  12. Requests to OEM Suppliers Targeting at the end of March 2003, we get the certification program under way. Active response to the program by OEM suppliers will be highly appreciated. We will provide complete support in guiding OEM suppliers toward certification through Business Companies.

  13. Explanation of Certification Criteria

  14. Please refer to your copy of “Overview of OEM Green Partner Environmental Quality Certification.”

  15. OEM Green Partner Environmental Quality Certification OEM Green Partner Environmental Quality Certification is a scheme for making efficient procedures to ensure that the controlled substances are not contained in any of the parts or raw materials making up our products by certifying a system of managing the contorolled substances, which are defined by us, in the OEM suppliers.

  16. Certification Processes The scheme follows the processes as detailed below to certify the management system of the OEM supplier. Reviewing and starting the operation of the environmental quality assurance management system Applying to Sony for certification Auditing by Sony Concluding the OEM green partner agreement Issuing an OEM Green Partner Certificate to complete the certification procedures

  17. １）Reviewing and starting the operation of the OEM environmental quality assurance management system The OEM supplier sets up an environment-related substance management system and starts the operation of the management system that complies with the “Manual for Establishing an Environmental Quality Assurance System.” If you have already implemented one, you will please review it.

  18. 2) Conducting internal audits The OEM supplier conducts an internal audit of its own management system and determines that the system complies with the “Manual for Establishing an Environmental Quality Assurance System.”

  19. Applying for OEM green partner • environmental quality certification When the in-house system has been properly organized and it is verified that the management system complies with the “Manual for Establishing an Environmental Quality Assurance System.” the OEM supplier makes an application for OEM green partner environmental quality certification to our division in charge of business contracts with you. Specific documents to be submitted at the time of application will be later informed.

  20. 4) Audit by Sony Sony audits the management system in OEM supplier for OEM green partner environmental quality certification. We will advise you in advance of the audit schedule. The audit procedure will be normally completed within one day.

  21. 5) Concluding the OEM green partner agreement The OEM supplier concludes the “OEM Green Partner Agreement” with us. The agreement is concluded for conducting OEM businesses based on mutual agreement. The agreement contains provisions such as observance of environment-related laws and regulations, procurement of designated raw materials, and cooperation system.

  22. 6) Issuing an OEM green partner environmental quality certificate An “OEM Green Partner Environmental Quality Certificate” is issued through these processes. This completes the certification procedure. The OEM supplier is now certified as an OEM green partner.

  23. Please refer to your copy of “Manual for Establishing an Environmental Quality Assurance System.”It explains along with a manual.
