Although IOUTech does not add any conflict minerals in our manufacturing process, some of the components or sub-assemblies sourced in our supply chain contain gold. They do not contain the other conflict minerals. IOUTech completes a process of our annual determination to confirm that none of our products that contain gold use minerals sourced in the DRC or surrounding countries as part of our due diligence in our supply chain. We have done this in order to respond to requests for this information from our customers who are obligated to report under this legislation. This effort is referred to as a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) and part of our response to EICC-GESI declarations for the products we produce.

The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657), effective January 1, 2012, requires large retailers and manufacturers doing business in the state of California, with gross worldwide receipts of over 100 million U.S. dollars (USD), to be transparent about the efforts they have undertaken to eradicate slavery and human trafficking in their direct supply chains for tangible goods offered for sale.
Although IOUTech Engstler Elektronik Entwicklung GmbH's business is outside the scope of above regulation, we are nonetheless committed to do our part in the elimination of slavery and human trafficking. IOUTech has, therefore, voluntarily adopted the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) Code of Conduct, now Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) which prohibits the use of forced, bonded, indentured labor or involuntary prison labor.
To ensure that our supply chain complies with our policies and procedures, we require compliance with our policies on forced labor and human trafficking. We believe that our suppliers' compliance with our Code of Conduct reduces the risks of human trafficking and slavery in our supply chain. IOUTech expects suppliers to comply with the Code regardless of local business practices or social customs.
In addition to regulations applying to the products we manufacture, European and US regulations extend to the manufactured packaging articles and packaging components we use to receive and ship our products. In particular these are
To harmonize national measures concerning the management of packaging and packaging waste and to prevent or reduce its impact on the environment Directive 94/62/EC was adopted and last amended by Directive (EU) 2015/720.

The California Toxics in Packaging Prevention (TIPP) Act (codified at Cal. Health & Saf. Code §§ 25214.11–.26) is a California law that prohibits the use of certain heavy metals in packaging materials. Under the law, manufacturers may not offer products for sale if the packaging contains a regulated metal that has been intentionally introduced into the packaging material. Additionally, the total incidental presence of regulated metals may not exceed 100 parts per million by weight. The regulated metals are lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium.

The Lacey Act of 1900 (codified at 16 U.S.C. §§ 3371–78) is a federal law in the United States that generally prohibits any transaction involving plants or wildlife that were taken or harvested illegally. The Lacey Act is the United States’ oldest conservation law, but it remains in effect today. In 2008, significant amendments were passed that expanded the scope of the Lacey Act’s protections. Under the law, no person may import, export, transport, sell, receive, acquire, or purchase any plant that was harvested illegally. Furthermore, the Lacey Act now defines “plant” to include not just plants themselves but also any products made from plants, such as wood pulp or wood fibers.
