The List of Environment-Related Substances

Transcription

1 Page 1 / 7 The List of EnvironmentRelated Substances * For Q&A about Nintendo's CSR, this list is taken from 'The List of EnvironmentRelated Substances', which is distributed to our business partners. Scope of Application This standard applies to: All products that are purchased by Nintendo and are subsequently sold or provided as finished goods including sales promotion goods and maintenance parts to customers as consumers, retail stores, and OEMs (licensees). Submaterials contained in the above products or shipped with the above products. The laws and regulations of each country that apply to the substance types, uses, or threshold values shall be complied with regardless of whether regulations for such are included or not in this specification. Table Examples of Items Items Examples Electric game equipment (such as gaming systems, software and peripherals), playing Finished products card games, board games (such as Go and Japanese chess), publications, sales promotion goods, etc. Assemblies Console or handheld assemblies, PCB assemblies Parts (electrical or mechanical components, and other parts) Submaterials Semiconductors, resistors, screws, connectors, printed circuit boards (PCBs), pressed parts, molded parts, batteries, printed materials, plastic bags, retail packaging, inner cases, master cases, etc. Solder, flux, tape, ink, etc. NOTE (1) If a substance is restricted by the national regulations of a country, those regulations shall take precedence over the information in this list. (2) The following must be met for Banned Substances (NA Rank) to be in compliance with this standard. If a threshold value is specified, the quantity of the substance must be under the threshold value regardless of other reasoning. If no threshold value has been specified for a substance, it shall not be intentionally added. In addition, the substance must be strictly controlled to prevent accidental contamination. (3) Homogenous materials are materials that are uniform in their composition and cannot be mechanically separated. Examples include plastics, ceramics, glass, metals, alloys, paper, adhesives, inks, resins, and coatings (paint and metallic coatings). (4) If a product, part, or material is made up of a composite material (material that is composed of multiple homogenous materials), the threshold values for NA Rank Banned Substances or NB Rank Substances Subject to Early Withdrawal are applicable to each homogenous material. There are no threshold values for the overall ratio for the entire product, part, or material. (5) Products and parts subject to Other Restricted Substances shall conform to those standards in addition to the NA, NB, and NC Rank substance standards. (6) Accessible parts refers to the parts that, among those comprising finished assemblies and accessories, will come in direct contact with endusers. Examples of such parts are molded products, connectors exposed on the outside surface of the product, and the labels and stickers applied to these parts. (7) Packaging materials are the parts used to protect or transport finished assemblies and accessories and include the shipment case, inner case, printed box, case, shrink wrap, tray, polyethylene bag, etc. (8) The units used to express the threshold values in this standard comply with representative regulations. This document is translated from the Japanese original List of Environment Related Substances to English. If any differences between the content of the Japanese original and English translation are found, priority shall be given to the Japanese original

3 Page 3 / 7 Notes: No. Precautions NA01 NA04 NA07 NA08 NA01 NA06 NA13 NA14 NA17 NA22 Exemptions Example substance Example substance Exemptions Example substance The use of these substances as specifically exempted by the RoHS Directive is allowed. Denmark s Cadmium Directive sets the threshold value for Cadmium and Cadmium Compounds at wt%. However, for products that are also subject to the EU RoHS Directive, the threshold may be relaxed to 0.01 wt%, which is the threshold for Cadmium according to RoHS. Dibutyltins (DBTs) and Dioctyltins (DOTs) may not be used in products received on or after 7/1/2011. Refer to the European REACH regulations (1907/2006/EC), Appendix 8 for a list of aromatic amines. Azocolourants and azodyes which form certain aromatic amines may not be used in parts that may come into direct contact with endusers for a long period of time. The applicable ozone depleting substances include all substances subject to the Montreal Protocol except HCFC. This regulation shall be applied to industrialized nations regardless of the country of manufacture or country of shipment. ozone depleting substances may not be contained in products or used for production. Eliminate all alternative chlorofluorocarbons such as HCFC by Products for industry use (test fixtures, development tools, etc.) are exempt as they will not come into contact with children. The use of these substances in AC Adapters may be permitted if alternative materials, which guarantee the safety of the product, are not available. These restrictions apply even to internal parts that cannot be placed in the mouth, which are normally exempt according to European REACH regulations. Refer to the sample list of PFOS related substances in the section on POPs treaties on Japan s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry website. Applies to PFOS related substances to satisfy the values listed in the EU Directive (1907/2006/EEC) Annex XVII and to comply with the threshold values defined by the same directive. NA23 The threshold value shall be 0.1wt/% for products or parts. However, this threshold does not apply to each homogenous material that makes up the products and parts. Rather this is the threshold for the whole product/part and can be expressed as a ratio in which the amount of the substance is divided by the total mass of the part. The basic unit for products and parts is defined as their assembled state at the point of receipt. If fabric is used in the materials, the fabric coating shall have a threshold value of 1 μg/ in addition to the 0.1 wt/% restriction for the overall product/part. Substances to be made into compounds or base materials shall have a threshold value of 50 mg/kg.
