1. PURPOSE:
The purpose of this standard is to establish the basic specifications for environmental
facilities*1 in HOYA Corporation and in HOYA Group companies (hereafter “HOYA
Group”) in order to prevent any harmful impact on the environment inside or outside the
workplace.
*1 The term “facility” refers to any facility that could have potentially harmful effects on
the environment inside or outside the workplace from hazardous substances used in
the activities of the HOYA Group, or the by-products thereof. Hazardous substances
are those substances that, via the environment, pose a risk of being injurious to
human health or a risk of impeding the inhabitation or growth of animals and plants.

5. PROCEDURE DETAILS
5.1 Application of Facility Standard (for newly installed and existing facilities)
5.1.2 Previously installed facilities shall be checked to confirm that they meet the
requirements specified in section 5 Requirements. If they fail to do so,
systematic improvements shall be planned and implemented. Where it is difficult
to fulfill the said requirements, the division managing the facility shall submit an
Application for Exemption from Facility Structural Requirements*2 to the Division
president. The facility shall be exempted from the said requirements only if the
application is approved. The application shall clearly state the reasons for the
exemption and provide evidence. If the person in charge is unable to reach a
decision concerning exemption, the HOYA Group Director for Environmental
Protection, Occupational Safety and Health shall be consulted and a decision
shall be made. Facilities that have been exempted shall be re-examined within
two years.
5.1.3 Where the rank of the person designated to grant approval is clearly stated
in the division rule, granting of approval is not limited to the Division president.
*2 The form is included in the attached document. The person who signs the
application form can be changed to suit the actual situation in the workplace.
5.2.1 To prevent any harmful effects on the environment inside or outside the
workplace from scattering, leakage, outflow or permeation of hazardous
substances, the workplace shall clearly designate the procedures to be taken in
response to any abnormality or emergency that might occur. The procedures
shall include the following:

5.3 Requirements.
The following requirements have been established for the specific facilities
mentioned to prevent pollution of soil or water by HOYA Group facilities.
Labels shall be fixed to each tank clearly identifying the contents. Where it is not
practical to fix labels to each airtight tank, the list of contents shall be posted at
the airtight tank installation location.
1) Every airtight tank shall have a tank dike with a total volume greater than that
of the airtight tank (i.e. dike capacity can accommodate the entire volume of
hazardous substances in the tank). However, in cases where volume is limited
to a fixed volume during operation (e.g. a limit of 1/2 the total volume), the
volume of the tank dike installed shall be at least the same as the fixed volume.
2) When condition 1) cannot be met, measures shall be taken to prevent any
discharge of the hazardous substances inside or outside the workplace. (e.g. a
system using a leak sensor or a system that returns or transfers discharge to the
unprocessed water tank.)
3) The tank dike and the surface of the same shall be made of a material suited
to the characteristics of the hazardous substances in the airtight tank.
4) When necessary, a drainpipe shall be installed in the tank dike. Drainpipes
shall have the following structural features.
a) Drainpipes shall have a valve attached.

Version No.: 01 Page 3 of 2
b) The drain valve shall be labeled to indicate that it should always be kept
closed.
c) The drainpipe shall be designed to prevent leaks of hazardous substances in
the event of a malfunction (e.g. by installing a shut-off plate or a double valve.)
5) Airtight tanks containing substances that might generate heat, ignite or
explode when combined shall not be installed in close proximity. Or, if they are
installed in close proximity, each airtight tank shall be equipped with a tank dike
and measures shall be taken to prevent the combining of the substances (e.g.
H2SO4 and NaOH)
1) If there is any possibility that rainwater might enter the tank dike, the tank dike
shall be appropriately maintained to ensure that it has sufficient actual capacity.
2) Rainwater that has accumulated inside the tank dike shall be released after
confirming that it contains no hazardous substances.
3) If rainwater accumulated in the tank dike contains hazardous substances,
appropriate measures shall be taken prior to releasing the water. (e.g. treatment
with a neutralizer, transferal to a wastewater treatment plant, etc.)
1) If the airtight tank is filled by hand, a level gage shall be used to check the
level inside the airtight tank as it fills in order to prevent overflow of hazardous
substances from the top of the airtight tank.
2) If the airtight tank is filled automatically, it shall be equipped with an overflow
alarm that automatically halts the auto-fill function when there is a risk of
overflow.
3) If installing an overflow pipe, the pipe shall be constructed to return fluid from
the overflow pipe into either the supply airtight tank or the tank dike.
F) Inspections
1) The workplace shall establish a list of items for inspection and carry out
regular inspections to confirm that the airtight tank, the tank dike and the
attached valves, level gages, etc. are all functioning properly.
2) The workplace shall record inspection results and save these records for a
specified period of time.
3) If the inspection reveals any abnormality, measures shall be promptly
implemented to prevent any impact on the environment inside or outside the
workplace.
5.3.1.2 Piping
1) Piping for production*4 shall be installed separately form piping for other
uses such as rainwater*5 or ordinary wastewater*6. In addition, piping for
wastewater from production shall be installed separately for each process.
2) Piping for production shall be designed in such a way that leaks can be
easily detected (e.g. by using leak sensors and installing piping above
ground).

B) Pipe Labeling
C) Valve Labeling
1) Valves shall be clearly marked to indicate the direction for opening and
closing and whether the valve is opened or closed*7 (e.g. arrows, indicator
tags (by color or shape, etc.).
2) The rules for distinguishing the items in 1) above shall be decided by the
workplace and applied uniformly.
*7 This item does not apply to facilities that fall under the HOYA Group
Machinery Safety Standard.
D) Inspection
1) The workplace shall establish a list of items for inspections and carry out
regular inspections to confirm that all pipes and related equipment such as
valves and gages are functioning normally.
2) The workplace shall record inspection results and save these records for
a specified period of time.
3) If the inspection reveals any abnormality, measures shall be promptly
implemented to prevent any impact on the environment inside or outside
the workplace.
The workplace shall prepare accurate diagrams of all piping and revise
them promptly whenever the layout is changed.
