Conflict Minerals- „Dodd-Frank Act“
ipf electronic gmbh has set itself the goal of complying with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act to the
best of its knowledge and belief.

In order to determine whether minerals from mines or smelters in the conflict region are used in our
products, we use the standardized template according to the RMI Reporting Standard (CMRT) for recording
and monitoring. We do not knowingly use materials from the conflict region in our own products.
Please understand that we cannot answer customer-specific questionnaires due to the large number of our
suppliers and articles.
