Due diligence has been applied to ensure compliance to the ACT.  Much like the Bribery Act 2010, the Modern Slavery Act 2015 that requires us all to take responsibility not just for what we do, but for what is done in our name.

2016 - Conflict Materials Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act 2016 - As a part of the U.S. Government's Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act, signed into law in July 2010, Section 1502 requires companies within the UN to ensure the raw materials they use to make their products are not tied to the conflict in Congo, by auditing the mineral supply chains. ABSSAC is a UK based company and has investigated its obligation to this reform by letter to its suppliers. At this time it can be assured that ABSSAC products comply with this reform and is also worth mentioning that many cases the products supplied do not contain the minerals in question, such as Coltan / Tantalum. (Coltan is short for Columbite-tantalite). Gold. Tin / Cassiterite and Tungsten. Our investigation into the matter is deemed appropriate to conform to the ACT. For further information on the important measure please see - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/conflict-minerals .

2016 - R.E.A.C.H Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals 2016R.E.A.C.H RegulationWe can reassure you that the substances we supply will be registered if required. In some cases we are to be termed a downstream user, but under the 1 tonne import limit. On contacting DEFRA, we can confirm that in all cases the parts supplied are finished articles and are not chemicals in their raw state. The processes used to manufacturer these parts concur with all R.E.A.C.H regulation requirements. The products we supply do not contain CMR's, PBT's or vPvBs therefore we do not anticipate having to develop exposure scenarios. At this stage we can reassure you that the products we supply will not be subject to a risk of reformulation withdrawal from the market. We also have sufficient information regarding registration to REACH registration if required. For further information please see - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-comply-with-reach-chemical-regulations . Currently the products supplied by Abssac Limited meet the REACH directive.
