2022 年 1 月 31 日 – 東麗工業株式會社宣布，東麗錯誤地將某些樹脂產品識別為已獲得總部位于美國的全球第三方安全科學組織美國保險商實驗室（以下簡稱"UL"）的認證。

Tokyo, Japan, January 31, 2022 – Toray Industries, Inc., today announced that certain resin products were improperly identified by Toray as receiving certification from Underwriters Laboratories (hereinafter, "UL"), a global third-party safety science organization headquartered in the United States.

東麗成立了一個專家委員會，對此事進行徹底調查和調查。還將對整個東麗集團的 UL 注冊進行調查，以確認是否存在類似事項。

We have established an expert committee today to conduct thorough investigation and investigate the cause of this matter. We will also conduct a survey on UL registration across the entire Toray Group to confirm the presence of similar matter.

雖然東麗尚未收到任何有關使用受影響樹脂的產品存在問題的報告，但東麗將繼續與客戶合作調查并確認安全性和性能。

Although Toray has not received any reports of problems with products using the affected resins, we will continue to investigate and confirm safety and performance with the cooperation of our customers.

東麗表示將加倍努力遵守合規，并采取預防復發的措施，盡最大努力重新獲得對東麗的信任。

Toray will redouble efforts relating to compliance adherence, and together with recurrence prevention measures, will do our utmost to regain the trust placed in our company.

現將此事歸納如下：

1. 不當列表概述

據了解，在UL94 阻燃標準認證中，我們提交給UL進行測試的樣品與UL認證的樹脂不同，除此之外，我們制造并向客戶出售了與UL 認證和注冊的材料不同成分的樹脂。

- 發現此事的時間：2021年12月下旬 

- 樹脂相關

我們在以下六種樹脂中的一些中了解到不適當的措施：

ABS樹脂 TOYOLAC™

尼龍樹脂 Amilan™

聚對苯二甲酸丁二醇酯 （PBT） 樹脂 TORAYCON™

聚苯硫醚（PPS）樹脂 TORELINA™

液晶聚酯樹脂 SIVERAS™

聚乳酸樹脂 Ecodia™

雖然我們一直在對阻燃性進行重新評估，其中包括由第三方組織進行的評估，但我們了解到某些樹脂不符合UL安全標準要求。我們將根據UL程序對此類樹脂采取措施。

A summary of this matter is as follows:

1.Overview of inappropriate listing

Regarding UL94 that indicates the flame retardancy performance of resins, we learned the case that the samples submitted to UL for testing were different than the resins certified by UL. We also learned the case that some resins which were different than the composition certified by UL and that we manufactured and sold to customers.

- The time when this matter was discovered: late December 2021

- Resin concerned

We learned inappropriate measures in some of the following six resins:

ABS resin TOYOLAC™

Nylon resin Amilan™

Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resin TORAYCON™

Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resin TORELINA™

Liquid crystal polyester resin SIVERAS™

Poly-lactic acid resin Ecodia™

Although we have been conducting re-evaluation of the flame retardancy, which includes evaluation by a third-party organization, we learned that some resins do not meet the UL safety standard requirements. We will take measures for such resins in accordance with the UL procedures.
