1． Purpose
Canare Electric Co., Ltd. has been addressing green procurement under its environmental
philosophy : “we recognize protecting natural environment is our human’s mission and strive topreserve and improve the environment through our business activities”.
This guideline describes the standard and the evaluation method for our green procurement. This
purpose is for our company to promote the green procurement in cooperation with our suppliers inorder to stabilize and enhance product environment and quality.
2． Scope
2.1. Target product range
1) Products designed, manufactured and sold by Canare group2) Products designed and sold by Canare group through commissioning manufacture3) Products designed and sold by Canare group through selection and incorporation ofcommercialized products.
4) Products sold with Canare brand through Canare group’s commissioning design, development
and manufacture5) Products mediated for sales by Canare group
2.2. Target parts, materials, devices, etc.
Parts, materials, devices, etc. used in target products defined in the above 2.1 are subject to thisprocedure.
1) Parts and materials which configure cables, connectors and harness products.
2) Electric/electronic parts, semiconductor devices, print circuit boards, mechanism element, etc.
which configure electronic products.
3) Soldering materials, tape, adhesive agent and printed materials, and other ancillarysub-materials.
4) AC adapters, screws and other accessories needed to operate devices.
5) Packaging materials used to protect products during transportation.
3． Environmental requirements to items
Environmental requirements to items have been established based on national/international
environmental laws and regulations and the standards defined by our customer assembly
manufacturers.
4． Definition of terms
1) Item
It refers to a product and a part, material, and device configuring a product that is delivered byour supplier.

－2－

CEM-G02
Ver. 2.0
2) Controlled environmental substanceAmong those contained in parts, devices, materials, etc., a substance that is regarded as having
significant environmental impact on the global environment and human body.
3) Prohibited substanceA substance, the use of which is currently prohibited by law, regulations, etc., and this procedure.
4) Controlled substanceA substance, the use of which is not prohibited or restricted, however, has to be controlled properly
in consideration of environmental load, and actual status of its application needs to be monitored.
5) Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)
Substances that are likely to cause harm to human health which is announced by European
Chemicals Agency (ECHA) based on the REACH regulation (EC No. 1907/2006). Under the
REACH regulation, some of harmful substances defined in Article 57 of the regulation are
registered to Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for Authorisation (hereinafterreferred to as candidate list) when they are applicable, and some of them are selected as
authorised substances and listed in Annex XIV of REACH. This procedure refers to substances
registered in the candidate list for authorisation mentioned above. The provision of the REACH
regulation does not define the term of SVHC, however, the term is practically used.
6) Containment
It means that a substance, whether intentionally or unintentionally, is added, filled, blended oradhered in/with/to parts, materials or devices that constitute products (it also includes the casewhere a substance is unintentionally blended or adhered with/to products in the process ofprocessing).
7) Impurity
A substance contained in natural materials that cannot be technically eliminated in the process ofrefining the materials as industrial materials, or a substance produced in the process of synthesis
reaction that cannot be technically eliminated. It is called “impurity” to differentiate it from main raw
materials. When an “impurity” substance is used for the purpose of changing the characteristics of amaterial, it is treated as “contained/containment”.
8) Material
A uniform material that cannot be divided any more to achieve its intended use, or a composite
material that can be regarded as uniform.
5． Implementation and exclusion
1) For individual products, laws and regulations, industrial guidelines, and other requirements that
apply to a particular product at the point of delivery to our company should be observed as wellasthis procedure.
2) Implementation by commission manufactures
Please instruct and encourage your manufacturers including your own manufacturing functions andsecondary or lower level suppliers of parts and materials purchased by your company for
manufacture of items to be delivered to our company to implement environmental preservation－3－

CEM-G02
Ver. 2.0
activities in accordance with this guideline and ensure the requirements of the guideline aresatisfied.
3) Implementation by suppliers other than above
Please communicate this guideline to your manufacturers of items to be delivered to our company
and instruct them to implement environmental preservation activities in accordance with thisguideline. After collecting information on the achievement status of each manufacturer for thisguideline, you are kindly requested to provide it to our company.
4) Change to existing item for your reason
For any change related to this guideline (change of parts, devices, materials and manufacturing
process, etc.), please report it to us in advance.
5) As necessary, the article on green procurement may be incorporated in the basic contract, MOU,
delivery specifications, etc. individually. In such case, individual specifications will be prioritized forthe environmental requirements.
6) When implementation of this guideline cannot be accepted due to our customer’s request, thecustomer’s guideline may be used for implementing the green procurement in instead.
7) Controlled environmental substances used at the stage of research and development are notapplicable in this guideline. However, please make sure identification management so as not to
contaminate or mix your products to be delivered to us with prohibited substances.
6． Supplier survey
Our company thinks it is important judgment factor for us to select items to purchase whether or not
our suppliers actively address improvement of product and service environment and quality. For
starting and continuing procurement with a supplier, we will conduct a survey on the environmental
activities as follows. Each item is evaluated on site during our visit to your premise or in writing we
may ask you to fill out a questionnaire, etc. Please disclose the product environmental information or
how you address environmental preservation activities actively. We may ask request for
improvement or refuse procurement depending on the survey result.
1) Implementation status of environmetnal management system
2) Non-use of prohibited substances at each stage of its manufacturing process and supply chain3) System for preventing contamination of items with prohibited substances.
4) Receiving/shipment inspection and lot traceability5) Implementation status of 4M change management
6) Status of environmental management of secondary or lower level suppliers7) System for providing and controlling environmental evidences defined in the next clause 7
8) Response to nonconformity－4－

