Notes
[1] Toshiba Corporation Storage & Electronic Devices Solutions Company defines halogen-free and antimony-free products as those meeting all of the following requirements: (a) containing bromine (Br) and chlorine (Cl) at no more than 900 parts per million (ppm) by weight for each element, and containing bromine and chlorine in an aggregate amount not exceeding 1500 ppm by weight; and (b) containing no more than 1000 ppm antimony (Sb) by weight. For the avoidance of doubt, Halogen-Free/Antimony-Free products may not be entirely free of bromine, chlorine, or antimony, and may contain other element of the halogen family.
