Customer,
This letter is regarding material that has been manufactured by North American Stainless (NAS)
and supplied to you. This letter applies to all grades of stainless steel manufactured by NAS.
All material meets the EU directive regarding the End of Life Directive (ELV Directive
2000/53/EC) and the certification that Mercury, Cadmium, Zinc, Lead and Hexavalent
Chromium are not present in levels above the thresholds established by the aforementioned
directive (as listed below) and are not intentionally added or desired components (Rohs Directive
2002/95/ED). There are no phthalates in our stainless steel, and is therefore compliant with Rohs
Directive 2015/863. In addition, the EU Directive was amended via EU document C (2005)
3143, 2005/618/EC on Aug. 18, 2005 that excluded all grades of Stainless Steels from
compliance with the EU RoHS requirements. NAS also complies with RoHS2 (Directive
2011/65/EU) and RoHS 3 (Directive 2015/863).

Teflon or other such organic VOC containing materials (PBB, BDE, PFOS, or PBDE) are not
intentionally added as part of the manufacturing process. Any such organics that would qualify
as a VOC that may be attached to or commingled with our scrap would vaporize due to the
extremely high temperatures required to produce molten metal and produce a desired grade
through addition of alloys.
I certify this to be true an accurate to the best of my knowledge based upon process knowledge,
industry standards, and/or chemical testing.
If I can be of further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or
additional requests regarding our product.
Sincerely,
