TechNexion works passionately to limit the environmental and social impact of all its products, manufacturing facilities and general business operations. As part of our commitment to ethical sourcing, we rigorously monitor our supply chain and refuse minerals and metals from conflict zones. In addition, we also strictly adhere to REACH and RoHS regulations.
RoHS and RoHS III compliance statement
This declaration has been issued under the sole responsibility of the manufacturer. The object of the declaration is in conformity with the relevant European Union harmonization legislation, EN 50581. The EU Directive 2011/65/EU & 2015/863/EU, which refers to “Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment” or “RoHS”. This restricts the use of the following ten hazardous substances with all latest exemptions in Annex III and Annex IV in the manufactures of various types of the electrical and electronic devices.
TechNexion hereby warrants that all parts, semi-finished products, manufacturing process, and products meet the regulatory compliance of RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC), RoHS 2 Directive (2011/65/EU) and RoHS 3 Directive (2015/863/EU) with all latest exemptions in Annex III and Annex IV. Besides, our lead-free production line and process, including solder paste, solder bar and process control parameters, has been developed and standardized in our manufacturing system.
Conflict free minerals policy
TechNexion will not knowingly procure material supplies and components that contain minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) or an adjoining country. In July 2010, the U.S. Government signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act requires all US publicly traded companies to file disclosures and reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) related to the use of Conflict Minerals in their products.
TechNexion is committed to not using metals from conflict regions controlled by non-governmental military groups, or unlawful military factions. TechNexion will take due diligence within its own supply chain to assure “DRC Conflict-Free” and that the metals of gold (Au), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), cobalt (Co) and tin (Sn) are not derived from or sourced from mines in conflict areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), or acquired through illegal transactions. Countries that do not meet the requirements of “Conflict-Free” include the following: DRC, Uganda, Burundi, Tanzania and Kenya (the United Nations Security Council lists metals from these countries are of DRC origins).
TechNexion declares and commits to refusing the application of metals from conflict regions; meanwhile, we request suppliers of TechNexion’s supply chain to comply with the following requirements:
a. Ensure your operation complies with the social and environmental policies.
b. Not to use conflict minerals originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and its adjoining countries and other conflict regions.
c. Trace the origins of all the gold (Au), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), cobalt (Co) and tin (Sn) used in your products.
d. Enforce the same requirements to your upstream suppliers.
REACH compliance statement
Products, which are manufactured by TechNexion, are in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH). TechNexion is committed to conducting our worldwide operations in an environmentally, socially, and ethically responsible manner, complying with all applicable laws and regulations of those countries where we do business. This commitment includes the safe use and identification of chemicals per the applicable requirements of REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals), the European Community regulation number 1907/2006). TechNexion products are “articles” as defined in Article 3(3) of the REACH regulations, and do not release substances under normal use.
REACH is a regulation of the European Union, adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals. REACH Regulation (EC 1907/2006) aims to improve the protection of human health and the environment through the better and earlier identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances. This is done by the four processes of REACH, namely the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals. The Regulation entered into force in 2007.
TechNexion products do not contain either the latest Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) as defined in Article 59(10) and included in Annex XIV or latest list of restrictions, adopted in the framework of REACH and the previous legislation Directive 76/769/EEC, in the Annex XVII of REACH.
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and ODCs
TechNexion Ltd. products meet the requirements on persistent organic pollutants (POPs) per the Stockholm Convention, Montreal Protocol EC No. 2037/2000 and are compliant with Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 and with Regulation (EU) 2015/2030, which amends Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 850/2004, regarding the prohibition of short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs, C10- C13 chloroalkanes) and Regulation (EU) 2016/293 which was published to amend Regulation (EC) No 850/2004.
TechNexion Ltd. products neither contain nor are manufactured with Class I or Class II Ozone Depleting Chemicals (ODCs).
California Proposition 65
We hereby certify that the products listed below manufactured by TechNexion Ltd. are fully compliant with the requirements of Proposition 65 ((Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986).
Proposition 65 (Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) is a Californian law that requires businesses to notify Californians about significant chemicals that cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The law requires that no person doing business, knowingly and intentionally expose an individual to a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive toxicity without first giving a clear and reasonable warning.
The latest Prop 65 list can be accessed at http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65.
This declaration is based on the latest Prop 65 list updated on 27th January 2023.
Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA)
On January 6th 2021, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued final rules under Section 6(h) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for five persistent, bio accumulative and toxic (PBT) chemicals which includes:
Decabromodiphenyl ether (DecaBDE)
Phenol, isopropylated phosphate (3:1) (PIP (3:1))
2,4,6-Tris(tert-butyl)phenol (2,4,6-TTBP)
Hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD)
Pentachlorothiophenol (PCTP)
Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA)
The UFLPA prohibits the importation of goods made in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China (“XUAR”) based on the presumption that all goods made in the region are made with forced labor.
The Act establishes a rebuttable presumption that the importation of any goods, wares, articles, and merchandise mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in part XUAR or produced by certain entities which are in the UFLPA entry list, is prohibited by 19 U.S.C. 1307 (U.S.C. Title 19 – CUSTOMS DUTIES (govinfo.gov)) and that such goods, wares, articles, and merchandise are not entitled to entry to the United States. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) released its first set of guidance relating to the UFLPA, which goes into effect on June 21, 2022.
The presumption applies unless the Commissioner of U.S. CBP determines there is an exception through clear and convincing evidence, that the goods, wares, articles, or merchandise were not produced using forced labor or that UFLPA does not apply.
