Dodd-Frank Act (Conflict Minerals)

General Information

The Dodd-Frank Act, California Proposition 65 (CalProp65), and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) are U.S. regulations that do not impose any legal obligations on Schukat electronic Vertriebs GmbH as a German company.

The EU Conflict Minerals Regulation specifically targets importers of minerals and metals into the European Union.

Schukat is not an importer of minerals and metals into the EU—commonly referred to as conflict minerals—and is therefore not directly affected by Regulation (EU) 2017/821.

Statement

We would like to point out that the U.S. Dodd-Frank Act, California Proposition 65 (CalProp65), TSCA, as well as conflict minerals regulations, are currently not mandatory for sales activities within Europe.

Accordingly, Schukat electronic Vertriebs GmbH is under no obligation to maintain or provide the information you have requested to customers or authorities.

Schukat does not import cobalt, mica, conflict minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold—commonly known as "3TG") or their derivatives from cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, and wolframite directly from smelters or any other sources located in conflict-affected or high-risk areas.

Furthermore, Schukat is not a producer of electronic components and is therefore not in a position to provide detailed information about the full material content of the products it distributes.

Only the manufacturers of electronic components and products are able to provide the data necessary for accurate information regarding substances subject to global and national restrictions.
