Quality control

ISO

Our ISO activities started by obtaining 9001 certification in 2004. As a "fab-less" supplier, we face the special challenge of maintaining product quality since our unique management system does not have its own manufacturing plants. As environmental preservation activities spread around the world we also got involved. Recently we received 14001certification. In the future, we will continue to improve on our management system stressing quality and environmental preservation.

RoHS

As an enterprise with an ISO14001 certificate, we began applying the RoHS directives and are actively working to decrease the use of harmful substances in any of our products, as well as to decrease the use of substances that place a significant load on the environment. In addition to complying with the RoHS directive inside our corporation, we request our overseas manufacturers to do so as well. This page shows our products that already complied with the RoHS directive.
