1. Objective
The objective Rinnai Chemical Substance Policy is to achieve compliance of Rinnai-group(hereafter, Rinnai) supplied products with regulations, by informing suppliers about thechemical substance restricted due to its environment or human health effects.
In this policy, the chemical substance refers to the substance present in or released fromitems delivered to Rinnai (hereafter, present substance).
This policy is an appendix of Rinnai Green Procurement Standards (hereafter, EProcurement Standards).
