Compliance with the Revised Chemical Management Law
Following revisions to the Chemical Management Law*1, more chemical substances are now covered by the MSDS*2 system and the PRTR*3 system (revisions applied to the MSDS system from October 2009, and to the PRTR system from April 2010).
Responding to these revisions, the Fujitsu Group has asked its suppliers to cooperate in the delivery of chemicals, and based on the revised PRTR system it is carrying out initiatives to obtain and accurate grasp of the amounts of chemicals transported and emitted.
*1 A law to promote correct understanding, management, and reporting of amounts of designated chemicals emitted into the environment
*2 A system that requires attachment of a Material Safety Data Sheet to chemical deliveries
*3 Abbreviation of Pollutant Release and Transfer Register. This system requires the registration and reporting of data relating to the emission of harmful chemicals into the environment and volumes within transported waste.
