Foreword
While Microsoft tests certain components and products, it does not guarantee or represent any certification(s) of compliance. The supplier is solely responsible to deliver fully-compliant components and/or products. Microsoft does not, by its provision of this testing process, assume any responsibility for supplier’s compliance or the compliance of any supplier-manufactured component and/or product, nor does Microsoft guarantee supplier’s compliance with this process will ensure that the component and/or product manufactured by the supplier is compliant. Each supplier will be solely responsible for any non-compliant component and/or product as well as any related corrective actions and/or resulting damages in accordance with the contract between Microsoft and the supplier.
This document is organized into two sections: Section 1 outlines Microsoft’s lab approval process and lists approved labs; Section 2 outlines the analytical testing process, requirements and test methodologies.
1.0 Laboratory Approval Process and Approved Labs
This section lists those laboratories (labs) that have been approved by Microsoft to conduct restricted substance analytical testing and describes the process for approving analytical labs to conduct specific analytical testing. Unless otherwise specified by Microsoft, only test reports furnished by Microsoft Approved Laboratories will be accepted as compliance documentation.
1.1 Approval Process
The following sub-section describes the approval process for Microsoft Suppliers’ In-House Lab and for third-party professional labs.
1.1.1 Suppliers’ In-House Lab
Microsoft suppliers who wish to have their internal lab approved by Microsoft to conduct limited testing, e.g. testing for Cadmium and Lead in plastic and PVC/cables, must meet all the following specifications per Appendix A:
· The lab must be set up in accordance with ISO 17025 standards.
· The lab must obtain accreditation certificate before, or within one year of, becoming a Microsoft Approved lab. (e.g., China CNAS, Taiwan CNLA, Korea KOLAS, Hong Kong HOKLAS, Singapore SINGLAS). A copy of a current certificate must be furnished to Microsoft as soon as it becomes available.
· Lab technician responsible for the management of the lab must answer Microsoft Lab Questionnaire – See Appendix C.
· The lab must complete restricted substance analytical testing on a set of samples provided by Microsoft. Results must be in appropriate format as described in Appendix B, and sent to Microsoft via env-docs@microsoft.com.
· Supplier must send Microsoft a presentation on lab’s capability, analytical instrumentations, sample preparation, and process flow chart.
· Lab Quality Manual (based on ISO 17025) along with current copies of lab staff training certificates must be provided.
· The lab staff must have thorough knowledge of sample preparation to meet “homogeneous” material testing.
· Upon the completion of all the above requirements, Microsoft will arrange for an on-site lab visit, which must be completed to Microsoft’s satisfaction. The visit may be performed by a Microsoft-designated third-party.
Note: Suppliers’ In-House Lab capabilities may be expanded and approved by Microsoft to cover additional testing, such as testing for PBBs/PBDEs using GCMS, Hg using EPA 3052 method, etc. Suppliers should notify their Microsoft Factory Manager (FM) or representative their readiness for this type of testing. Microsoft representative will notify a member of Microsoft environmental compliance team to initiate the approval process.
1.1.2 Third Party Professional Lab
Microsoft accepts analytical test reports from any professional third-party lab that meets the following minimum requirements:
· Thorough knowledge of RoHS testing methodology and the knowledge of component sample preparation, which is vital to material testing.
· The lab must conduct correlation tests frequently enough to ensure reliable results between each lab location throughout the region.
· Results must be appropriately formatted as described in Appendix B of this specification.
· The lab must have accreditation (based on ISO 17025) from relevant agencies (e.g., CNAS, CNLA, HOKLAS, SINGLAS, KOLAS).
2.0 Testing Process, Requirements and Test Methodologies
This section describes analytical testing process, requirements, and testing methodologies. Periodically, Microsoft will require Tier 1 suppliers to provide samples of final products to be sent to a Microsoft Approved Laboratory (MAL) for Restricted Substances testing.
Note: Suppliers should not confuse this Microsoft Restricted Substances testing program with their own responsibility to provide substantiated evidence in the form of declarations and test reports that attest to the absence of restricted substances in their products outlined in Microsoft H00642 Microsoft Restricted Substances Control System for Hardware Products and for software, packaging and games in S002689 Environmental Requirements for Packaging.
2.1 Scope
This testing process is a part of the Microsoft Interactive Entertainment Business process and applies to all Microsoft hardware, software, games, figurines, and their packaging. Packaging materials such as cardboards, clam shell, printed materials, manuals, labels, hang tabs, etc. shall follow requirements specified in Microsoft specification S002689 Environmental Requirements for Packaging.
2.2 Hardware Analytical Testing
Microsoft lists restricted substances in its specification H00594 Restricted Substances for Hardware Products. Following are the analytical methods that must be used to report the concentrations of substances in products, made for Microsoft.

