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). RoHS Directive Maximum Concentration Values Maximum Concentration Value (by weight in homogeneous material *)_ Lead 0.1% Mercury 0.01% Cadmium 0.01% Hexavalent Chromium 0.1% Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB's) 0.1% Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE's) 0.1% Bis(2-ethylhexyl)Phthalate (DEHP) 0.1% Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) 0.1% Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) 0.1% Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) 0.1% 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, (7)(41, t/fziA4— Maria Eichelberger Environmental Manager North American Stainless
