Puede
haber situaciones en las que, al evitar pagos de facilitación
o coimas, se ponga en riesgo la seguridad personal de
nuestros asociados (o sus familias).
Un proveedor u otro tercero:
• solicita que se efectúen pagos a una cuenta
bancaria personal o en el extranjero;
• carece de experiencia en el producto, el área o la
industria, o no tiene personal calificado;
• se opone a dar una declaración detallada del
trabajo.

These
additive solutions create a char or gas that
reduces oxygen at the source of flame, leading to
components that become self-extinguishing, and
potentially lowering the heat release rate over time.

Low-activity amputees—level K2

Resin impregnated,
continuous glass fibers are drawn through a curing die of a specific cross section, yielding consistent quality,
dimensions and mechanical properties to provide more consistent spring rates than alternate materials.
