PRBA
Micro Power is a member of PRBA. In June of 1991, five major rechargeable battery manufacturers - Energizer, Matsushita Battery Industrial of America (Panasonic), SAFT America, SANYO Energy (U.S.A.) Corporation and Varta Batteries - established a nonprofit trade association, the Portable Rechargeable Battery Association (PRBA). A key focus for PRBA is to respond to the growing need for workable battery recycling programs by developing plans that can be utilized industry wide. To that end, PRBA members established pilot recycling programs in New Jersey, Minnesota and Vermont. Based on the success of these pilot programs, PRBA developed a public education and battery recycling program to be implemented nationally. This program is administered by the industry funded Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), an independent, nonprofit public service organization.
ITAR
Micro Power is ITAR-compliant. The International Traffic in Arms Regulations is a set of United States government regulations that control the export and import of defense-related articles and services on the United States Munitions List. These regulations implement the provisions of the Arms Export Control Act and are described in Title 22 (Foreign Relations), Chapter I (Department of State) Subchapter M of the Code of Federal Regulations. The Department of State interprets and enforces ITAR. Its goal is to advance national strategic objectives and U.S. foreign policy via the trade controls.
SMBUS
SMBus is the System Management Bus defined by Intel® Corporation in 1995. It is used in personal computers and servers for low-speed system management communications.
