Confirmation of Raw Material (Chemical) Safety and Provision of Information to Customers

The Group confirms the safety of the chemicals (including materials) during the selection phase of procurement in an effort to improve product safety. The Group also provides information to customers.

Confirmation of the Safety of Chemicals Used

The safety of chemicals used is ensured by means of a Pre-use Evaluation System and Information Updating System.

Pre-use Evaluation System

When considering the use of a new chemical, the Oji Group conducts a pre-use assessment by checking laws and regulations, hazard information, and green procurement by major industry associations, etc. using proprietary pre-use evaluation sheets and makes a determination whether the chemical can be used.

Information Updating System

Chemical substance management regimes are being strengthened in Japan and overseas, and accordingly, the Group regularly updates evaluation sheets and information by regularly evaluating chemicals in use and confirms their safety.

Response to Legal Revisions and New Hazard Information

In the event that information on revisions to laws and regulations concerning chemical substances or new hazard information is reported for raw materials currently used in our products, we will consider alternatives for those that we have determined we should not continue to use from the standpoint of safety.
For example, for D4 and D6, which are designated as monitoring chemical substances under the Law Concerning the Evaluation of Chemical Substances and Regulation of Their Manufacture, etc., the relevant raw materials are subject to alternative management, and we are working to change them.

Provision of information to customers

The Group responds to customer inquiries based on safety information for various chemicals verified using the Pre-use Evaluation System and the Information Updating System.Responses to customer inquiries are made using Research Reports*1, Article Information Sheets (AIS)*2,Safety Data Sheets (SDS)*3 and other information.
