2 Smurfit-Stone corrugated containers and paperboard are articles as defined by Article 3(3) of reach and as clarified in the Guidance on Requirements for Substances in Articles Appendix 3(4)1. Smurfit-Stone corrugated containers and paperboard do not contain chemicals intended to be released during the use of the paper or container and as a result are not subject to the registration requirements of reach section 7(1). Companies that produce articles that contain chemicals on the list of Substances of Very High Concern ( SVHC ) at levels of are required to notify customers of the presence of these chemicals.

3 Smurfit-Stone has reviewed the chemicals listed as of March 30, 2010 on the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for Authorisation. Smurfit-Stone products do not contain any of the chemicals on the March 30 list at levels greater than Smurfit-Stone will continue to monitor European Community action which would list any of the proposed SVHC chemicals in Annexes XIV or XVII of reach and subject them to authorization or restriction requirements. Smurfit-Stone will take appropriate actions required by reach based on those listings.
