  Chemical Substance Management Principles are made in “Chemical Substances Control Headquarters Committee”. Based on these principles, each office carries out management activities.

1. Chemical Substances Principles

1. Reduce Environmental Burden: Prevent pollution, reduce environmental burden, and promote waste recycling.
2. R&D: Promote research and development of products with minimum toxicity.
3. Legislative Compliance: Comply with domestic and international laws and regulations.
4. Train Personnel to Ensure Safe Handling: Collect latest information and promote thorough safety management.
5. Provide/ Disclose Information and Interact with Community: Disclose the control/ management state. Promote communication with the local community.

2. Chemical Substances Management Activities

  Asahi Denka actively participates in international chemical risk assessment committees, such as International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA), High Production Volume Program (HPV), and the Long- range Research Initiative (LRI) on chemical substances that might have negative human and environmental impact.

HPV Substances (those relevant to Asahi Denka)	Progress
Hydrogen Peroxide	Completed SIAM*1 (SIAM9)
Tris 2-Ethylhexyl, (ADK Cizer C8 Trimellitate)	Completed SIAM (SIAM14)
Ammonia Persulfate, Potassium Persulfate, Sodium Persulfate	Work undergoing in the international consortium*2 Taking pre-evaluation by various foreign governments organizations for SIAM 20
Sodium Percarbonate	Work undergoing in the international consortium

  Chemical Substance Management Committees that carry out research and training on chemical substances are established in six factories and three R&D labs. In FY2004, risk assessment training was held for employees using Japan Chemical Industry Association manual.

  Computer shipping management system that contains checking functions of international regulations for exporting products was introduced, as chemical products export has been expanding. For chemical product export, export regulation of Japan as well as regulations of the country importing the product, must be followed. As regulation enforcement has been tightening internationally, due to international political instability, such as regional conflicts and terrorism, we strengthened our checking system of regulation in the shipping preparation process by using such computer management systems.
  In addition to sales management, this newly introduced system enables the checking of compliance with “export and trade management regulation” and regulations on chemicals in importing countries, as well as chemical substance management. The system also deals with export/ import amount limitations: it can count accumulated export amount of each substance included in various products.
