 | It incorporates battery regulations and includes specific usage limits. |

| A report is only required when regulations explicitly require the restricted substance to be used for a specific purpose. |
|
| JIG must declare that the list of substances will be continuously updated in accordance with regulations, such as adding substances like fluorinated greenhouse gases, formaldehyde, perchlorates, and perfluorooctane sulfonate. |
|
| The revised classification, which uses three criteria to declare restricted substances, replaces the previous Level A and Level B. Both the old JIG-101 and the revised JIG-101A classified the investigated substances as Level A and Level B. |
|
| All substances requiring declaration are listed in Table A. Criteria 1 – R (as required by regulations; 28 (35 classes) of substances are listed), Criteria 2 – A (for evaluation purposes only; 1 class of substances is listed), and Criteria 3 – I (for informational purposes only; 3 classes of substances are listed). |
|
| The EU REACH Regulation came into effect on June 1, 2007. Articles 7.2 (Notification) and 33 (Information Transmission) relate to electronic products, both requiring manufacturers to know whether their products contain greater than 0.1% (by weight) of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs). To meet these requirements, this guideline establishes a screening process to assist manufacturers in their review. This method allows JIG users to proactively comply with the REACH Regulation in the future. |
