  3. 1. Introduction - Spotlight on MATERIALS CHEMISTRY materials chemistry platform • Steelcase’s material chemistry objectives: • Develop a detailed understanding of chemical substances in our manufacturing processes and products • Design products and processes that minimize and eliminate chemicals of concern

  4. Spotlight on MATERIALS CHEMISTRY certifications, legislation + regulation • Ecolabels and certifications in-corporate material chemistry as well as energy measures, social impacts and health issues • LEED • Greenguard • Energy Star • Cradle to Cradle • SMaRT • BIFMA level • Proliferation of laws worldwide driving reporting, restriction, and elimination of toxic substances from products and manufacturing processes

  5. Spotlight on MATERIALS CHEMISTRY substance restriction and elimination examples

  6. 2. Overview of Steelcase material disclosure requirements • Steelcase Reportable Substances Worksheet • Steelcase will accept disclosure of material information by utilizing the Steelcase Reportable Substances Worksheet • You will evaluate whether any of the substances on the Steelcase Reportable Substances Worksheet are contained in the parts, materials or products you are supplying Steelcase at concentrations over 100 ppm (0.01%), and if so, • Report each substance and the amount contained in the product, using the IPC-1752D Material Declaration Generator

  7. 3. Overview of IPC-1752D Material Declaration Generator and Steelcase Reportable Substances Worksheet • IPC-1752D Material Declaration Generator • IPC1752 is a standard format for electronic data exchange for product environmental compliance/chemistry data. • The IPC-1752D Material Declaration Generator is a spreadsheet provided by Steelcase that the supplier allows you to enters your chemistry data. • When finished entering data, use the Material Declaration Generator to generate an xml electronic file which is then sent to Steelcase by email to Matlchem@steelcase.com. • Please note—It’s one part number per form – this includes unrestricted and non-regulated substances • Steelcase Reportable Substances Worksheet • For the convenience of suppliers, Steelcase has provided a spreadsheet (Steelcase Reportable Substances Worksheet) containing the list of substances that require reporting on the IPC-1752D Material Declaration Generator . • Suppliers who are only reporting those substances on the list must review the Steelcase Reportable Substances Worksheet to ensure they are reporting any of these substances their parts may contain. • The Steelcase Reportable Substances Worksheet and IPC-1752D Material Declaration Generator are bothavailable in http://www.steelcase.com/en/company/sustainability/pages/supply-chain.aspx

  8. 4. Process Overview Review of key steps: • Check the substances you have in your product against the Steelcase Reportable Substances Worksheet • Create your submission using IPC-1752D Material Declaration Generator • Save a copy of your declaration to your local as you go in Excel spreadsheet format. Any field highlighted in grey will not repopulate from the XML declaration if closed and re-opened. • Check your submission by clicking on the “Run Error Check” button • Correct any errors found • Create an XML by using the “Create Declaration” button • Save it to your local hard drive and name your file to IPC1752_Companyname_partno • Email it to Steelcase at email address Matlchem@steelcase.com

  32. 10. Common mistakes • Some common mistakes we’ve seen: • Improper exemption or missing exemption • Less than 100% disclosure of materials and substances • Provide unreasonable material declarations, such as 100% or no Aluminum in Al alloys, steel without Iron, plastic with 100% mixture of metals, etc 11. Common issue in using PTCmaterial declaration generator • Without starting a new row, the PTC material declaration generator will not recognize any material and substance declaration • An empty line in the material field will cause all material declaration after that empty line to be removed • An empty line in substance field will cause all substance declaration after that empty line to be removed
