1.

Purpose of survey
In order to place FDK products which comply with the requirement of FDK group specified
chemical substances list (hereinafter called “FDK list”) on the market, FDK aims to grasp
chemical information of procured products and their packaging by using this survey, and preventfrom containing the banned chemical substances demanded by the market in FDK products.

system in the CAS (Chemical Abstract Service) which was established by the American
Chemical Society. It is also called as a CAS number.
(17) Component
A component is a portion of a part and is made of such material that cannot be separated into

Survey contents
FDK will request suppliers to submit following documents about information of containing
chemical substances in procured products and their packaging to FDK, so suppliers should
submit following applicable documents.
a) Certificate of Products contained chemical substancesb) Questioners of contained chemical substances provided by JAMP (Joint Article Management
Promotion-Consortium): select chemSHERPA-AI or chemSHERPA-CIc) Components constituent tabled) Confirmation of change of FDK group specified chemical substances liste) Confirmation of change of chemSHERPA
f) Certificate of no containing specific substancesg) Subsidiary documents (E.g. Analysis report, SDS or so)

6.

How to fill and submit the survey documents
Suppliers should fill and submit the survey documents according to following procedures.
a) Certificate of Products contained chemical substances (see appendix 1)
All supplier should guarantee that chemical substances in procured products and theirpackaging to FDK satisfy the requirement specified in FDK list. If some suppliers have theirown standard of product contained chemical substances, and procured products meet to the
supplier’s standard, FDK will regard the products provided by such suppliers also meet to
FDK’s standard. (We believe the essential is not some differences between FDK’s andsupplier’s standard but the activity and effort allow our products complying environmental
provision such as RoHS, REACH, POPs or so.)In addition, all supplier should guarantee the obligation to report if procured products
contain SVHC candidate materials or may be influenced by certain change like 4M change.
Hence, basically, all supplier should provide this document just once when our businessstarted. (Such supplier that did not yet provide this document in the past should provide to
FDK.)1) Fill in company name and company seal
2) Fill in address, name of representative (signature), contact name (signature), department
name and phone number.
3) Send by paper or digital form (PDF)b) Questioners of contained chemical substances provided by JAMP: select chemSHERPA-AI
or chemSHERPA-CI
All suppliers should submit this form for reporting condition of contained chemical
substances in procured products and their packaging to FDK as referring below.
1) Use chemSHERPA-AI for assembling parts or components and use chemSHERPA-CI
6 / 10Survey Manual for Products Contained Chemical Substances Ver.4

for raw material, material and chemical material.
2) The form of both chemSHERPA-AI and chemSHERPA-CI can be downloaded fromfollowing URL
JAMP (Joint Article Management Promotion-Consortium): https://chemsherpa.net/
3) Send back data file of chemSHERPA by e-mail after converting to XML format.
Note: Addition of compliance information is voluntary.
c) Components constituent table (see appendix 2)
As a questioner of contained chemical substances, chemSHERPA is the official form,
however Components constituent table is permitted to provide in only unavoidable
circumstance after discussion with FDK.
According to the sample form of appendix 2, fill in necessary information.
Note: Following documents should be provided just when FDK will ask submission.
d) Confirmation of change of FDK group specified chemical substances list (see appendix 3-1)e) Confirmation of change of chemSHERPA (see appendix 3-2)
The version of both FDK list and chemSHERPA would be revised regularly. In case ofrevision, FDK will send important change notice to suppliers, please confirm the change
notice and send back information to FDK.
If nothing is applicable to the change notice in procured products, send buck of information
is not always necessary, however, in this case, FDK will regard the supplier guarantees
confirming the change notice and guarantees also no applicable substances in products.
f)

Certificate of no containing specific substances (see appendix 4)This document is certificate of no containing specific substances in procured products andwill be requested when certain restricted substances will be published by EU commission orother legal organization. Quick respond is appreciated when FDK may ask suppliersubmitting this document.
Basically, substances which are listed in FDK list are not the target substances of thiscertificate.

g) Subsidiary documents (Analysis report, SDS or so)
FDK may request suppliers to provide such subsidiary documents like the analysis report orSDS if necessary, so great assistance of suppliers is appreciated.
