Flip Electronics’ Policy on the Sourcing of Minerals Originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or Adjoining Countries
Foundation:
On August 22, 2012, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued its final rule regarding the sourcing of conflict minerals under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“the Dodd-Frank Act”). The rule outlines reporting requirements on publicly traded companies subject to the SEC under section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. This includes a requirement to report annually the presence of conflict minerals originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or adjoining countries (“Covered Countries”) in the products they manufacture or contract to manufacture whereby the conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of a product. These “Conflict Minerals” include: Coltan (columbite tantalite) and its derivatives (Tantalum); Cassiterite and its derivatives (Tin); Wolframite and its derivatives (Tungsten); and Gold.
Flip Electronics Policy:
Although Flip Electronics is a privately held company, and therefore exempt from these government regulations, we fully embrace our responsibility as participants in the electronics supply chain and the importance of fighting human rights violations through Section 1502 of the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act, Rule 13p-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act, and EU Directive 2017/821.
As a distributor of electronic components and parts, Flip Electronics does not engage in any manufacturing activities or value-added services that require the acquisition of raw materials that may be subject to the referenced legislation. Nor do we maintain or provide conflict mineral information on any products manufactured by our supply partners that pass-through our hands. Since the manufacturers are the definitive source of accurate information regarding substances and chemicals, including any conflict minerals, used in the manufacture of their products, Flip Electronics maintains that to obtain such information for pass-through parts customers will have to obtain the information directly from the manufacturers. Flip Electronics cannot certify the accuracy of technical information provided by any third party and cannot be held liable for such information. We thank you for your continued support.
COUNTERFEIT & SUB-STANDARD COMPONENT PREVENTION PROGRAM
1) Counterfeit Prevention Process Development
a) Flip Electronics is committed, as an organization, to being an active partner in mitigating and preventing the sale, propagation, and trafficking in counterfeit and fraudulent parts. We are also committed to providing our customers with product that meets all of their requirements. To accomplish these commitments, we have developed several internal processes and procedures. These are outlined below.
b) Flip Electronics personnel have been major contributors to the creation and current revision of the IDEA-STD-1010 standard, “Acceptability of Electronic Components Distributed in the Open Market”. Flip Electronics has implemented the IDEA Inspection Process into its QMS for all open market incoming material. Flip incorporates the IDEA-1005-D “Inspection Process Guidelines Check List” into its internal process controls.
c) Flip Electronics’ Director of Quality was an active participant in and involved with the G-19D Sub-Committee responsible for the development of the Counterfeit Mitigation Standard (AS6081) to be used by distributors.
2) Supplier Certification
a) Flip Electronics believes that counterfeit prevention begins with the supplier certification process and implements the necessary safeguards to proactively mitigate its risk by effectively managing its supplier base.
3) Incoming Material Inspection Processes
a) Flip Electronics holds to the philosophy that counterfeit prevention is not limited to the scope of the quality department, but that responsibility for prevention belongs to the entire organization. To maintain effective counterfeit mitigation and compliance with industry best practices Flip Electronics’ incoming material inspection processes reflect that philosophy through the following:
i) Sales:
(1) Flip Electronics stresses the critical importance of gathering all data from its customers necessary to best determine their requirements and document those requirements to ensure proper flow-down through every level of the organization.
ii) Purchasing:
(1) Flip Electronics limits the scope of its purchasing to a trusted supplier base that is regularly audited to maintain the high-standards customers expect.
iii) Product Verification:
(1) Initial inspections are performed upon receipt of material to verify purchased product is consistent with customer requirements and that all required documentation and traceability required by customers as well as statutory and regulatory requirements are Doc-14 01/26/2017 G. Beckstedt satisfactorily met.
(2) All parts received undergo a strict multi-tiered quality inspection process that includes the following, based on customer requirements:
(a) Packaging, labeling, and documentation
(b) Visual inspection under high-powered microscopy
(c) Resistance to solvents testing
(d) Mechanical measurements
(e) X-Ray Analysis
(f) XRF Analysis
(g) Solderability testing
(h) Heated solvents testing
(i) Decapsulation and Die Analysis
4) Containment of Non-Conforming Product
a) At any step in the inspection processes listed above, products may be identified as nonconforming. Products are considered non-conforming if any of (but not limited to) the following conditions apply:
i) Customer purchase order requirements have not been met
ii) Statutory and/or regulatory requirements have not been met
iii) Failure at incoming inspection (e.g. wrong part received, parts not received with required traceability, parts damaged)
iv) Failure at quality inspection (e.g. reworked parts, sub-standard parts, fraudulent parts, suspect counterfeit parts, etc...)
v) Failure at final inspection (i.e. re-verification of customer and regulatory requirements against parts received for shipment)
b) Non-Conforming Product Process (SOP-15 ‘Control of Non-conforming Product’)
i) Any material that is identified as non-conforming is immediately quarantined pending verification.
ii) All stakeholders are notified of the non-conformance for appropriate action.
iii) A comprehensive report is generated with full descriptions of observations made, along with test data and photographic evidence detailing the non-conforming condition.
iv) The non-conforming parts are held in a designated non-conforming area until final disposition can be determined by the Material Review Board.
v) The responsible supplier is notified of the non-conformance. Depending on the severity and/or frequency of occurrences with the responsible supplier, a supplier corrective action request is made and the supplier’s certification is re-evaluated.
