Management system for chemical substances in products

Yamabiko Corporation's products are made up of a large number of parts, and thus they contain a variety of chemical substances. Various countries have established laws regulating the appropriate management of these substances. The EU forbids the inclusion of specified chemical substances in products through the RoHS directive (note 1) and REACH regulation (note 2), and it also mandates the communication of information in the supply chain. There is a requirement for the disclosure of presence of specified chemical substances in Japan as well.
Note 1: the RoHS directive: A directive restricting the use of specified harmful substances in electric and electronic devices in the EU.
Note 2: REACH regulation: A chemical substance regulation to protect the environment and people's health in the EU.

We have installed a chemical substance management software, selected high-risk parts and are collecting and confirming material composition data from business partners in order to enrich our database of chemical substances in products.
We are also in the process of concluding an agreement on chemical substances and minerals in products with business partners in Japan and elsewhere so that they can deliver materials based on our desired specifications.
The Yamabiko Group will expand the building and operation of a management system for chemical substances in products not only within the Group but to business partners as well and manufacture products that satisfy global regulations for chemical substances in order to contribute to reducing the burden on the environment.

We have these other initiatives as well.
