Cooperation by suppliers is essential for promoting green procurement.

We ask for your understanding and cooperation regarding our policy.


1. YASKAWA ECO VISION

We are promoting environmental management in order to pass on the bounty of the earth’s blessings to the next generation.

Together with its stakeholders, the Yaskawa Group aims to create a society that is sustainable.

It plans to make contributions for the environment by reducing the burdens that result from its manufacturing activities (its green process) at a greater rate than it has to date, and by reducing the burden on the ecosystem with its products (green products) leveraging its technology to enhance the environmental performance.


2. PRODUCT ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS

AROUND THE WORLD

(1) Product environmental laws and regulations around the

world

(2) Comparison between EU RoHS and China RoHS

(3) Compliance with EU REACH

Survey

In EU area

₋ EU REACH, Article 33:

Duty to communicate information on substances contained in molded products (parts and products)

Answer (within 45 days)

Answer(within 45 days)

₋ If the concentration of any specific substance is above 0.1% weight by weight (w/w) of the part, it is necessary to answer the survey request within 45 days.

* Legal interpretation for SVHC concentration calculation of EU REACH was changed from “products” to “parts.”(September 10, 2015, Court of Justice of the European Union)



RoHS Directives: Added 4 Prohibited Substances(Issued in June 2015, Effective from July 2019)

Inclusion of 4 substances in procured materials will be prohibited from April 2018.Please respond accordingly including the change procedures by that time.

Names of ４ substances Major parts including the substances

1 DEHP (Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) Frequently used as PVC plasticizer

Example)Cable coatings, electrolytic capacitors, seal rubber, adhesives, paints, plastic additives, etc.

2 BBP (Butyl benzyl phthalate)

3 DBP (Dibutyl phthalate)

4 DIBP (Diisobutyl phthalate)

◊Complete to shift to chemSHERPA

We will accept a response only by the chemSHERPA.


(Reference) What is IEC 62474?

IEC 62474 is an international standard which establishes basic items and methods for sharing information of chemical substances contained in products of the electro technical industry across a supply chain.

The standard also specifies how to exchange information and data of chemical substances which may be contained in electric and electronic devices.

There are schemes compliant with this standard as follows:Japan : chemSHERPAEU : BOMcheckUSA : IPC 1752A
