• Compliance with RoHS instructions and ASIC micro-electronics

The RoHS 2002/95/EC (Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electronic and Electrical Equipment) has entered into force since July 1, 2006, requiring that electronic and electrical equipment placed on the EU market must not contain six hazardous substances, namely lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). ASIC micro-electronics has completed corresponding investigation, confirmation, and testing before this deadline to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and meet customer needs within the specified time.

2011/65/EU (ROHS 2.0) was officially issued by the European Union on July 1, 2011 and officially implemented on January 3, 2013, replacing the 2002/95/EC ROHS Directive.

RoHS2.0 (EU) 2015/863 is a revised directive of 2011/65/EU, which must be used in conjunction with the original directive. The directive was published on June 4, 2016. The main content of the directive is to delete the candidate substances in 2011/65/EU, add four substances that must be tested (DEHP, DBP, BBP, DIBP), and expand the scope of electronic appliances (medical devices and monitoring devices), The directive was implemented on July 22, 2019 (medical devices and monitoring devices were implemented on July 22, 2021, that is, before July 22, 2021, these two types of devices do not need to comply with the RoHS directive, and after July 22, 2021, 10 items need to be met).

ASIC micro-electronics has completed corresponding investigation, confirmation, and testing before this deadline to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and meet customer needs within the specified time.

• Statement on Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) (SVHCS has been updated to 224 items)

"Registration, Evaluation, Licensing, and Restriction of Chemicals" is a European Union regulation for the preventive management of all chemicals entering its market, replacing the existing 40 European Union chemical laws and establishing a unified management model for all chemicals.

According to the EU REACH Act No. 1907/2006, ASIC microelectronics provides material information through the supply chain. ASIC micro-electronics confirms that the product does not contain volatile substances or intentionally released substances, nor does it directly export chemicals to the EU. Therefore, ASIC microelectronics products do not involve (pre) registration issues, and none of the products' materials use any substances in the current candidate list of Substances of High Concern (SVHC), Comply with the requirements of the EU REACH Act for SVHC substances with a content of less than 0.1%. If the EU SVHC list is updated and it is confirmed that there are SVHC candidate substances with a content greater than 0.1% in the product, and the total export volume reaches 1 ton/year and the substance cannot be replaced, ASIC Microelectronics will notify downstream customers and provide necessary information in accordance with REACH requirements.

The SVHC list is based on the latest EU ECHA Official Gazette (newly increased to 224 items, updated in June 2022), available at: http://echa.europa.eu/ 。

• Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (94/62/EC) and ASIC compliance

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPW) 94/62/EC and its supplementary directive 2004/12/EC were announced by the European Union on December 31, 1994 and February 11, 2004, respectively. The directive requires that the total concentration of heavy metals (lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), and hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) in packaging should not exceed 100 ppm.

• Compliance of other substances and ASIC micro-electronics

(Red) Phosphorus: ASIC micro-electronics does not use plastic packaging materials containing red phosphorus flame retardants as halogen-free alternatives, and ASIC micro-electronics requires that the total phosphorus content of its related factories be less than 1000 ppm;

Antimony trioxide: ASIC micro-electronics does not use plastic packaging materials containing antimony oxide flame retardants as halogen-free alternatives, and ASIC microelectronics requires that the total antimony content of its related factories be less than 700 ppm;

Directive 2006/122/EC: All products and raw materials of ASIC micro-electronics do not use perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) substances;

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: Through supply chain investigation, ASIC micro-electronics has confirmed that there may be impurities in the plastic packaging materials. ASIC micro-electronics stipulates that its related factories should be controlled based on a total of less than 50 ppm.
