现将此事归纳如下：

1. 不当列表概述

据了解，在UL94 阻燃标准认证中，我们提交给UL进行测试的样品与UL认证的树脂不同，除此之外，我们制造并向客户出售了与UL 认证和注册的材料不同成分的树脂。

- 发现此事的时间：2021年12月下旬 

- 树脂相关

我们在以下六种树脂中的一些中了解到不适当的措施：

ABS树脂 TOYOLAC™

尼龙树脂 Amilan™

聚对苯二甲酸丁二醇酯 （PBT） 树脂 TORAYCON™

聚苯硫醚（PPS）树脂 TORELINA™

液晶聚酯树脂 SIVERAS™

聚乳酸树脂 Ecodia™

虽然我们一直在对阻燃性进行重新评估，其中包括由第三方组织进行的评估，但我们了解到某些树脂不符合UL安全标准要求。我们将根据UL程序对此类树脂采取措施。

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.
