The List of Environment-Related Substances
* For Q&A about Nintendo's CSR, this list is taken from 'The List of Environment-Related Substances',
which is distributed to our business partners.
This standard applies to: • All products that are purchased by Nintendo and are subsequently sold or provided as finished goods including sales promotion goods and maintenance parts to customers as consumers, retail stores, and OEMs (licensees). • Sub-materials contained in the above products or shipped with the above products. The laws and regulations of each country that apply to the substance types, uses, or threshold values shall be complied with regardless of whether regulations for such are included or not in this specification. Examples of Applicable Items
Electric game equipment (such as gaming systems, software and peripherals), playing card games, board games (such as Go and Japanese chess), publications, sales Console or handheld assemblies, PCB assemblies Semiconductors, resistors, screws, connectors, printed circuit boards (PCBs), pressed Parts (electrical or mechanical parts, molded parts, batteries, printed materials, plastic bags, retail packaging, inner (1) If a substance is restricted by the national regulations of a country, those regulations shall take precedence over the (2) The following conditions must be met for Banned Substances (NA Rank) to be in compliance with this standard. If a threshold value is specified, the quantity of the substance must be under the threshold value regardless of other reasoning. If no threshold value has been specified for a substance, it shall not be intentionally added. In addition, the substance must be strictly controlled to prevent accidental contamination. (3) “Homogenous materials” are materials that are uniform in their composition and cannot be mechanically separated. Examples include plastics, ceramics, glass, metals, alloys, paper, adhesives, inks, resins, and coatings (paint and metallic coatings). (4) If a product, part, or material is made up of a composite material (material that is composed of multiple homogenous materials), the threshold values for NA Rank Banned Substances or NB Rank Substances Subject to Early Withdrawal are applicable to each homogenous material. There are no threshold values for the overall ratio for the entire product, part, or material. (5) Products and parts subject to “Other Restricted Substances” shall conform to those standards in addition to the NA, (6) “Accessible parts” refers to the parts that, among those comprising finished assemblies and accessories, will come in direct contact with end-users. Examples of such parts are molded products, connectors exposed on the outside surface of the product, and the labels and stickers applied to these parts. (7) “Packaging materials” are the parts used to protect or transport finished assemblies and accessories and include the shipment case, inner case, printed box, case, shrink wrap, tray, polyethylene bag, etc. (8) The units used to express the threshold values in this standard comply with representative regulations.

Banned Substances (NA)
The use of the following materials is restricted by relevant laws or is considered unsuitable by Nintendo. Attach the Certificate of Non-Use of Banned Substances to the Supplier Specification. Reference Regulations & Standards Etc. European REACH regulations (1907/2006/EC) Annex XVII Product surface coating materials (paint, American Consumer Product Safety Improvement Class I Specified Chemical in the Japanese Chemical Substance European REACH regulations (1907/2006/ EC) Annex XVII Class II Specified Chemical in the Japanese Chemical Substance European REACH regulations (1907/2006/EC) Annex XVII Class I Specified Chemical in the Japanese Chemical Substance European REACH regulations (1907/2006/EC) Annex XVII European REACH regulations (1907/2006/EC) Annex XVII European REACH regulations (1907/2006/EC) Annex XVII Taiwan Toy Safety Standard (Chinese National Standard American Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) European REACH regulations (1907/2006/EC) European REACH regulations (1907/2006/EC) Annex XVII The use of these substances as specifically exempted by the RoHS Directive is allowed. Denmark’s Cadmium Directive sets the threshold value for Cadmium and Cadmium Compounds at 0.0075 wt%. However, for products that are also subject to the EU RoHS Directive, the threshold may be relaxed to 0.01 wt%, which is the threshold for Cadmium according to RoHS. Dibutyltins (DBTs) and Dioctyltins (DOTs) may not be used in products received on or after 7/1/2011. Refer to the European REACH regulations (1907/2006/EC), Appendix 8 for a list of aromatic amines. Azocolourants and azodyes which form certain aromatic amines may not be used in parts that may come into direct contact with end-users for a long period of time. The applicable ozone depleting substances include all substances subject to the Montreal Protocol except HCFC. This regulation shall be applied to industrialized nations regardless of the country of manufacture or country of shipment. Applicable ozone depleting substances may not be contained in products or used for production. Eliminate all alternative chlorofluorocarbons such as HCFC by 2015. Products for industry use (test fixtures, development tools, etc.) are exempt as they will not come into contact with The use of these substances in AC Adapters may be permitted if alternative materials, which guarantee the safety of These restrictions apply even to “internal parts that cannot be placed in the mouth”, which are normally exempt according to European REACH regulations. Refer to the sample list of PFOS related substances in the section on POPs treaties on Japan’s Ministry of Economy, http://www.meti.go.jp/policy/chemical_management/03kanri/96list.pdf Applies to PFOS related substances to satisfy the values listed in the EU Directive (1907/2006/EEC) Annex XVII and to comply with the threshold values defined by the same directive. The threshold value shall be 0.1wt/% for products or parts. However, this threshold does not apply to each homogenous material that makes up the products and parts. Rather this is the threshold for the whole product/part and can be expressed as a ratio in which the amount of the substance is divided by the total mass of the part. The basic unit for products and parts is defined as their assembled state at the point of receipt. If fabric is used in the materials, the fabric coating shall have a threshold value of 1 μg/ wt/% restriction for the overall product/part. Substances to be made into compounds or base materials shall have a threshold value of 50 mg/kg. Substances Subject to Early Withdrawal (NB)
The following substances are expected to be classified as NA Rank Banned Substances in accordance with the enactment of future laws and regulations. As part of our risk management and environment preservation efforts, Nintendo plans to switch over to alternative substances and completely remove these substances from our products and production processes as soon as possible.
