Our activities
1.We are promoting the restriction, the reduction and
the abolition on the basis of our voluntary criteria
(1) the technical criterion for the environmental burden substances in products
(2) the technical criterion for the environmental burden substances used in
the process
2.We are surveying, controlling and screening the
uses of the environmental burden substances
- to check the substances in purchased materials including the impurities
- to check and verify the contained substances in selection of new materials
- to prevent ourselves from purchasing unchecked(unregistered) materials

The structure for restriction of use of the substances
in our products and in the process
RANK
In the products
In the process
A: Prohibition
Shall not be contained
Shall not be used
(The use is prohibited in accordance with any active legal requirements)
B: Voluntary
prohibition
shall not be contained after a
certain time
shall not be used after a certain
time
(the use is prohibited beforehand so as to avoid offence against potential regulations)
C: Reduction
Try reducing the amount of the
substaces in use
Try reducing the amount of the
substaces in use
(action for the reduction should be made under the long term scheme)
D: Preparation for
reduction
prepare to reduce the amount
of the substances in use
Prepare to reduce the emission of
the substances
(Investigation of content of the substances/the alternative should be taken in the purchasing stage and in the
development stage)
Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd
21
Our activities (details)
The points of our survey and control for the content and the use of
substances
1. To identify “substance/preparation” and “article” in purchasing the
materials
2. To examine any substances to use, and to allow ourselves to purchase
only the registered ones
(1) To manage “self-producing materials” and “purchased materials” under the
one system
(2) To obtain necessary information with not only Safety Data Sheet(SDS*) or
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS*) but also our independent questionnaire
to suppliers *They are almost alike and obligatory for chemicals manufacturers to
issue in Europe, Japan,etc
(3) To check our supplier’s confirmation of compliance, and compliance with
export control regulations of Japan.
(4) To check even very small content and impurities of environmental burden
substances
Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd
22
Our activities (details)
The objectives to check the substances contained in chemicals
1. To comply with national legislation in any countries where our
manufacturing bases locate
2. To check and control the substances in examining for registration
3. To comply with export control regulations of Japan
4. To exclude any pollution or any accidents which may occur in
transporting the substance, and exclude any potential risk of offence
against relevant laws
5. To collect complementary information about the substance which is not
reported in the SDS or the MSDS
6. To support our customer’s Green Procurement activities by providing
material declaration considering cases of transforming the substance to
an article or incorporating into it in the process
