Omitted.
4. Certification Criteria and Certification Procedure
4-1. Environmental Criteria and Certification Procedure(1) The product shall be a deck plate that forms a fireproof structure floor in which
resource saving of such materials as a steel material, concrete, form, refractorymaterial, etc. is made. Specifically, it shall be a deck plate for deck composite slabs, anamount of concrete to be used in construction shall be equivalent to or lower than thatof a product of same type (deck plate whose shape such as the number of ridges per unit
width or height of deck is almost equivalent, as the case may be), and it shall haveobtained the floor fireproof structure certification of the Minister of Land,
Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in the following specification conditions, as an
uncoated fireproof structure:- Supporting conditions: Continuous support or simple support- Allowable span: 2.5 m (or longer than that)- Allowable live load:

Live load indicated in Article 85, Building Standards Act,

Enforcement Order (or more)- Fire-resistant reinforcing bar: Not required.
[Certification Procedure]
The applicant shall indicate in the Attached Certificate whether or not the productcomplies with this item, and submit a description of materials needed in construction
and a certificate (including the scope) that the product has obtained the official
certification (Minister certification) as a fireproof structure.

138D-2 V1 Criteria(2) Board thickness of the deck plate shall be thinner than the thickness of 1.2 mm. In
addition, the product weight shall be made lighter than a product of similar type.
[Certification Procedure]
The applicant shall indicate in the Attached Certificate whether or not the productcomplies with this item, and submit a reference material about the product weightand board thickness.
(3) The product shall consider an amount and energy consumption of a new resource tobe committed that becomes necessary in the manufacturing phase.
[Certification Procedure]
The applicant shall indicate in the Attached Certificate whether or not the productcomplies with this item, and submit a reference material indicating an amount andenergy consumption of a new resource to be committed per ton of crude steel in themanufacturing phase.
(4) For the composition of metal materials, the product shall use a material having
general components in Japan, assuming that it will be recycled to a material of same
system after being used. In addition, no different alloy types that are difficult toseparate and select (e.g., SUS 304 and SUS 316, etc.) shall be used in combination.
[Certification Procedure]
The applicant shall indicate in the Attached Certificate whether or not the productcomplies with this item, and state JIS number under which a metal material falls,
and a material name of alloy types to be used in the product.
(5) The product shall minimize consumption of rare metals (31 types of minerals
defined by the Rare Metal Overall Measure Special Subcommittee of the Mining
Industry Council of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) whenever possible.
(The chemical components of metal materials shall follow JIS under which the productfalls. Of major elements to be added to ensure fire-resistance performance, for any
alloy elements that are not specified in JIS, their additive amounts shall be equivalent
to or lower than the amount of other rare metals specified in JIS.)[Certification Procedure]
The applicant shall indicate in the Attached Certificate whether or not the productcomplies with this item, and submit an example of chemical component table of ametal material. If any rare metal is used, the applicant shall indicate whether or not
the product complies with this item, and exemplify a case that they are making
efforts to control consumption of the rare metal, or the chemical component of alloy

follows JIS. Of major elements to be added to ensure fire-resistance performance, for
any alloy elements that are not specified in JIS, the applicant shall exemplify a casethat their additive amounts shall be equivalent to or lower than the amount of otherrare metals specified in JIS(6) The product shall be accompanied by a manual relating to installation, use,maintenance/management, disassembly, disposal and recycling is available for readingby the builder and the building owner. In addition, any information necessary fordesigning/construction, such as an intended purpose of the deck plate, scope of fire
resistance certification (allowable live load, allowable span, supporting conditions),
specifications of major construction materials, etc. shall be clearly indicated.
[Certification Procedure]
The applicant shall indicate in the Attached Certificate whether or not the productcomplies with this item,

and a sample of a manual relating to installation, use,maintenance/management, disassembly, disposal and recycling shall be submitted.
Regarding a part of the product’s lifecycle from installation to recycling which is notincluded in the manual, the reason shall be indicated.
(7) In manufacturing the applied product, related environmental laws and regulations
and pollution control agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “Environmental Laws,etc.”) must be followed with respect to air pollution, water contamination, noise,offensive odor, and emission of hazardous substances in the area where the plant
performing the final manufacturing process is located.
In addition, the state of compliance with the Environmental Laws, etc. for the past five
years from the date of application (whether there is any violation) must be reported. If
there is any violation, proper remedies and preventive measures shall have beenalready taken, and the related Environmental Laws, etc. must thereafter be followed
appropriately.
[Certification Procedure]With respect to the compliance with the Environmental Laws, etc. in the area where
the plant performing the final manufacturing process is located, a certificate issued
by the representative of the business of manufacturing the applied product or therelevant plant manager (entry or attachment of a list of names of the EnvironmentalLaws, etc.) must be submitted. (Entry example 3)
In addition, the applicants shall report whether there is any violation in the past fiveyears, including a violation subject to administrative punishment or administrative
guidance, and if there is, the following documents in a and b must be submitted:
