Name of Task Force (TF): GHG Emission Characterization Task Force

Global Technical Committee: EH&S
Originating Technical Committee Region: Japan


_____________________________________________________________________________
1. Charter: (State the objective of the proposed TF.)
The TF develops a document with purposes as follows.
- This document shows guidance for characterization of GHG (greenhouse gas) emitted from ME (manufacturing equipment) and abatement system.
- This document shows guidance to calculate decomposition rate on ME and abatement efficiency on abatement system.

_____________________________________________________________________________
2. Scope: (Define the specific activities that the TF will conduct.)
The TF develops a standard with following scope.
- GHGs to which this guide is applied are CF4, C2F6, C3F8, c-C4F8, CHF3, SF6 and NF3.
- This guide applies to GHG emission characterization from ME.
- This guide applies to GHG emission characterization from abatement system.
- This guide applies to quantify decomposition rate of GHG through chemical reaction on ME and abatement efficiency of GHG on abatement system.
