In the “Chemicals and Product Safety” section of the RC Basic Policy, we will strive to eliminate quality issues, and provide products that will satisfy our customers. We will strive for proper chemical management by ensuring the safety control of items such as high‑pressure gases, hazardous materials, and poisonous and deleterious substances. We will take measures so our business partners will be able to safely handle chemicals.
As for chemical substance management guidelines, our in-house database is updated when necessary to comply with chemical substance regulations both in Japan and overseas and address such issues as revisions to those regulations.
- PRTR Law (Act on the Assessment of Releases of Specified Chemical Substances in the Environment and the Promotion of Management Improvement)
- Chemical Substances Evaluation Law (Act on the Regulation of Manufacture and Evaluation of Chemical Substances)
- Chemical Substances Management Law (Act on the Assessment of Releases of Specified Chemical Substances in the Environment and the Promotion of Management Improvement)
- Fluorocarbons Law (Act on Rational Use and Appropriate Management of Fluorocarbons)
- Overseas chemical substance-related regulations (EU, England, Turkey, Asia, etc.)
Osaka Soda creates safety data sheets (SDSs) for our products and publishes many of them on our website to swiftly provide the latest information on those products.
Osaka Soda always makes efforts for substance management of our products and the collection of information. Osaka Soda prepares Information Sheets on the Content of Certain Chemical Substances using Osaka Soda's own format to supplement our SDSs, as well as chemSHERPA from the Joint Article Management Promotion-consortium (JAMP), in order to respond to requests from customers regarding detailed information on the content of chemical substances, including RoHS and SVHC in addition to Japan's Chemical Substances Evaluation Law. Osaka Soda responds promptly to regular list revisions and provides information to customers.
|
chemSHERPA chemSHERPA is a sheet for basic information transfer to facilitate sharing of information on chemical substances in products that lists the name of laws and regulations, etc., under which product constituents are declarable substances and whether a product contains a declarable substance or not. |
|
RoHS RoHS is an acronym for Directive on the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment. |
|
SVHC SVHC is an acronym for Substances of Very High Concern with carcinogenic and mutagenic effects, reproductive and developmental toxicity and other serious impacts on human health and the environment.
|
Based on the Act on the Assessment of Releases of Specified Chemical Substances in the Environment and the Promotion of Management Improvement (Chemical Substances Management Law or PRTR Law), as well as other domestic and international chemical regulations, we promote proper chemical management and prevent pollution.
Total emissions of substances subject to PRTR Law in fiscal year 2024 amounted to 342 tons. We will continue monitoring substances subject to PRTR Law and work to ensure appropriate control of emissions.
