5

(o) Note

Please fill that in about the item which cannot be indicated for the reasons of the trade secrets

of the information about composition parts etc.

(3) Chemical substances survey（２）

It is investigation about the situation of the chemistry substance of fundamental information investigation.

Please input in principle all the substances that constitute the object item.

(a) Amount Contained

Enter the amount of chemical substance contained per the unit set in item (h) Unit, in the Basic

Information Survey.（Integer maximum size ten、Decimal point ten and below、enter it in milligrams and round off

after the ten digit.）

(b) Application

The application is the component of the part that contains the chemical substance subject to the

survey. Enter the name of the application containing the substance for which you indicated the

amount contained in (a).

For the name of the application, enter the name used in specifications and diagrams, your usual

term, or the general name for the application.

･When the item covered by the survey is a single electronic part or other part, the component is

the item recorded on the diagram of the part concerned or the composition materials list.

E.g. 1) Ceramic material, internal electrode, or external electrode in a layered ceramic capacitor

E.g. 2) Lead wire, electrolytic solution, sealing material, or electrode foil in electrolytic capacitors

E.g. 3) Rubber contact points, springs, plastic covers for switches

･When the item covered by the survey is a machinery product or assembly electronic part, the

usage part is the item recorded on the diagram of the part (product) concerned, or the parts list.

E.g. Layered ceramic capacitor, electrolytic capacitor, printed circuit board, or solder for assembly

(c) Purpose of Use

Enter the purpose of use for the substance contained, and other reasons for using that substance, in simple terms.

E.g. 1) Stabilizer, plasticizer, coloring, flame retardant, rust preventative, solder ingredient, etc.

E.g. 2) Main ingredient, heat stability improvement, electrical characteristic improvement,

mechanical characteristic improvement, etc.

E.g. 3) Impurity (when it is clear that it was not intentionally added), etc.

6

4.Notes for Survey of Chemical Substances Contained

(1) Concept of "Contained"

In principle, when the substance was intentionally added or is clearly present, the substance is

considered to be contained regardless of the amount. When the substance was not

intentionally added it is treated as an impurity. You are asked to record all possible impurities

that can be measured.

(2) Calculation of Amount Contained

Indicate the amount contained using the amount under control, or the theoretical, calculated,

designed amount, or actually measured. When there is variation in the amount contained in

a manufacturing lot, indicate the maximum amount, in principle.

Furthermore, the calculation of the amount contained in a part applies to the amount of

chemical substance contained in the purchased components or materials that make up the

part, as well as the amount contained in the manufacturing process. Retracing the

purchased ones for the amount back to its supplier, determine this and enter the results.

(3) Amount Contained in Metals and their Compounds

For the amounts contained for metals and their alloys, enter the figure calculated for the amount of metal element.

Note 1: For the metal conversion coefficients for compounds that are not

included on the Example Substance List, calculate after checking

the atomic weight using a chemical substance handbook.

E.g. 1: To find the amount of antimony contained for a component containing 100 mg of

antimony trioxide (Sb2O3), multiply by the conversion coefficient 0.835.

Antimony amount = 100 mg 0.835 = 83.5 mg Æ 84 mg

(4) Chemical Substances used in Processes

Do not include any solvents or washing solutions used in the manufacturing process when

they do not remain in the product due to their volatility.

However, in cases where substances from the Survey Substance List are intentionally used

in the manufacturing process, be careful as many of them are non-volatile and may remain

in the product.

(5) When the same substance falls under more than one survey substance group,amounts

contained for each group.

e.g. If the article contains lead chromate, indicate the amount of lead and hexavalent

chromium contained for both "Lead and its compounds" and "Chromium VI

compounds. "

7

(6) Ozone-layer Depleting Substances

There are two types of ozone depleting substance surveys: the survey of substances used in

the manufacturing process, and the survey of substances contained in the product. Respond

to the survey of substances used in the manufacturing process by referring to section 3. (1) (k)

Use of Ozone-depleting Substances in Manufacturing Process, and respond to the survey of

substances contained in the product by referring to section 3. (2) (a) Amount Contained.

(7) Bromide Flame retardants (excluding PBBs and PBDEs)

For the amounts contained in bromide Flame retardants (excluding PBBs and PBDEs) provide

either the CAS No. or ISO 1043-4 code.If entering the ISO 1043-4 code, the CAS No. need not be provided.

(8) Radioactive Substances

If a radioactive substance has been intentionally added, indicate the radiation level (in

becquerels (bq)) rather than the amount.

5.Input Rule

(1) About the reserve 4 of investigated place information

It is the item to set up in order that an surveyed company may discriminate the maker of an surveying company.

Do not make entries or changes here.

(2) About the parts number and parts name of Basic Information Survey

When you fill in a part number or a part name, please be sure to fill both in.

(3) About Composition information

When there is entry in addition to the part number of basic information investigation, and part name,

please be sure to fill in composition part and part weight.

(4) About weight (content)

The sum total value of investigation unit mass, part weight, and a chemistry substance content must be

in agreement with the weight of a higher rank.

･part mass must be made into the sum total value of part weight 100% (coincidence).

･Part weight must be made into the sum total value of the contained substance 100% (coincidence).

Note：Parts mass (10g) = Composition part weight sum total (10000mg) = chemistry substance content sum total (10000mg)

Note：Parts mass is the "g" input. Part weight and a content are the "mg" inputs.

(5) About cancellation of content chemistry substance investigation

Even if it performs preservation (JGP output), when there is no input in fundamental information

investigation and only the substance is written, contents chemistry substance information is not outputted.

(6) New-line

Please do not perform a new-line within a cell by all input items.
