Full compliance with the most stringent global standards

We continually research and qualify exciting new products to bring to our customers. Our extensive portfolio of networking connectivity includes compatibility for both legacy and cutting edge technologies - all of which come fully certified from the following regulatory agencies.

ISO Certificate

ISO International Standards ensure that products and services are safe, reliable and of good quality. For businesses, they are strategic tools that reduce costs by minimizing waste and errors and increasing productivity. They help companies to access new markets, level the playing field for developing countries and facilitate free and fair global trade.

Trade Agreements Act (TAA)

GSA Schedule Contracts are subject to the Trade Agreements Act (TAA), meaning all products listed on the GSA Schedule Contract must be manufactured or “substantially transformed” in the United States or a TAA “designated country”. The designated countries are composed of:

- World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement Countries
- Free Trade Agreement Countries
- Least Developed Countries
- Caribbean Basin Countries

RoHS

RoHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances, and impacts the entire electronics industry and many electrical products as well. The original RoHS, also known as Directive 2002/95/EC, originated in the European Union in 2002 and restricts the use of six hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products. All applicable products in the EU market since July 1, 2006 must pass RoHS compliance.

Directive 2011/65/EU was published in 2011 by the EU, which is known as RoHS-Recast or RoHS 2. RoHS 2 includes a CE-marking directive, with RoHS compliance now being required for CE marking of products. RoHS 2 also added Categories 8 and 9, and has additional compliance recordkeeping requirements.

CE

CE marking is a mandatory conformity marking for certain products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA) since 1985. The CE marking is also found on products sold outside the EEA that are manufactured in, or designed to be sold in, the EEA. This makes the CE marking recognizable worldwide even to people who are not familiar with the European Economic Area. It is in that sense similar to the FCC Declaration of Conformity used on certain electronic devices sold in the United States.

The CE marking is the manufacturer's declaration that the product meets the requirements of the applicable EC directives.

WEEE

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) is the European Community directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) which, together with the RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC, became European Law in February 2003. The WEEE Directive set collection, recycling and recovery targets for all types of electrical goods, with a minimum rate of 4 kilograms per head of population per annum recovered for recycling by 2009. The RoHS Directive set restrictions upon European manufacturers as to the material content of new electronic equipment placed on the market.

NEBS

Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) compliance is required by the Telecommunications Carrier Group (TCG) to confirm the reliability, safety, and quality of a vendor’s telecommunications equipment. AddOn optical transceivers are NEBS Level 3 certified, which indicates that the products and equipment operate at optimum capacity while also protecting the safety of the personnel who operate it.

Better Business Bureau

For more than 100 years, Better Business Bureau has been helping people find businesses, brands and charities they can trust. In 2016, people turned to BBB more than 167 million times for BBB Business Profiles on more than 5.2 million businesses and Charity Reports on 11,000 charities, all available for free at bbb.org. The Council of Better Business Bureaus is the umbrella organization for the local, independent BBBs in the United States, Canada and Mexico, as well as home to its national and international programs on dispute resolution, advertising review, and industry self-regulation.

Lean Six Sigma Continuous Improvement

The disciplined data-driven Six Sigma methodology means a mitigation of defects in the AddOn manufacturing process. In addition to those benefits, AddOn uses Six Sigma to continually drive process improvement to make certain to fulfill customers needs as efficiently as possible.

Multi-Source Agreement (MSA)

AddOn follows general MSA Standard coding practices by modifying appropriate fields based on form factor, technology type, capabilities, distance, wavelength, vendor name, part number, serial number, data, OUI, etc. and write data to EEPROM on each device.

Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)

REACH is a regulation of the European Union, adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals.

TUV

TUV certify the safety standard compliance and qualifications of products, management systems, manufacturing processes, and personnel.
