III-1-(1) Ozone Depleting Substances
(Substances specified in “Law concerning the Protection of the Ozone Layer through the
Control of specified Substances and Other Measures”)
Among substances regulated on the Montreal Protocol, substances targeted are the same as the ones listed in
No. 15 Ozone depleting substances in Section I-1-(1) “Prohibited Chemical Substances in Products”.
Nikon has exempted HCFCs (marked out items) from this prohibition because of an agreement reached during
the 19th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol regarding a schedule to eliminate both consumption
and production of HCFCs by 2020.
