Introduction

To support regulatory compliance requirements in the European market and ensure transparent material sourcing for overseas customers, Jiushuo has completed REACH SVHC compliance verification for selected carrier tape materials used in SMT packaging applications. The verification confirms that the evaluated materials meet current REACH SVHC requirements and are suitable for use in regulated electronics manufacturing supply chains.

REACH compliance is increasingly important for OEMs and EMS providers operating in or supplying to the European Union, as it directly relates to chemical substance management and long-term supply continuity. By proactively validating SVHC compliance at the material level, Jiushuo helps customers reduce compliance risks and streamline supplier qualification processes.

Test Scope and Product Coverage

The REACH SVHC compliance verification covers production-grade materials used across Jiushuo’s Carrier Tape product range for SMT component packaging.

The evaluated scope includes materials used in:

  • Standard embossed carrier tape for common SMT applications
  • Anti-static carrier tape designed for ESD-sensitive electronic components
  • Custom carrier tape solutions developed for non-standard component geometries

All assessed materials reflect normal production specifications and are representative of products supplied for volume manufacturing and international shipment.

Applied Regulation and Compliance Criteria

The compliance verification was conducted in accordance with REACH SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) requirements under the European Union REACH regulation.

The evaluated carrier tape materials were reviewed to confirm that SVHC concentrations remain within the applicable regulatory threshold, as defined by current REACH requirements. This verification supports the safe use of Jiushuo packaging materials in electronics manufacturing environments where chemical compliance and traceability are critical.

REACH SVHC compliance complements existing RoHS requirements by focusing on chemical substance control at the material level, rather than restricted substances in finished electronic products alone.

What This Means for Overseas Customers

For international customers sourcing SMT packaging materials, confirmed REACH SVHC compliance provides several key advantages:

Enhanced Regulatory Assurance

Customers can integrate Jiushuo carrier tape materials into REACH-regulated supply chains with reduced compliance uncertainty.

Support for EU Market Requirements

Compliance verification helps align packaging materials with EU chemical regulations and customer-specific compliance policies.

Consistency Across Product Variants

Compliance applies across multiple carrier tape solutions, including: Embossed Carrier Tape (Standard), Anti-Static (ESD) Carrier Tape and Custom Embossed Carrier Tape, enabling customers to maintain consistent material compliance even when component designs or packaging formats vary.

Improved Supply Chain Transparency

Material-level verification supports internal audits, customer reviews, and long-term supplier management.

Compatibility with Complete SMT Packaging Solutions

REACH SVHC compliance is part of Jiushuo’s broader approach to material control across complete SMT packaging systems. In addition to carrier tape materials, Jiushuo supplies compliant cover tape solutions within its Cover Tape product category, including: Pressure Sensitive Cover Tape, Heat Activated Cover Tape.

By aligning compliance across both carrier tape and cover tape materials, Jiushuo supports integrated SMT packaging solutions suitable for automated feeding and global manufacturing environments.

Report Availability and Documentation Support

REACH SVHC compliance documentation related to the evaluated carrier tape materials is available for customer reference and regulatory review. Relevant documentation can be accessed via Jiushuo’s Compliance & Test Reports Download page to support supplier qualification, audit processes, and internal compliance records.

Additional documentation or clarification may be provided upon request, subject to standard confidentiality and documentation policies.
