Randy Daugharthy (randy.daugharthy@us.bureauveritas.com) of Bureau Veritas will present on the Dodd-Frank Act and its Implications for the Electronics Supply Chain at the CALCE SMTA conference at College Park, Maryland on June 24th.
Abstract:
Conflict minerals with origins in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and adjoining countries have been linked to armed groups accused of severe human rights abuses and of using proceeds from the sales of these minerals to fuel regional conflicts. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act Section 1502 addresses this humanitarian issue by requiring companies, including electronics manufacturers and suppliers, to publicly disclose the origin and chain of custody of specific conflict minerals (tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold) in their supply chains.
