1. Scope
The Standards herein apply to all parts, materials, indirect materials, packaging materials, and other supplies
that make up the products we procure and to the suppliers who deliver these items to us.
The Standards herein also apply to Suppliers commissioned with the assembly and processing (molding,surface treatment, etc.) of parts and materials.
[Examples of applicable parts and materials]• Parts, units, materials, and accessories to products (such as their operating manuals).
• Indirect materials used for products (adhesive tapes, soldering materials, adhesives, inks, etc.). Indirectmaterials also include indirect materials that may adhere to or remain in products.

2. Terms and Definitions
1) Inclusion
This term means the addition, mixing, or adhesion of substances to parts and materials constituting ourproducts, whether intentional or not. The term also refers to those unintentionally generated in manufacturing
processes.
2) Intentional addition
This term means intentionally including substances in parts and materials for such purposes as improved
performance or modified characteristics. Besides, the pertinent substances used for such purposes as
manufacturing processes and undoubtedly included in final products are also deemed examples of intentionaladdition.
3) Impurities
This term refers either to substances included in natural raw materials and technically impossible to remove
completely by a refining process or to substances generated in a reaction process and technically impossible toremove completely.
4) Threshold value (allowable concentration)
This term refers to the maximum allowable value of the content or contained concentration of a chemical
substance included in a part or material. For composite parts containing more than one raw material (material)in their parts, the contained concentration of the target substance shall be its concentration in the homogeneous
raw material (homogeneous materials) rather than the value determined with the whole part as thedenominator.
5) Mixture
A mixture is two or more different substances that are mixed without changing their properties but can stillbe separated (crystallized, distilled, sublimated, filtered, or otherwise isolated) without using any othersubstance.
6) JAPIA Standard Material Datasheet
A component survey data sheet standardized by the Japan Auto Parts Industries Association (JAPIA).
7) IMDS (International Material Data System)
A system operated with a membership of major automotive manufacturers worldwide to collect and manage
information on materials and chemical substances.
8) GADSL (Global Automotive Declarable Substance List)
A declarable substances list used in the global automotive industry. See: http://www.gadsl.org/-2-9) chemSHERPA CI
chemSHERPA-CI is the basic information communication sheet recommended by the Ministry of Economy,
Trade and Industry and operated by JAMP to communicate information on chemical substances in products(substances/mixtures).
10) chemSHERPA AI
chemSHERPA AI is the basic information communication sheet recommended by the Ministry of Economy,
Trade and Industry and operated by JAMP to communicate information on chemical substances in molded
articles.

3. Matters to be Complied WithAs a rule, we do not purchase parts and materials containing prohibited substances other than exempted
substances in Table 1 and reportable substances in Tables 6 and 8.
In addition, we shall establish Environmentally Hazardous Substances Control Standards, which Suppliers
shall comply with. If presented by Customers to whom we make deliveries with their own Environmentally
Hazardous Substances Control Standards, Suppliers shall also comply accordingly.
1) Compliance with the Suncall Environmentally Hazardous Substances Control Standards• Raw materials, parts, products, and indirect materials (if adhesive to products) we procure, chemical
substances included in packaging materials, and chemical substances used at the manufacturing stageshall be classified into “Prohibited (with exemptions),” “Scheduled for prohibition,” and “Reportable” asin Table 1 and controlled accordingly.
• Even for substances that fall into a control category other than “Prohibited,” laws or regulations
effective, if any, in the delivery destination country or region (in cases of overseas delivery or the like)shall be complied with.
<<Table 1: Control categories and their definitions>>
Control category

Prohibited

Exempted

Scheduled forprohibition

Reportable

Definition• No inclusion exceeding the threshold value is allowed in the delivery items.
• Substances with a designated due date and already past the due date must not be includedin the delivery items by more than the threshold value.
• Substances with intentional additions, even below the threshold value, shall be deemed“Prohibited.”• For certain limited applications, inclusion in the delivery items is not prohibited.
• Intentional additions shall be deemed and reported by exception as inclusions when equal
to or more than allowable concentrations.
• Any substance with a specified expiration date of the exemption period shall always bereported to us before the expiration date. A transition date shall always be determinedthrough mutual consultation to complete the transition procedure.
• For substances near the expiration date of the exemption period, the transition procedure
shall be completed by the due date.
• In addition, any substance with a specified expiration date of the exemption period shallalways be reported to us before the expiration date. A transition date shall always be
determined through mutual consultation to complete the transition procedure.
• Substances with intentional additions, even below the threshold value, shall be deemed"Scheduled for prohibition."• Intentional additions in delivery items shall be reported to us.
• Impurities and other non-intentional inclusions equal to or more than their allowable
concentrations shall be reported to us.

-3-2) Surveying and reporting of environmentally hazardous substances• For products, parts, materials, indirect materials, packaging materials, and other supplies delivered to us,
Suppliers are asked to submit filled-out survey sheets, reports, or any other documents onenvironmentally hazardous substances information based on the Standards herein whenever requested to
do so. Submission forms to be used shall be basically as in <<Table 2: Submission Forms forEnvironmentally Hazardous Substances Information>> and shall be specified at the time of survey
request. Responding using a form other than those in Table 2 may be allowed in some cases.
• When finding that any prohibited substance is included in items delivered or to be delivered to us,
Suppliers shall immediately report to us.
• Information submitted to us shall be shared in-house and used for our in-house chemical substances
control and responses to our Customers’ requests for surveys and may be disclosed to third parties as ourproducts’ information for legal compliance.

3) Management of information at points of change
When any of the following changes to environmentally hazardous substances information becomesapparent, the corresponding Submission Forms shall be revised immediately to communicate theinformation to our contact department accordingly:(i) New control target substances (such as SVHC) are added to the List for a cause such as a law change.
(ii) Any error is found in the content of communicated information (substance’s content, materialinformation, etc.).

(iii) Any change has occurred in the content of communicated information from an upstream company orcompanies (your supplier(s)).
(iv) Occurrence of a 4M change. If the change item falls under (i) Design Change, (ii) Material Change, (iii)
Production Site Change, or (iv) Process/Manufacturing Condition Change, regardless of the control
category, a follow-up or review shall be conducted to re-submit the substance data.
