The inks supplied for this purpose are: [[FILL: ink series/grades]]. We hereby declare that: **1. Heavy metals — Article 5(4).** The sum of the concentrations of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in the above inks does not exceed 100 mg/kg (0.01% by weight), in accordance with Article 5(4) of Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation). This requirement reproduces Article 11 of Directive 94/62/EC, which sets the same limit of 100 mg/kg for the same four metals. A result under that Directive therefore transfers to the PPWR limit. This declaration is supported by test report no. HCCEE26000403201, issued by SGS Vietnam on 3 March 2026 on samples of our ink products: total Pb + Cd + Hg + Cr(VI) **not detected (ND)** against the limit of 100 mg/kg under Directive 94/62/EC — Pass. The same report also records a pass under RoHS 2015/863 and a pass under EN 71-3 migration. It is further supported by test report no. HCCEE26000427101, issued by SGS Vietnam on 6 March 2026: REACH SVHC candidate-list substances (253 substances), each not exceeding 0.1% w/w — Pass. **Colour coverage.** The samples tested in the above reports carry colour BLACK and cover a schedule of more than fifty (50) ink products. [[FILL: confirmation that this tested schedule covers the inks printed on your labels — or the list of the actual colours used, with an equivalent test or statement for any colour outside the schedule.]] **2. PFAS — Article 5(5).** Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are not intentionally added to the above inks at any stage of their manufacture. Based on the technical information given by our raw material suppliers, the finished inks do not contain PFAS. [[FILL — optional, complete only if a PFAS test is held: "This statement is supported by test report no. …, issued by …, dated …."]] We do not perform any specific tests for this purpose beyond the information provided by our raw material suppliers. **3. Validity.** This declaration is valid for twelve (12) months from the date of issue. Yours faithfully, for CÔNG TY TNHH TOYO INK VIỆT NAM Name: [[FILL]] Title: [[FILL]] Date: [[FILL]] Signature: ______________________ Company seal / stamp (signature to be affixed over the company seal) --- ## NOTE — for the dossier, not part of the letter 1. **Upstream report HCCEE26000296603 remains a separate ask.** Report HCCEE26000403201 refers sample A1's results to report HCCEE26000296603, "where the samples are claimed to be identical" — that upstream report has never been sighted. Obtaining a copy is a document request to Toyo (requests pack B2, item 1). It cannot be drafted by us: only Toyo can issue it. The B2 covering email already asks for it. 2. **Sample-identity confirmation is likewise separate** (B2, item 2). Until the upstream report is sighted, the identity of the samples in the two reports cannot be asserted by anyone but Toyo. It stays in the covering email, not in this declaration. 3. **PFAS clause stands on genre, not measurement.** The wording follows the Silgan model (§12 rows 8–9): supplier information plus "not intentionally added". If Toyo holds any PFAS test, the optional [[FILL]] in clause 2 upgrades the clause from genre-standard to evidence-backed. 4. **The colour-coverage line is the load-bearing [[FILL]].** The SGS reports tested BLACK over a 50+ product schedule. The declaration only reaches Hoi Vu's labels once the signer ties that schedule to the inks actually printed by PHU HUNG PAPER AND PACKAGING CO., LTD on the labels supplied to Hoi Vu. If Hoi Vu's labels use colours outside the schedule, that fact must surface here — not be papered over. --- ## COVER NOTE (EN) — twin of the VI note sent to the supplier (reference copy for the dossier) 3 September 2026 TOYO INK VIETNAM CO., LTD.
