Quality Policy

Conflict Minerals Policy (Dodd-Frank Act)
BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION
The United Nations Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) found that the trade of certain minerals (Tantalum, Tin, Tungsten and Gold) called Conflict Minerals (3TG), is helping to finance civil conflict in the DRC.
In July 2010 the United States passed HR4173, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform & Consumer Protection Act containing section 1502 requiring all companies subject to SEC reporting requirements to disclose the chain of custody usage of Conflict Minerals.
POLICY STATEMENT
A. TLC Electronics expects our Customers Designated Design Authority in control of the “Qualified Manufacturer’s List” or “Approved Manufacturers List” associated with the Bill of Materials to provide TLC Electronics with a defined source of material(s) from socially responsible manufacturers who comply with the Dodd-Frank regulation. The Designated Design Authority for the customer shall provide to the customer all the necessary declarations in support of their design.
B. For TLC Electronics sourced manufacturers, we require the following:
1. The manufacturer/supplier shall perform due diligence and country of origin inquiries to provide certification that these components and supplies either do not contain DRC Conflict Minerals or are “DRC Conflict Undeterminable”.
2. Suppliers must pass this requirement on to their supply chain as necessary to perform due diligence and determine country of origin for the conflict minerals.
3. Manufacturers who are non-compliant to these requirements shall be restricted from future business.
4. Upon request, TLC Electronics shall provide customers a certificate of due diligence for TLC Electronics sourced manufacturers.