· XRF is used to scan and screen every material and components
· Restricted substances detected by XRF will be further quantified by ICP, GCMS, and UV analytical instrumentations, if necessary
· Where total Br and/or Cr are detected by XRF, further analytical testing will be required; refer to next page for quantitative test methods.
2.3.2 Toy Product Testing
Those products categorized or considered as toy according to Microsoft Restricted Substances specification, H00594 Restricted Substances for Hardware Products, will be tested for eight toy metals and eight phthalates.
2.3.3 Headsets and Earphone Testing
In addition to RoHS substance testing requirements, found in Section 2.2 of this document, the use of eight restricted phthalates are banned in the production of Microsoft headsets and earphones; please see H00594 Restricted Substances for Hardware Products for more information. Microsoft requires testing for the listed eight phthalates by the suppliers; test reports must be submitted to Microsoft. The list of the eight phthalates is found in Section 2.3.1, Table 1.
2.4 Battery Testing
Refer to H08224 Battery Specification for Environmental and Safety Requirements for country-specific certification testing because specific laboratories and tests may be required depending on the battery chemistry and where the battery will be sold.

APPENDIX A: List of Suppliers’ In-House Approved Labs and Conditions
Note: Refer to Section 1.1.2 for Third Party Professional Lab qualification information.
The following labs are approved to analyze Polyvinylchloride (PVC) and similar soft plastic materials only, by using the following required methods:
· Digestion of Cadmium, per EN 1122, and Lead, per EPA 3050B
· Analysis using EPA 6010, 6020, 7420, 7421 or equivalent AA/ICP methods.
While suppliers may also test complex or mixed matrix materials (i.e., metals and/or hard plastic) as part of their internal Quality Assurance/Quality Control processes, these test results are not accepted by Microsoft as compliance documentation.
When compliance documentation for Microsoft is required, these materials must be tested by a third party professional lab.
Suppliers are also encouraged to use XRF as a screening method prior to conducting digestion analysis. The use of XRF requires special training in safety, sample preparation, and results interpretation. It must be used with adequate understanding of XRF analytical limitations and an understanding that XRF results are not accepted by Microsoft as compliance documentation.

APPENDIX B: Test Report Requirements
Please ensure the following requirements (items 1, 2 and 3) are included in analytical lab methods and reporting requirements for Microsoft products:
1. Calibration Methods
Linear calibration curve procedures for ICP and AA analyzers must include standard solution concentrations, which span the range of equivalent concentrations for Pb and Cd reported in samples analyzed, and include equivalent concentrations for Pb and Cd at the specification limit in samples. Concentrations equal to the Pb and Cd at the specification limit in samples can be calculated as follows for the standard digestion and analysis methods:
Conc. of analyzer calibration standard solution = Spec limit (ppm) X Weight of sample (in grams)/100
For a 0.5 gram sample, the calculations are shown below assuming standard methods with no dilution (DF=1):
Conc. of Pb calibration standard (ppm) = Pb Spec limit (100 ppm) X 0.5 gram/100 = 0.5 ppm
Conc. of Cd calibration standard (ppm) = Cd Spec limit (75 ppm) X 0.5 gram/100 = 0.375 ppm
2. Analysis methods
Each batch of samples processed for analysis must include spike and blank samples which are digested and analyzed in the same batch as the samples. The spike sample concentration should equal the Pb and Cd specification limit values (100 ppm for Pb; 75 ppm for Cd)
.
3. Reporting
Any result which is below the PQL calculated for the sample must be reported as non-detect (ND) at the PQL. For example, if the analyzer result is calculated to be equivalent to 2 ppm for a sample with a PQL of 5 ppm, the result is reported as "ND". Reporting of results must include the following:
· Sample identification, sample analysis result, PQL for sample.
· Blank identification, blank analysis result, PQL for blank.
· Spike identification, spike concentration, spike analysis result, % recovery.
· Any abnormalities occurring during sample preparation, digestion or analysis.
