Chris,

I thought you might be interested in an informative application note that my team put together. The topic? Screening for Conflict Minerals with HDXRF.

In this app note, you will learn more about conflict minerals and get answers to some of the following relevant questions:

• Who is required to comply with the section 1502 disclosure regulation?
• What materials are subject to the 1502 regulation and where could these elements be found in consumer products?
• When does this regulation take effect?
• Why was this regulation put into place?

The SEC adopted a final rule as mandated by Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act to require publicly-held companies, or issuers, to publicly disclose their use of conflict minerals that originate from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or an adjoining country.

Learn more about how HDXRF can help with conflict minerals testing to achieve compliance with confidence.

Hope you get a chance to check it out. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,
