FAQ

Q. The composition information on our products contains trade secrets...

A. You may inform only for regulated chemical substances.

We respect CBI (Confidential Business Information).

However declarable substances set on chemSHERPA are restricted by
legal requirements and they are not in the scope of CBI.

Q. We purchased certain parts/components under same specification

from multiple companies.
If the content ratio and substances contained the parts/components are
different, how we should make the data ?

A. We consider that it is preferable to make

with the worst value.

This idea is based on the risk reduction to adopt the worst value of each company
