Navigating government compliance when it comes to rare earth elements for permanent magnets can be confusing. Besides the usual requirements for ITAR and DFARS, there are additional regulations from the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)/John McCain Act, as well as licensing pitfalls to avoid. In this webinar, we’ll review terms, explain the various regulations and help you learn where to find regulation and legislation, points data should be protected, and properly vet suppliers to ensure your relationship with your aerospace, defense and government customers is protected.
Overview
As our world continues to shrink and information is shared more easily between countries you must still be aware of regulations when sharing and protecting that data. We live in a time of economic uncertainty and in a period where cybersecurity awareness is at an all-time high. Making sure to protect your data along with sharing data through the proper avenues is very important.
On top of cyber comes trade and export regulation at a time when we depend upon other countries for critical materials. We will take a look at some of the export regulations pertaining to electromagnetics and permanent magnetics making sure to be responsible before any type of export.
Lastly the presentation will go into detail on more recent legislation dealing with where we source critical rare earth elements and materials for aerospace and defense applications. It is very important to know where to find the definitions and what options you have in the near, medium and long term in order to make sure you put in place the proper sourcing structures for these materials.
The presentation will wrap up with a short Q&A as time permits.
