7. Our manufacturing sites serving the automotive business apply the IATF 16949

standard. The IATF certifications confirm our compliance with requirements regarding the

quality management system in the automotive industry. Referring to customer requirements

and customer specific requirements (“CSR”) TDK always has and will continue to have the

policy of respecting individual agreements. Even if IATF 16949 may appear to support the

acceptance of unilateral requirements, we hereby like to emphasize that only requirements

mutually agreed upon can and will be implemented in our Quality Management System.

For clarification purposes we like to point out that obligations from IATF 16949 shall only

become legally binding if individually agreed upon.