7． Environmental and quality evaluation on items
1) As to controlled environmental substances contained in items,
・Please report that the controlled values of containment prohibited substances defined in Table 1
are observed.
・Please report the usage situation for controlled substances defined in Table 2.
2) Structure for cooperation with our company
Our company requests for submission of guarantee for controlled environmental substances in ourown format, information on various chemical ingredients and ICP analysis data*1 as evidences that
items comply with this guideline.
Please submit them promptly upon request by our department in charge of the survey.
a) Guarantee for controlled environmental substances contained in products （CEM-G01-01，
Attachment 1)b) List of component substances (CEM-G01-03，Attachment 2), or information on chemical
ingredients in any of the following formats① MIL sheet( used mainly for metallic materials )② MSDS-PLUS *2( used mainly for resin materials )③ AIS *3( used mainly for parts )④ JGPSSI format *4( used mainly for parts )⑤ chemSHERPA※5
Please visit the URL listed in the notes described below and confirm the information on thesechemical ingredients, and ensure to use the latest version of the format. When suppliers have theirown format of the ingredient information, use of their format is accepted as long as the format is
consistent with the information on the controlled environmental substances defined in thisprocedure.
MSDS that describes the maker of raw materials and major component is helpful information forgrasping conditioning agent used for painting, printing, plating and surface treatment. However,there is no obligation to describe minor constituent although it is required by RoHS directive andcustomers and, therefore, it is not enough as ingredient information to verify compliance with thegreen procurement requirement.
c) ICP analysis data *1
Target material for analysis is resin, ink and paint, unless otherwise required by customers.
*1 ICP analysis data: an analysis data resulting from inductively coupled plasma - emission spectro-photometricanalysis (ICP-OES[ICP-AES]) or inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in compliance withI EC62321:2008.

CEM-G02
Ver. 2.0*2 MSDS-PLUS: a basic sheet for communicating information on chemical substances contained products,
recommended by Joint Article Management Promotion-consortium (Called as JAMP:http://www.jamp-info.com/).
This supplements MSDS and specifies “name of laws and regulations, etc.”, “containment”, “substance name”,“CAS No.”, “concentration”, and more information as material information for creation of AIS.
*3 AIS: information description format, advocated by JAMP, for disclosing and communicating information on
chemicals contained molded products.
At present, REACH is one of the most concerned environmental regulations and information sharing between
upstream/down stream users is essential for compliance with the regulation. This describes “mass”, “parts”,“materials” of molded product, and “containment, name, content and concentration of a molded product” and more
information and is used for communication to downstream users.
*4 JGPSSI format: a format, which has been agreed on by Japan Green Procurement Survey
Standardization Initiative for survey and questionnaire on content of target substance group (Called as
JGPSSI:http://www.db1.co.jp/jeita_eps/green/). Ver4.02 covers 32 substance groups.
*5 shemSHERPA
The new scheme for communication of information on chemical substances contained in products which
supersedes AIS, MSDS-PLUS, developed by METI. The information to be specified is the same as that defined in
AIS and MSDS-PLUS, and moreover, it is aimed at its development stage to become the scheme for theinternational standard, not just the national standard in Japan. From the fiscal 2016, JAMP is to operate the scheme.
Shift from AIS/MSDS-PLUS to chemSHERPA is recommended during the transition period ending at the end of
March 2018. Over 100 companies have already agreed to disseminate the new scheme.
(Each URL information was taken as of 2017/2/1)

8． Response to nonconformity
8.1 Nonconforming item
When any prohibited substance, which is defined in this guideline, contained in products, parts anddevices defined in 2.2 that are purchased for the sales purpose appears to exceed its thresholdvalue (whether intentionally or unintentionally), it is treated as nonconforming item. When asubstance not listed in this procedure has been apparently defined as a prohibited substance due tochange of the legal and other requirements, the substance is treated as a nonconforming item in thesame way.
8.2 Action to take for nonconformity
When an nonconformity occurs, or possibility of occurrence is recognized, suppliers should report itto Canare immediately and take measures to prevent reoccurrence in a thorough manner, e.g.
handling of actual item, cause investigation, survey of impact/spread, review of internal rules andregulations.
When occurrence of nonconformity has caused damage to us, we may ask you to bear the
expenses for the damage.
In such case, actions to be taken will be determined through consultation between the supplier andour company.
