EU REACH
The new EU chemicals policy REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of Chemicals) came into effect on June 1st 2007. There are many web sites containing detailed information on REACH. We recommend a visit to the European Chemicals Agency site, http://echa.europa.eu.
Cirris neither imports nor exports chemical substances into or out of the EU. The small amount of chemicals used in our manufacturing process are confined within the United States and none are exported outside of our facility.
ITAR
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) is a set of United States government regulations that control the export and import of defense-related articles and services on the United States Munitions List (USML). The Department of State interprets and enforces ITAR. Its goal is to safeguard US national security and further US foreign policy objectives.
For practical purposes, ITAR regulations dictate that information and material pertaining to defense and military related technologies (for items listed on the US Munitions List) may only be shared with US Persons unless authorization from the Department of State is received or a special exemption is used.
To be specific, ITAR does not apply to information related to general scientific, mathematical or engineering principles that is commonly taught in schools and colleges or information that is legitimately in the public domain. Cirris products are commercially available testers used for a variety of quality test and verification applications. Cirris equipment can assure that cables, harnesses (or other interconnection devices like PCB's) are meeting desired build specifications. Our products are not in any way part of the USML list of restricted items. Therefore Cirris does not need to register our products.
Conflict Minerals Statement
In July of 2010, the United States Congress passed legislation requiring companies to report the use of “Conflict Minerals” in the manufacture of their products.
“Conflict Minerals” in this context refer to specific minerals originating from mines controlled by armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries.The specific metals in question are:
- Coltan (columbite tantalite) and its derivatives (Tantalum)
- Cassiterite and its derivatives (Tin)
- Wolframite and its derivatives (Tungsten)
- Gold
Social & Environmental Stewardship: Conflict Minerals
The enactment of U.S. Congress HR 4173, specifically with regard to section 1502-Conflict Minerals, addresses serious issues and concerns within the supply chain for raw materials. Cirris, Inc. has monitored the related issues and developments as they impact our electronics supply chain. We are fully aware of this law and continue to monitor the related, ongoing SEC developments. Cirris is committed to helping our customers comply with all reporting requirements. And at this time we are confident that our supply chain does not purchase raw materials that conflict with section 1502-Conflict Minerals.
Component manufacturers have made it clear that their distributors are not authorized to provide this complex data to the end customer, as traditional component distribution activities are not within the scope of the bill’s reporting requirements.
Cirris does not file reports with the SEC under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, which states in the Conflict Materials Scope “A company is not required to comply with the conflict mineral disclosure requirements if it is able to answer “no” to any of the following questions:
- Does the company file reports with the SEC under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act?
- Does the company manufacture or contract to manufacture products?
- Are conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of the product manufactured or contracted to be manufactured?
However, Cirris realizes the importance of this initiative and fully supports its spirit. We continue earnest efforts to facilitate the timely flow of information to assist our customers.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.
