Our Commitment to Quality and Compliance
We recognize that our labels are often the first point of contact between your product and your customers. Therefore, we take our responsibility seriously and adhere to strict quality control measures throughout our production process.

Detailed Overview of Certifications and Declarations
1. Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) Compliance
The REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation is a European Union regulation that aims to improve the protection of human health and the environment through the better and earlier identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances. One key aspect of REACH is the identification of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs). SVHCs are substances that pose serious and often irreversible risks to human health and the environment. These substances are identified based on criteria such as carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, reproductive toxicity, persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity.
CNI #SFadlabels is committed to ensuring that our self-adhesive materials are compliant with the REACH regulation, including the requirements related to SVHCs. We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that our raw materials are free from SVHCs above the legally permitted limits. We continuously monitor the REACH candidate list and update our processes as needed to maintain compliance. This commitment ensures that our labels are safe for use and contribute to a healthier environment. By choosing CNIS Fadlabels, you can be confident that you are working with a supplier that prioritizes the health and safety of both people and the planet. We provide declarations of compliance upon request, detailing the absence or presence of SVHCs in our products within the legally defined limits.
2. REACH Compliance
Beyond SVHCs, the broader REACH regulation encompasses a wide range of requirements related to the registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemical substances. CNIS Fadlabels is fully committed to complying with all aspects of the REACH regulation.

Our commitment to REACH compliance includes:
- Registration of Substances: We ensure that all chemical substances used in our production process are registered with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), as required by REACH.

Our food contact declarations provide detailed information about the composition of our label materials and confirm that they are suitable for their intended use in contact with food. We conduct regular testing and analysis to ensure ongoing compliance and maintain the highest level of food safety. This commitment to food safety gives you the confidence that our labels are safe for use in the food and beverage industry.
