Quality policies at Lika Electronic
Quality policy has always been of highest priority for Lika Electronic.
Lika is every day committed to develop and manufacture products that are recognized by
customers and the industry for their high quality and performances.
Quality policy statement has been established since 1997 when Lika Electronic was first
certified to ISO 9001:1994. Nowadays Lika Electronic is certified to ISO 9001:2008
compliant quality management system. It attests that Lika Electronic places the utmost
importance in the quality, safety and reliability of its products and every day aims at ensuring
the full satisfaction of customer’s needs.
This is achieved by continuously developing new products that implement the most advanced
technologies and can easily meet customers and markets requirements; by enhancing
both internal and suppliers’ processes for continual improvement of the system and the
assurance of conformity; and by always meeting the regulations and complying early with
future standards. All production and manufacturing processes as well as company management
activities are involved in quality assurance and enhancement: from purchasing to
goods receipt, from manufacturing to technical, from sales to account departments.
With the same purpose and even if not binding with this directive, Lika Electronic is committed
to comply with Directive 1907/2006/EC, usually referred to as REACH. REACH is
the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use. It deals with the
Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical substances. The law entered
into force on 1 st June 2007.
The aim of REACH is to improve the protection of human health and the environment
through the better and earlier identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances
and progressive substitution of the most dangerous chemicals when suitable alternatives
have been identified.
All Lika encoders are CE compliant and fully meet the requirements of the EMC European
Directives as well as the recent Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS2).
All Lika encoders comply with the Directive 2002/95/EC, usually referred to as RoHS, i.e.
Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, since 2006.
The RoHS directive aims to restrict certain dangerous substances commonly used in electronic
equipment.
Any RoHS compliant component is attested to be free from the presence of Lead (Pb), Cadmium
(Cd), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent chromium (Hex-Cr), Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).
This means that in all Lika products maximum concentrations of the afore-mentioned substances
are under the restrictive limits permitted by this Directive.
July 2011 the new Directive 2011/65/EU, sometimes referred to as RoHS2, was published by
the European Commission. The main point to consider is that the RoHS directive is now a
CE-marking Directive. This means that compliance with RoHS Directive is required in order
to place the CE mark on any product.
Lika Electronic declares that all products are here and now RoHS2 compliant and therefore
they are allowed to bear the CE mark.
