Supportive data

*Content without description as follows and details are refer to “Requirements of document submission for providing the information Toshiba HDD needs for parts qualification and its change”, and submit the supportive data in a form of an electric file (PDF file), please.

Attention

1) Chemical Ingredient list (or MSDS or MIL sheet)

- 1. Always attach the latest edition.

- 2.Confirm the use prohibition material such as Cadmium and so on is not used.

- 3.Enter the substance or compound name and concentration (wt% or ppm)

2) Analysis Report

- 1. Both part and raw material of the part are acceptable as the measured sample.

(Except composition changeable materials like adhesives and membranes.)

- 2. Analysis report is valid for 1 year after measurement. In case the report is used after the date of validity expires, the report must be resubmitted to Toshiba.
Remeasurement and resubmission are required in case any 5M1E change regarding to the substance such as change in material or factory.
If the material manufacturer is qualified as a Sony Green Partner, the list is valid after expiration unless there is any change in 5M1E.

- 3. Contact us for information of test organization to entrust analysis of cadmium and lead.
