(6) Contain (Contained/Content)<br />

This term refers to the following cases:<br />

(i) When a chemical substance is included in a part, material or product as an ingredient,<br />

whether intentionally or not;<br />

(ii) When a chemical substance is mixed with other ingredients to maintain desirable<br />

conditions, quality etc. in a production process, and thus becomes included in a part,<br />

material or product;<br />

(iii) When a chemical substance is used in a production process, and remains in, or sticks to,<br />

the finished product, part, material or other.<br />

According to our interpretation, the term also refers to cases in which a chemical substance is<br />

contained in a natural material, or in which impurities remain after the completion of an<br />

industrial refining process. Such chemical substances are not regarded as contained in an<br />

article if such containment at any significant level is not technically anticipated, or if no<br />

in<strong>for</strong>mation on such contents is available; however, this does not apply if such containment is<br />

problematic in view of relevant domestic and/or <strong>for</strong>eign regulations.<br />

(7) Impurity<br />

This term refers to the following:<br />

(i) Substances contained in natural materials that cannot be removed completely using<br />

existing technology in a process in which the materials are refined <strong>for</strong> industrial use;<br />

(ii) Substances generated during a chemical synthesis reaction that cannot be removed<br />

completely using existing technology;<br />

(iii) Substances (generally referred to as dopants) that are mixed with other ingredients in the<br />

manufacture of semiconductor ICs to control semiconductor characteristics.<br />

(8) Threshold (Roughly Synonymous with Allowable Value)<br />

This term refers to the allowable content in an application.<br />

(9) Section (Relevant Section)<br />

This term refers to a section containing certain chemical substances that are deemed to be<br />

uni<strong>for</strong>m in property. “Relevant section” refers to the section of a part that contains the surveyed<br />

chemical substances.<br />
