  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 requires you to provide full material disclosure (FMD), i.e. 100% disclosure of material composition • Working with your suppliers, you will need to evaluate the materials present in the parts/materials being supplied to Steelcase and declare all substances present in concentrations by Chemical Abstract System (CAS) number, in each homogenous material • Regulations, market demands, and certification requirements change frequently. Limiting the data shared may require data re-submittals every year, at a minimum. • When you provide Full Material Disclosure (FMD) data, re-submittals will only be required once every 3 years, provided the formulation does not change.

  7. 3. Overview of IPC-1752D Material Declaration Generator • 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. • The IPC-1752D Material Declaration Generator can be downloaded in http://www.steelcase.com/en/company/sustainability/pages/supply-chain.aspx • When finished entering data, use 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.

  8. 4. Process Overview Review of key steps: • Create your submission using IPC-1752D Material Declaration Generator • Save your Excel spreadsheet as you go. Generating XML report will not allow you to reload the data entered in grey highlighted fields if errors occur or if the form needs to be completed at a later time. • 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

  9. 5. Request example You will receive requests sent from Steelcase like this one. Please respond to the request by the response date with the xml file attached as a zip file. Send the response by email to Matlchem@steelcase.com

  14. 6. Instructions for completing IPC-1752D Material Declaration Generator section by section Legal Declaration: In case you need to provide the Legal Declaration, please copy the following: Make sure to double click the Legal Declaration cell to read the whole statement! Legal Declaration: Supplier certifies that it gathered the provided information relating to the part(s) and such information is true and correct to the best of its knowledge and belief, as of the date that Supplier completes this form. Supplier acknowledges that Company will rely on this certification in determining the compliance status of its products. Company acknowledges that Supplier may have relied on information provided by others in completing this form, and that Supplier may not have independently verified such information. However, in situations where Supplier has not independently verified information provided by others, Supplier agrees that, at a minimum, its suppliers have verified information relating to their contributions to the part(s), and the suppliers’ verification is at least as comprehensive as the certification provided by Supplier in this paragraph. If the Company and the Supplier enter into a written agreement with respect to the procurement of the identified part(s), the terms and conditions of that agreement, including any warranty rights and/or remedies provided as part of that agreement, will be the sole and exclusive basis for any liability of Supplier.

  15. 6. Instructions for completing IPC-1752D Material Declaration Generator section by section Materials Composition Declaration: Product Section Part Item # / Part Description: Part Item # and Part Description will be populated by import of the request xml. Supplier should not make any changes to these fields. Steelcase’s InSight Software is expecting to see the Part Item # and Part Description exactly as in the request XML and therefore will cause an error if you change these fields.

  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 PTC material 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 the empty line to be removed • An empty line in the substance field will cause all substance declaration after the empty line to be removed
