RoHS Compliance Policy 

Starline Holdings, LLC is committed to RoHS compliance through intelligent vendor sourcing and verification of vendor-supplied documentation. Our policy for achieving and maintaining compliance to the RoHS standard is as follows: 

• Procuring RoHS compliant materials from suppliers
• Obtaining a Certificate of Compliance to the RoHS directive from suppliers
• Verifying that new products comply with RoHS
• Supplying a Certificate of Conformance for customers upon request 

Conflict Minerals Policy 

All Starline suppliers are expected to ensure that parts and products are conflict-free from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This means materials do not contain metals derived from “conflict minerals” (Tantalum, Tin, Tungsten, or Gold) or their derivatives such that they directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups through mining or mineral trading in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country. 

Starline suppliers must also establish policies, due diligence frameworks, and management systems that are consistent with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) guidelines stated in Due Diligence for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. 

Security Incident and Reporting Policy 

Starline is concerned about the safety of our customers from a technology perspective and takes the necessary steps to protect our connected products. As a Legrand-owned entity, Starline has implemented the Legrand security incident reporting policy to address security incidents, including security vulnerabilities, that affect connected products and services to support the security and safety of our customers. 

Waste Electrical and Electronics Equipment (WEEE) 

The WEEE directive aims to reduce the quantity of waste coming from the end-of-life of electrical and electronic equipment, reducing at the same time the presence in the environment of the dangerous substances prohibited by the RoHS directive. 

The WEEE directive demands that, at the end-of-life, electrical and electronic equipment must be managed by a specific system that includes their separate collection from other household and professional wastes and specific treatments that allow the reuse, the recycling and other kinds of valorization for finished goods, components, and materials. 

Under this point of view, the WEEE directive, transposed in the juridical system of each country that belongs to the European Union, encourages the companies to promote the introduction in the design phase of techniques that simplify the dismantling and the recycling of the equipment. 

According to the prescriptions of the WEEE directive, the producer of the equipment must provide for the financing of the collection and the treatment of the electrical and electronic equipment at their end-of-life. To fulfill the requirements and prescriptions of the directive, in all European countries, Starline has joined collective bodies in charge of managing electrical and electronic equipment waste. 

WEEE MARKING: All products distributed by Starline that are subjected to the WEEE Directive from August,15th 2018 will be compliant with the WEEE marking requirements. The products will be marked with the “crossed out wheelie bin” WEEE symbol, in accordance with European Standard EN 50419. 

INFORMATION TO USERS: To promote, encourage and hold responsible our customers about their role in the achievement of the important objectives promoted by the WEEE directive, Starline has prepared this specific document.
