7-4. Microwave Ovens
1 Items and Evaluation Criteria
M icrowave ovens Evaluation Criteria
1 Energy consumption efficiency does not exceed the amount
listed in the appropriate category in the Table. 2
Content information of specific chemical substances lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium VI compound, PBB, PBDE
can be easily obtained on websites and labels.
Factors for Consideration 1
The item is designed so that it can be easily dismantled and its materials separated to facilitate either reuse of components or
recycling of materials. 2
The item uses a large amount of recycled components that have already been used, and uses as large amount of recycled plastic
as possible if plastic components are used. 3
Packaging and stowage is to be as simple as possible and take into account ease of recycling and reduced environmental
impact upon disposal. 4
A system for the collection and reuserecycling of packaging, etc. is considered.
Note: 1. Products that meet the criteria below will not be considered Microwave ovens under
consideration in the evaluation criteria of this section: 1
Products equipped with gas ovens. 2
Products manufactured for commercial use. 3
Products that exclusively use rated power input of 200 voltages. 4
Products with interior height of less than 135 millimeters. 5
Products that are integrated into system kitchens, etc. 2. Labeling of content information of specific chemical substances will be indicated in
accordance with JIS C 0950:2008 The marking for presence of the specific chemical substances for electrical and electronic equipment.
3. Recycled plastic denotes part or all of plastic once used as a part of a useful product that
has been discarded, remnants discarded during the manufacturing process, or the recyclereuse of defective articles This excludes, however, plastic that has been
recycled in the process of manufacturing the product.
4. In order to manage chemical substances adequately, each procurement organization is to manage and maintain content information of specific chemical substances until the
item in question is discarded.

compartment determined by regulations for designating product quality of electric appliances based on household appliance quality display regulations 1962 regulation
No.104.
2. Energy consumption efficiency is calculated according to “2 Energy Consumption Efficiency M easurement M ethods,” in M inistry of Economy, Trade and Industry
notification No. 59 M arch 29, 2006, based on the Law Concerning the Rational Use of Energy.
2 Target Setting Guideline Ratio of the number of microwave ovens meeting the criteria to the total number of
microwave ovens to be purchased in the fiscal year.
