"Ecliptek's new REACH program will provide our customers with access to the critical environmental information they require", stated Thomas Culhane, Ecliptek's Vice President of Quality Assurance. "Our customers can utilize our website to obtain information about REACH regulation and to request REACH compliance statements for specific Ecliptek crystal and oscillator part numbers."

Ecliptek has established an environmental compliance team that meets regularly to coordinate all company REACH related policies. The company is implementing processes and procedures with its suppliers and customers to offer REACH compliant articles (components and assemblies). Questions about REACH can be found on Ecliptek's REACH FAQs section of their website. Ecliptek is committed to meeting or exceeding the requirements of all applicable REACH laws and regulations.
