(1) Definition of "packaging components and materials".

Note:

In addition to Table 8.1, based on the provisions of laws, the following conditions must be satisfied :

Banned

Substances ・ All packaging components and material as of Table 9.1a

Exemption ・ Cartons for returnable boxes owned by carriers or parts suppliers

Allowable concentrations:

Measurement standards:1. Pretreatment

For cadmium and lead, follow the methods respectively specified in cadmium (*3), lead (*4) .

For total chromium, follow the methods which specified in (*3 ) cadmium.

For mercury, typical test methods are as follow three kinds:

(1) A pressurized acid decomposition method done in a sealed container

[including microwave decomposition method (EPA 3052:1996)]

(2) A heating evaporation-cold-vapor mercury-atomic-absorption method

(3)

Note:

2. Measurement methods

Standard methods for detecting hexavalent chromium:

Detecting methods:

1. Pretreatment Extraction methods [Boiling water extraction and alkaline extraction (e.g. EPA 3060A)]

2. Measurement methods Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy (e.g. EPA 7196A)

and total chromium in packaging components and materials is more than 100 ppm.)

 (Standard methods for detecting the total concentration of the four elements of cadmium, lead, mercury,

quantification as less than 5 ppm for mercury, less than 5 ppm for cadmium, less than 5 ppm for the total chromium,

If a combination of a pretreatment method and a measurement method can guarantee the lower detection limits of

and less than 30 ppm for lead, the combination is also available. Also cadmium, lead, and total chromium can be

simultaneously analyzed by each of the measurement methods (except for AAS) .

in table 8.2 "Targets" and "Effective Ban Date" regarding "Controlled Substances.".

(*3) Refer to "Test objects: plastics (including rubber), paints, inks," "Substances: Cadmium and cadmium compounds,"

1. First analyze total chromium content and verify that the total concentration of 4 metals: cadmium, lead, mercury and

total chromium is less than 100 ppm. In this case, analyzing the same Pretreatement methods as those used for cadmium

and lead are applicable.

2. If this total concentration is more than 100 ppm , verify that the sum of the cadmium, lead and mercury concentration

specified as below (*3) cadmium and (*4) lead.

Regarding the measurement of mercury concentrations, follow the same methods as cadmium and lead specified

Table 9.1 Regarding the Packaging components and materials matters

Regarding the measurement of cadmium; lead; and total-chromium concentrations, follow the methods

contained in plastics (including rubber) , paints, and inks, however, regulations of "Cadmium and cadmium compounds"

and "Lead and lead compounds" must also be satisfied.

(Typical plastic parts: handles, polyvinyl bags, cushions, films, trays, reels, adhesive tapes, magazine sticks [including

stoppers] and bands)

is used to decompose mercury by sulfuric acid or nitric acid.

In the process of above Pretreatment method, particular attention is required to avoid mercury sublimation,

・ The allowable total concentration of cadmium, lead, mercury, and hexavalent chromium contained in each parts, ink, or

paint that constitutes a package shall less than 100 ppm. Regarding allowable concentrations of cadmium and lead

is less than 100 ppm limit. When the sum of the cadmium, lead and mercury concentration is less than the 100 ppm

limits, analyze and confirm that no hexavalent chromium is present eventually.

Packaging components and materials are defined as products made from any materials and components

to be used for the "containment", "protection", "handling", "delivery" and "presentation" of good, from

raw materials to process goods, and from the producer to the user or consumer.

The definition excludes the components and materials for the returnable boxes, which are reused or

recycled under the control of carriers or suppliers, and are not disposed of by end-users or the
