Supplementary Explanation in Relation to Japan 4EEIA Input on PFAS Dossier Electric and Electronic Equipment (hereinafter, EEE) covers so many various product categories, but the technologies and materials and parts used in EEE are basically common. Furthermore, EEE is covered under WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU at its end of life stage. Therefore, we believe that EEE should be treated as one category under REACH Annex XVII in most cases*. *Some categories under RoHS such as medical or measurement equipment may need additional applications in addition to those for the other EEE. However, in order to have the dossier submitter and ECHA understand EEE using PFAS more concretely, we would like to use the categories under RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU to show illustrative examples of PFAS use. Please see this material with our Annex 3 and Annex 4. Please note that each category also covers wide variety of products and no one can make an exhaustive list. However, we consider these can help to show the necessary PFAS applications in EEE better. Products under other sectors such as automotive, military, space and aviation also need similar applications as EEE if they use electric parts. <Slide 1> The cellular phone contains many electronic parts. The cellular phone uses various parts using PFAS as listed below. The numbers are linked to the essential functions of the EEE listed in Annex 4. Liquid crystal panel or OLED 5. Display function Touch screen 3. Piezoelectric function Enclosure 6. Safety and safety functions Coating of smartphone surfaces 7. Functional surface Flexible substrate 2. High speed communication and transmission function Speaker, Microphone 3. Piezoelectric function Sealing material 6. Safety and safety functions Antennas 2. High speed communication and transmission function Vibrator motor 4. Sliding function in mechanical section Optical Lens, Actuator Image sensor, LEDs etc. 1. Optical function 3. Piezoelectric function 8. Semiconductor Printed Circuit Board, Cable 2. High speed communication and transmission function 6. Safety and safety functions 8. Semiconductor Coating of Electric Components 7. Functional surface Touch Sensor Fingerprint sensor Gyroscope etc. 9. Thin-film device manufacturing process Battery 10. Energy supply Lubricant, Sealing material (SIM/SD tray) 4. Sliding function in mechanical section Complexity of supply chain of EEE and related sectors A.

Likewise, "Semiconductors" or "batteries" are indispensable to EEE as parts for EEE manufacturers, for example. Process Assembly/ Inspection shipment C.
