Certifications & Policies
FASTRON factories are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and IATF 16949, and comply with RU electrical standards. Supported by comprehensive internal policies, we ensure consistent quality, environmental responsibility, and regulatory compliance across all operations.
Conflict Free Sourcing Policy
Fastron ensures responsible sourcing by requiring suppliers to avoid conflict minerals and actively monitors its supply chain for transparency and compliance.
Our Commitment
Suppliers must certify Gold, Tin, Tungsten, and Tantalum are conflict-free.
Conflict Minerals Law
SEC rules require disclosure of minerals from the DRC region to prevent funding armed groups and forced labor.
Traceability & Reporting
Fastron monitors sources and requires suppliers to report any changes affecting conflict-free status.
Environmental Information
The RoHS 2 Directive (2011/65/EU), updated by Directive 2015/863/EU, restricts additional hazardous substances in electronic equipment, including four phthalates—DEHP, BBP, DBP, and DIBP—each limited to a maximum concentration of 0.1% in homogeneous materials.
Scope
- RoHS II extends compliance to all electrical and electronic equipment, cables, and spare parts by July 22, 2019, clarifying that maximum substance limits apply to each homogeneous material—a uniform material that cannot be mechanically separated—rather than to entire products or parts.
Restriction of new substances
- The Commission will review the list of restricted substances by July 2014, and periodically thereafter
Exemptions
- RoHS II provides clearer rules for exemptions, while excluding military equipment, large industrial tools, fixed installations, active implantable medical devices, photovoltaic panels, batteries, and packaging materials, which are governed by other directives.
Coherence with other EU legislation
- RoHS II is part of a new legislative framework. In particular, this affects CE marking and Declaration of Conformity (including the harmonized standard EN 50581).
REACH Declaration
REACH requires manufacturers and importers to register chemicals and manage Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs), and Fastron confirms that none of its products contain SVHCs while continuously monitoring the list to ensure ongoing compliance.
