Environmental Hazardous Substance Management

Management of all process and raw material conformity approvals for products, and the management and monitoring of environmental hazardous substance statements

LX Semicon is a fabless company with no production facilities. Considering the business characteristic of producing products through external partners, LX Semicon reflects customer requirements and international standards in advance in its hazardous substance standards and implements hazardous substance management for various raw and subsidiary materials used by suppliers in production based on these standards

When developing or mass-producing new products, activities to comply with international standards for hazardous substances are monitored in the SCS (Supplier Collaboration System) to manage hazardous substances in real time. Also, procedures are established to prevent suppliers from approving products if they fail to comply with the company's standards

Periodic Quality System Audits (QSA) of outsourced suppliers are conducted to ensure compliance with our hazardous substance standards and international regulations, driving corrective actions and continuous improvements
