Product certificates and declarations

LINAK Actuators and Actuator Systems are designed and verified in concordance with the specific regulatory requirements and standards, which are listed in the product specifications for LINAK products.

Compliance Data Management Programme
LINAK is working with a third party compliance partner, who aligns with growing requirements, automates processes and delivers solutions that help companies stay compliant in an evolving regulatory landscape. LINAK suppliers will be contacted by the third party management programme and LINAK expects suppliers to respond to the request by documenting compliance with the specific requirements. Collecting environmental information is a major stake for LINAK, as we also want the ability to provide this information further in our supply chain.

Conflict Minerals
LINAK requires that suppliers who provide components or materials containing conflict minerals, to actively work towards conflict-free sourcing. LINAK suppliers must perform their own RCOI and due diligence processes in order to facilitate valid and reliable conflict-free sourcing. We expect our suppliers to work with their own suppliers in the same way, to ensure traceability of conflict minerals to the originating smelters. Proposition 65 listed substances must be listed from both current and future products they deliver to LINAK.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission declares that any paint or surface coating must not contain a concentration of lead greater than 0.009 percent (90 parts per million).
Suppliers that sell paint or surface-coated parts to LINAK are obligated (where specified) to meet this regulation and must declare the concentration level of lead in their products.

IECEx / ATEX
ATEX is an EU directive governed by the EU while IECEx is a leading standard, both of which concerns requirements for equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
