Micron requires its Suppliers to source conflict minerals from smelters validated (or on the
path to validation) as compliant with conflict-free sourcing standards like the Conflict Free
Smelter Program. Micron also executes due diligence on the source and chain of custody
of conflict minerals in its supply chain in conformance with the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply
Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas OECD Due Diligence
Guidance, encourages Suppliers to adopt responsible sourcing practices, and collaborates
with industry stakeholders through the Responsible Mineral Initiative. To further
transparency in the conflict mineral supply chain, Micron publicly reports the results of its
due diligence annually and shares its due diligence results directly with its customers.

5.6.3.6 Periodic STC and SPC data review of parameters shall include
calculated Cp and Cpk values for any parameter captured in a Product or
Material Specification. All defined key/control parameters shall meet a
minimum Cpk @ 1.33 and Cpk @ 1.67 for Automotive and critical Direct
Materials. For parameters that do not meet these required Cpk values,
then improvement plans are required.
5.6.3.7 All certified analysis will be done from the shipping container or as close
to the end of the production line as possible depending on the material or
product.
Micron’s expectation is that all Suppliers have systematic controls in place to detect
and prevent shipment of maverick material or product. Micron recommends
referencing JESD50C for a definition of maverick product. No maverick product
can be shipped to Micron or Micron Subcontractors without prior approval or
authorization from Micron.
5.7.2 Direct materials or products received at any Micron site which are non-conforming
to the requirements contained in a Micron Material Product Specification or other
Quality specification, will be rejected by Micron. Micron, as the customer, may
issue a Supplier Quality Notification (“SQN”). Please refer to Section 6 for the
details of this process.
5.7.2.2 Costs incurred by Micron that are attributed to poor Supplier Product
quality may be charged back to the Supplier, as agreed upon by the
parties in an applicable agreement.

and addressing non-conforming Product. The following are examples of the
processes or methods that may be used at Micron locations to identify or detect
non-conforming Product:
• In-process SPC
• MPE
• SQN
5.10 Traceability
Suppliers shall have a documented process and/or procedure established that provides
identification and traceability on goods or services provided to Micron. Micron’s
expectation is that Suppliers can trace material from incoming raw materials through to
outgoing capturing production tooling and processing information. If agreed upon, it would
be expected that both forward and backward traceability be captured, through serialization,
symbolization, or some other appropriate method.
5.10.1 Unless otherwise agreed upon by Micron, full identification information is required
on the product label.
5.10.2 Each product, manufacturing lot or batch shall be identified with a unique identifier.
5.10.3 This identifier shall have complete traceability through the supplier manufacturing

shall only submit PPAP packages upon qualification completion and production
release. Each Supplier is responsible for meeting all requirements before
submission to Micron, including obtaining Micron approvals for any change
requests.
5.11.6 Supplier submission of a non-conforming or late PPAP package will be recorded as
a Supplier performance failure and could affect the Supplier’s performance
scorecard rating. Micron will determine the level of PPAP submission and any
special requirements, if applicable.
5.11.7 When applicable, Suppliers shall include in the PPAP submission the Engineering
Specification (“ES”) test plan and the ES test results. An approved/accredited
laboratory shall conduct the ES tests.

stream. Suppliers to Micron shall ensure they audit and manage critical processes
such as heat treating and plating and when directed, use the required format.
Special process audits are to follow the AIAG CQI-9 Heat Treat System
Assessment), CQI-11 (Plating System Assessment), CQI-12 (Coating System
Assessment), CQI-15 (Welding System Assessment) and CQI-17 (Soldering
System Assessment) requirements. These sub-tier supplier certifications and /or
self-assessments must be maintained and shared with Micron upon request.
Action plans to address gaps are to be tracked and shared when required.
6.4.4 Sub-tier Suppliers have a tremendous impact on the quality of the final component.
Whether they provide materials, services or sub-components their influence is so
profound that it is critical for each of Micron’s Suppliers to communicate all of
Micron requirements to their Suppliers and have a supplier performance monitoring
plan in place to ensure compliance. This system shall include a function that
tracks and reports the quality and delivery performance of their sub-tier supply
base. Suppliers may be requested to demonstrate the effective management of
sub-tier Suppliers through documented corrective actions and verification activities.
• A LOW severity SQN is used to document individual incidents but does not
require a root cause analysis or formal corrective action plan from the Supplier.
Multiple or systemic low severity incidents can result in escalation to a medium
or high severity SQN. A Low severity request will typically be automatically
closed and documented for future reference. Micron may choose to initiate a
Global 8D (“G8D” or “8-D”) response from the Supplier for documentation
purposes.
