Product safety guidelines

Group-wide product safety guidelines have been prepared to secure product safety and prevent the occurrence of product safety incidents. The guidelines specify matters to be controlled throughout the process from material purchase through use and disposal. Specific product safety measures for individual products are performed by each core operating company in accordance with the guidelines.

Product safety measures

The flow of measures to secure product safety is centered on risk assessments during the development stage, prior to product marketing. Separate procedures are followed for chemicals and equipment. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) are prepared to ensure the safe handling of chemical products sold to other businesses. Instructions for safe use are included in the product manuals of equipment sold to other businesses and of consumer products.
