Quality & Compliance Resources

Suppliers of minerals used in the manufacture of Koaxis products (specifically gold, tin, tantalum, tungsten, mica, and cobalt) must demonstrate that they understand the conflict and extended minerals regulations and will not knowingly procure specified metals that originate from the Conflict Regions.

Koaxis endeavors to maintain the latest version of our Conflict & Extended Minerals Reporting using the most up-to-date version of the RMI templates.

We will only update these templates once per calendar year as soon as possible after Jan 1.

Koaxis' policy is to only buy 3rd party components used in our end products from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) or their Authorized Distributors only.

For Koaxis design products, including build to order products and machined parts, a Certificate of Conformance for every order is required from the supplier.

As these suppliers cannot be effectively audited without great expense, we trust that the Contract Manufacturers, OEMs and Authorized Distributors are working in their own best interests as it pertains to Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations (DFAR).

All records for incoming material are retained at Koaxis.

Koaxis products are classified as EAR99 under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), meaning they are subject to U.S. export control but are not specifically listed on the Commerce Control List (CCL). EAR99 items are generally low‑risk commercial products that, in many cases, may be exported under No License Required (NLR), subject to screening for embargoed or sanctioned destinations, restricted parties, and prohibited end uses as described by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) at https://www.bis.gov/regulations/ear.

Customer designs may become subject to U.S. Export Control if, and only if, an export is required by the customer or the design authority, including exports, reexports, or in‑country transfers to non‑U.S. persons. In such cases, the ultimate classification and licensing requirements depend on the item’s technical characteristics, destination, end user, and end use and may fall under the EAR (including EAR99 or a specific Export Control Classification Number (ECCN)) or the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

Koaxis is registered with the United States Department of State in accordance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR 120–130). Koaxis is a U.S. manufacturer and maintains a policy to employ only United States persons in positions that require access to technical data or hardware subject to U.S. Export Control, in keeping with the highest level of integrity and the intent of the ITAR. Every employee who has responsibility to view or handle export‑controlled data or items is either a U.S. citizen or holds valid permanent work authorization, supporting compliance with applicable ITAR and EAR requirements as outlined by the U.S. Department of State’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) at https://www.pmddtc.state.gov.

For additional official information on U.S. export control regulations, please consult the BIS EAR overview at https://www.bis.gov/regulations/ear and the ITAR compliance resources on the DDTC Public Portal at https://www.pmddtc.state.gov/ddtc_public

Child Labor, Slavery, and Human Trafficking

Koaxis is a Christian, family-owned organization and does not engage in, nor does it permit any activities within our organization or those of our suppliers that even hint at the use of child labor, slave labor, or any activities related to or that encourage human trafficking. Further, we will actively work to defeat any activities, even if passive, that facilitate or encourage the use of child labor, slave labor, or any activities related to or encouraging human trafficking.

We have not and will NOT complete the industry standard template, aka STRT.

Consultants are charging fees to collect these compliance documents and we will not encourage it.

We consider it a passive activity that profits from the aforementioned atrocities.

Koaxis products and materials of construction do not contain Mercury (Hg) by design and are not intentionally manufactured using Mercury in any form.

Koaxis' Standard products, not specified for "flight" applications, are not intentionally manufactured or formulated with substances above the thresholds listed in the REACH Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for Authorization. Therefore Koaxis products do not fit within the requirements for preregistration and registration under REACH.

Some Koaxis products, which may include products specified for "flight" and/or for which certain solders containing Lead are specified by the  design authority for an order, shall contain Lead. In these cases, the SVHC is required by our customer and so Koaxis shall not fulfill the compliance reporting required under REACH.

For more information visit "Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals"
at the European Chemical Agency web site.

View the current  Candidate List of "Substances of Very High Concern" (SVHC)

As of the date, below, Koaxis has evaluated the list of SVHC in effect on this date.
Koaxis shall update this statement no more often than once every 12 months, after Jan 1 each year.

All Koaxis products are designed and manufactured to meet the requirements of RoHs 2015/863/EU and 2011/65/EU. Products explicitly specified, by the Buyer or its affiliates, to contain components that do not meet the requirements of RoHS are specifically exempted. Brass is an important material used in the manufacture of machined components used in many coaxial connectors.

For products containing Brass and as a company, Koaxis claims Exemption 6c, "Copper alloy containing up to 4% Lead by weight".

Unless otherwise specified by the customer, as may be required for defense and aerospace applications, Koaxis uses SN96 solder as standard. SN96 typcially contains 96% Tin, 3.5% Silver, and 0.5% Copper.

The ownership and management at Koaxis are committed to operate under the highest ethical standards as established by the Creator of all men. In seeking the words to formulate company policy on this matter, we need not search any further than the great documents, defining liberty and birth rights, created and endorsed by the Founding Fathers of this great land.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
