Initiatives to Maintain Compliance with International 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网 Substance Regulations
The Daicel Group not only complies with domestic regulations pertaining to the management of 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网 substances but also maintains compliance with the 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网 regulations enforced in each country in Europe, the U.S., Asia-Pacific, and other regions by utilizing search databases for domestic and international laws to obtain the latest information on revisions to laws and regulatory trends in each country.
In May 2018, Daicel completed all registrations of its 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网 substances designated under the European Union’s REACH* as planned, in compliance with regulatory timelines specified by the regulations based on the volume of substances being manufactured or imported.
Even after registration, the European 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网s Agency (ECHA) examines all registration-related documents based on the compliance check procedures of the REACH regulation and provides improvement recommendations to registrants to ensure compliance with changes in information requests under the regulation. The Daicel Group is also responding as necessary for the products in question. Furthermore, based on the CLP Regulation, notifications have been submitted to the poison centers of respective member states for the relevant products.
*REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网s) is a regulation that mandates that producers and importers must register their 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网 products with the European Union, conduct safety assessments, control permits for their use, and restrict their use.

Particularly with respect to domestic and overseas laws and regulations, we have assigned 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网 product management supervisors and workers in each business division and Group company who gather four times a year to exchange information, which is undertaken in two parts. In the first part, participants share information and discuss topics such as 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网 product regulations in Japan and overseas along with the latest information and trends related to industry groups, and in the second part, topics such as regulatory trends and internal management systems that are focused on conveying information about 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网s are discussed. In FY2024/3, the meetings were attended by a total of 330 division heads and relevant staff.
In addition, we provide risk assessment education for all workers who handle 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网 substances. This risk assessment is an extremely important element for 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网 substance management, and it is essential that evaluators have a solid background to properly understand the assessment results and conduct risk management. The Daicel Group provides opportunities for practical training courses to cultivate professionals who can assess the risks of 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网 substances, promoting the acquisition of extensive knowledge and continuous technical skills necessary for risk assessment.
Voluntary Efforts Concerning 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网 Substances
When developing new plans* under the Total EHS Assessment System, the Daicel Group conducts advance assessments of all 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网 substances handled through its business with regard to the risks and toxicity they may pose in order to prevent people, equipment, and the environment from being affected by its 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网 substances.
■ Prohibited 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网bstances
5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网 substances whose manufacture and use are prohibited or severely restricted by law due to their hazardous or harmful properties. The Daicel Group has implemented a ban on the manufacture and use of these substances.
■ 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网bstances prohibited in principle
5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网 substances whose manufacture and use are strictly regulated (requiring permission, notification, implementation of safety measures, etc.). In principle, the Daicel Group prohibits the manufacture and use of these substances and is considering replacing them with alternative substances at the research and development stage. If it is unavoidable to manufacture or use these substances, we conduct a preliminary review at Corporate Total EHS Assessment Committee based on information such as their hazards, harmfulness, production volume, usage volume, purpose, exposure situation, and risk measures for people's health and the environment, and make a judgment on whether or not it is permissible. As mentioned above, we systematically manage substances of concern for their hazards and harmfulness based on the Total EHS Assessment System.
In addition, we conduct risk assessments for all 5357cc拉斯维加斯游戏官网 substances handled in all operations, including the manufacture, development, and testing of not only existing products but also new and developmental products.
