While NEC Electronics endeavors to enhance the quality, reliability and safety of NEC Electronics products, customers 

agree and acknowledge that the possibility of defects thereof cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize risks of damage to property 

or injury (including death) to persons arising from defects in NEC Electronics products, customers must incorporate sufficient safety 

measures in their design, such as redundancy, fire-containment and anti-failure features. 

 

NEC Electronics products are classified into the following three quality grades: “Standard”, “Special” and “Specific”. 

The "Specific" quality grade applies only to NEC Electronics products developed based on a customer-designated “quality 

assurance program” for a specific application. The recommended applications of NEC Electronics product depend on its quality 

grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of each NEC Electronics product before using it in a particular 

application. 

 

"Standard": Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, audio and visual 

equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic equipment and industrial robots. 

 

"Special": Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster systems, anti-

crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed for life support). 

 

"Specific": Aircraft, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life support systems 

and medical equipment for life support, etc. 

 

The quality grade of NEC Electronics products is “Standard” unless otherwise expressly specified in NEC Electronics data 

sheets or data books, etc. If customers wish to use NEC Electronics products in applications not intended by NEC Electronics, they 

must contact NEC Electronics sales representative in advance to determine NEC Electronics 's willingness to support a given 

application. 

(Notes) 

(1) " NEC Electronics" as used in this statement means NEC Electronics Corporation and also includes its majority-owned 

subsidiaries. 

(2) " NEC Electronics products" means any product developed or manufactured by or for NEC Electronics (as defined above).
