APRO Environmental Policy

APRO establishes its own environmental policy in accordance with all relevant environmental legislation. The company conducts its business in a manner that respects, preserves, and improves the environment. We have initiate a series of action plans to comply with RoHS regulation to minimize the impact on environment.

Approach to RoHS Compliance

It's our objective to have all products converted into RoHS compliance before RoHS Directives effected in 2006. The company has set forth its RoHS conversion plan since February 2005. The first RoHS compliance product has been assessed by third party laboratory with successful qualification. The report verifies the facts that APRO is capable to monitor RoHS manufacturing process, and its manufacturing quality achieves 100% lead-free quality.

Component Quality Control

APRO applies XRF (X-ray fluorescence) technique to verify the component quality. It becomes a standard procedure to use the handheld XRF analyzer detecting the banned substances from incoming inspection to component release. These tools can accurately evaluate alloy grades based on the elemental composition, and therefore ensure all components qualified with RoHS compliance.

Process Quality Control

During the RoHS conversion, APRO pays special attention to manufacturing process to avoid any mixture from possible hazardous parts or equipments involved. APRO production engineering will examine and update the process control in every stage of manufacturing process to implement RoHS compliance.

Manufacturing Quality Assurance

For RoHS compliant products, APRO could apply for third party RoHS compliance testing and certification upon customers¡¦ request.
