PURPOSE With regard to the "Environment-related Substances to be Controlled ('Controlled Substances')" contained in the parts and devices employed in Sony electronics products, this Standard clarifies (1) banned substances, (2) substances to be phased out, and (3) exempted substances and their uses, in order to realize the following aims and objectives: 1) To prevent the above-mentioned substances from being used for Sony electronics products; 2) To comply with related laws and regulations; 3) To reduce the influence of the above substances upon the ecosystem; and 4) To contribute to the preservation of the global environment. 2. SCOPE 2.1 Scope applicable to parts and materials Targets are the parts, materials, and other goods that are procured by the Sony group, or by third parties to which the Sony group outsources the design and manufacture of its electronics products. The targets need to satisfy the threshold levels specified in this Standard. Target parts and materials: - Semi-finished products (e.g. modules, functional units, board assemblies, and other assembly parts) - Parts (electrical parts, mechanical parts, semiconductor devices, PWBs, recording media, and packaging components and materials) - Screws - Accessories (mice, remote commanders, AC adaptors, and other accessories with which you can use products) - Materials constituting subsidiary parts and materials (e.g. adhesives, adhesive tapes, soldering materials, etc.) used for products - Printed materials (e.g. instruction manuals, warranty cards, additional product/parts information) - Repair parts (The application of some repair parts for products on the market shall be followed the instructions on the separately issued notice.) - Packaging components and materials that parts suppliers use for delivery and protection (See Section 4.2.1 "Definition of packaging components and materials" for details.) - Batteries 2.2 Scope applicable to products 1) Sony electronics products that are designed and manufactured by the Sony group for sale, loan, or distribution 2) Sony electronics products being sold and loaned or distributed with the Sony group's logos on them, whose design and/or manufacture are outsourced to companies other than Sony group 3) Electronics products of companies other than Sony group whose design and/or manufacture are outsourced to the Sony group (except when the parts and materials are specified by the companies other than Sony group) Regarding the use of substances prohibited or restricted by regional or country laws and ordinances, the laws and ordinances must be observed and followed even though the substances and their uses are not clearly regulated in this Standard.

SS-00259 (15th Edition) for General Use 3. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS In this Standard, terms are defined in the following manners: 1) "Environment-related Substances to be Controlled ('Controlled Substances')" Among the substances contained in parts and devices, "Environment-related Substances to be Controlled ('Controlled Substances')" are those which, according to Sony's judgment, have significant environmental impact on both humans and the global environment. 2) Management Levels (abbr: Mgmt level) To manage the above-mentioned substances, the following Levels and Exemption are used: a) Level 1 The substances and their applications classified into this Level are those that are banned for the use in parts and materials. b) Level 2 On the date set in each table, the substances and their applications in the respective tables shall be reclassified into Level 1. c) Level 3 Considering possibility of phase-out in the future (i.e. reclassification into Level 2), technical investigations on substances and their applications are conducted. d) Exemption Not subject to Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 because of reasons also being reflected by exemptions from laws. Technical investigations and monitoring of substances and their applications are conducted as necessary. 3) Contained "Contained" means that a substance remains in parts, devices, or their materials because of addition, filling, blending, or adhesion, whether intended or not. When a substance is unintentionally contained in, or added to a product in a processing process, this situation is also regarded as "Contained." 4) Intentionally added "Intentionally added" means a situation where a substance is contained in the part, device, or its materials because of deliberate addition, filling, blending, or adhesion, in order to provide a specific characteristic, appearance, property, attribute or quality. 5) Homogenous material "Homogenous material" means one material of uniform composition throughout or a material, consisting of a combination of materials, that cannot be disjointed or separated into different materials by mechanical actions, such as unscrewing, cutting, crushing, grinding and abrasive processes. 6) Material "Material" means substance or mixture within a product or product part. 7) Part "Part" means an article to be manufactured until it turns into an end product (the final article which is the outcome of assembling, processing or manufacturing chemical products and/or parts). 8) Article "Article" means an item of specific shape, appearance or design created during manufacture which substantially determines functions in final use rather than functions provided by its chemical composition. 9) Product "Product" means a part or an end product which is delivered to a customer as the outcome of business activities of the organization. 10) Target "Target" is an object or element (e.g. parts, materials, applications or processing) that might trigger further obligations depending on the defined "management level." 11) Threshold level "Threshold level" is a condition or concentration limit that might trigger further obligations depending on the defined "management level." Notes: * When criteria such as 'Intentionally added' and a numerical value are shown in 'threshold level,' both of them shall be satisfied. 12) Effective date of the ban on the delivery This indicates the date on or after which Sony won't accept the parts and/or materials specified in the corresponding columns of Table 4.2.
