4. Composite rating stands for the amount Y1 or Y2 listed in note 5. Index stands for amount per index item for x1, x2, x3, x4 as listed in note 5; Additional rating stands for amount per index item for x5, x6 as listed in note 5. Rating stands for the amount calculated in accordance with formulas for y1, y2, y3, y4, y5 as listed in note 5.

5. Composite rating, rating, index, and additional rating are to be derived from the following: Y1 = (y1 + y2 + y3) + y4 Y2 = (y1 + y2 + y3) + Y5 y1 = x1-10 (60≦x1≦100) y2 = x2 + x3 (0≦x2+x3≦40) y3 = 0.5×x4 (0≦x4≦40)

y4 = -x5 + 75 (60≦x5≦75, x5<60→x5=60, x5>75→x5=75) y5 = -0.5x6 + 20 (0≦x6≦10→x6=10, 10≦x6≦20→x6=20,20≦x6≦30→x6=30, x6>30→x6=40)

Y1, Y2 and y1, y2, y3, y4, y5, x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6 stand for the following amount. Y1 (composite rating of non coated printing paper): the sum of y1, y2, y3, y4 with the

amount below decimal point eliminated. Y2 (composite rating of coated printing paper): the sum of y1, y2, y3, y5 with the amount

below decimal point eliminated. y1: calculated rating for recycled pulp content, rounded to one decimal place. y2: calculated rating for the content of pulp certified by forest certification system and pulp

manufactured with lumber obtained from thinning, rounded to one decimal place. y3: calculated rating for proportion of pulp content that is used in accordance with method

of material procurement with sustainable goals, rounded to one decimal place. y4: calculated sum of degree of bleaching, rounded to one decimal place (not applied for

colored printing paper or fancy paper (including fine quality of colored paper and general colored paper used colorant)). 5 point adding in case of colored printing paper and fancy paper of Rank A (the one not obstructed in recycling to printing paper) that meet the criteria of “printing” (refer to printing section), there is no adding point for other paper.

y5: calculated sum of amount of coating, rounded to one decimal place. x1: content ratio of recycled pulp satisfying minimal guarantee (%)
