Conflict Minerals Policy
New Wave Design and Verification, LLC dba New Wave Design is committed to providing high-quality products to our customers while complying with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Conflict minerals include tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), tin (Sn), and gold (Au), also known as 3TG, sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and its neighboring countries.
Although we are a non-SEC registered, private small business, and are not subject to the SEC ruling, New Wave Design promotes the traceability of these minerals and the transparency of the supply chain. We firmly believe that our customers should be informed about the products they purchase. We work closely with our suppliers to ensure transparency and traceability of our products. We do not purchase raw ore or unrefined minerals and only buy parts from authorized distributors of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). We only purchase electronic parts from suppliers approved through our Quality System and Supplier Evaluation.
New Wave fully understands the importance of this issue to its customers and is committed to supply chain initiatives, overall corporate social responsibility, and sustainability efforts that work towards a conflict-free supply chain. New Wave uses Silicon Expert to verify vendors’ conflict status and view reporting templates and conflict mineral policies and statements, and we do not directly purchase any conflict minerals from any source or purchase products that contain conflict minerals. To ensure our suppliers’ compliance, we require them to have an active conflict minerals policy statement and/or a current Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CFSI_CMRT). When using contract manufacturers (CMs) for direct manufacturing of New Wave’s products or sub-assemblies, we collect CMRTs to determine their compliance with Section 1502.
In summary, as a small company that delivers high-quality products, New Wave is committed to following the regulations outlined in Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act concerning the use of conflict minerals. We will not knowingly purchase products that contain conflict minerals that directly or indirectly finance, or benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries.
