作为频率控制产品的供应商，RubyQuartz Technology，LLC在我们生产的产品中使用了某些矿物质。尽管Raltron Crystal要求我们的所有供应商遵守电子行业行为准则，并且仅从对环境和社会负责的供应商处采购材料，但我们认识到某些矿物涉及复杂的供应链，并已采取措施确保我们购买的原生金属不产自冲突矿山。“冲突采矿”或“冲突金属”或“冲突矿产”指的是对非洲刚果民主共和国东部地区一些矿山的非法控制。电子工业使用某些类型的金属，其中一些可能是从这些矿山获得的矿物中提炼出来的。

可能来自冲突矿山的主要矿物和金属有:
-锡石(锡)
-金
-钴
-钶钽铁矿石
-黑钨矿(钨)
-烧绿石(铌)

RubyQuartz Technology，LLC使用的金属是锡和金。锡用于某些铜合金端子、某些镀层和焊料，而金用于某些端子和金电极的镀层。钨也用于制造SMD元件中使用的陶瓷封装。RubyQuartz Technology，LLC不直接购买所列的任何其他矿物和金属(钴、铌和钽)，因此我们将重点放在锡和金供应商上。

RubyQuartz Technology，LLC要求我们所有的供应商遵守电子行业行为准则。由于这些矿物的供应链非常复杂，Raltron要求我们的锡和黄金供应商追踪这些金属的来源，并在使用任何冲突矿山时采取纠正措施。Raltron及其供应商不会故意使用从冲突矿山获得的任何原始锡或黄金，并将定期询问供应商，以验证我们的要求是否得到满足，从而帮助确保我们供应链中所有工人的健康和安全.
Rubyquartz努力维护一个支持员工、客户和社区健康和福祉的环境。我们的目标是使我们目前的行为符合公认的环境标准，积极节约资源和防止污染。我们将鼓励我们的供应商保持同样的承诺。我们对环境合规性的持续追求将涉及与员工合作定期监控、更新和升级我们的标准。
Rubyquartz致力于按时交付价格有竞争力的产品，满足或超过客户的期望和需求。我们将通过与客户、员工和供应商保持高质量标准来实现这些目标。我们的质量管理体系和目标将提供一个框架，以确保定期评估所有要求，以实现持续改进和确保客户满意度。

As a supplier of frequency control products, RubyQuartz Technology, LLC uses certain minerals in the products we manufacturer. While Raltron requires all our suppliers to comply with the Electronics Industry Code of Conduct and to only source materials from environmentally and socially responsible suppliers, we recognize the complex supply chain involved with certain minerals and have taken steps to ensure that virgin metals we purchase do not originate in conflict mines. ‘Conflict Mining’ or ‘Conflict Metals’ or ‘Conflict Minerals’ refers to the illegal control of some mines in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa. The electronics industry uses certain types of metals, some of which are potentially refined from minerals obtained from these mines.

The primary minerals and metals that could potentially come from conflict mines are:

• Cassiterite (tin)
• Gold
• Cobalt
• Coltan (tantalum)
• Wolframite (tungsten)
• Pyrochlore (niobium)

The metals that RubyQuartz Technology, LLC uses are tin and gold. Tin is used in certain copper alloy terminals, some platings, and solder, while gold is used in platings of some terminals and gold electrodes. Tungsten is also used in the making of the ceramic packages used in SMD components.

RubyQuartz Technology, LLC does not directly purchase any of the other minerals and metals listed (cobalt, niobium, and tantalum), so we are focusing our efforts on tin and gold suppliers.

RubyQuartz Technology, LLC requires all our suppliers to conform to the Electronics Industry Code of Conduct because the supply chain for these minerals is complex, Raltron has requested that our tin and gold suppliers, trace these metals to their source, and to take corrective actions if any conflict mines are used. Raltron and its suppliers do not knowingly use any virgin tin or gold obtained from conflict mines and will regularly query suppliers to verify our requirements are being met to help ensure the health and safety of all workers in our supply chain.
Rubyquartz strives to maintain an environment that supports the health and well being of our employees, customers and our community. Our goal is to formalize our current compliance to recognized environmental standards, to actively conserve resources and prevent pollution. We will encourage our suppliers to maintain the same commitments. Our continued pursuit of excellence in environmental compliance will involve regular monitoring, updating and upgrading of our standards in partnership with our employees.
Rubyquartz is committed to delivering products competitively priced and on time that will meet or exceed our customer’s expectations and needs. We will achieve these goals by maintaining the high standards of quality in partnership with our customers, employees and suppliers. Our Quality Management System and Objectives will provide the framework to insure that all requirements are regularly evaluated for continual improvement and assurance of customer satisfaction.
