実際に届いたのはこちらです。

（確認事項）
・実際に届いたのはUVランプでよろしいですね？

・黄色い線でマークされた部分が製品仕様書の2番（食品接触パーツ）で間違いないですか？
その場合，2番のパーツ名はUVランプそのものではなく，ＵＶランプの構成品の一部としての（UVランプ保護するための）石英ガラス管となります。
適切な名称に変更いただく必要があります。

Translation / English

Here is what actually arrived.

(Confirmation Items)
・The item that arrived is the UV lamp, correct?

・Is the part marked with the yellow line the number 2 (food contact part) in the product specification sheet without a doubt?
If that's the case, the name of part number 2 is not the UV lamp itself, but the quartz glass tube that is part of the UV lamp assembly (for protecting the UV lamp).
It will be necessary to change to the appropriate name.

Translation / English

The item we received actually is this.

(Things to be confirmed)
- Is my understanding correct that item you received actually is UV lamp, right?

- Is it correct that the part marked with yellow line is No.2 (food contact parts) in the product specifications?
In this case, No.2 part name is not UV lamp itself, but the quartz glass tube as one of the components of UV lamp to protect the UV lamp.
We need to ask you to change it to an appropriate name.

・赤でマークされた部分は飲料水の侵入を防ぐ役割を果たし、材質はゴムとのこと承知しました。
ということは食品接触パーツでよろしいですね？
こちらは、食品接触パーツとして，事前にいただいていない情報です。
食品に触れるゴムは検査対象なので，こちらの部分について追加検査が必要です。
今回，到着分では検査必要個数に足りません。
後日、ゴム部分単品で送付手配いただく必要があります。
まずは，ゴムの具体的な材質情報をお知らせください。
（回答例：Silicone rubber,NBR,etc）

Translation / English

The part marked in red serves the purpose of preventing the intrusion of drinking water, and we understand that it is made of rubber. Does this mean it is suitable as a food contact part? This information regarding it being a food contact part was not provided beforehand. Rubber that comes into contact with food is subject to inspection, so additional testing is required for this part. The quantity of items for inspection in the shipment received this time is insufficient. Therefore, arrangements need to be made to send the rubber parts separately at a later date. First, please let us know the specific information about the material of the rubber.
(Example of answer: Silicone rubber, NBR, etc.)

なお，黒い部分は、内部に金属のようなものが使用されていようですが，食品に触れるのはゴム部分でよろしいですね？

・UVランプを構成するパーツの内，食品に触れる部分は、上記の「（UVランプ保護するための）石英ガラス管」と「（赤で示した）ゴム」の2パーツで間違いないですか？


5　O-Ring1
「シリコン」はシリコンゴムやシリコン樹脂の原料となります。
原材料は「シリコン」で回答いただいております。
原材料の加工方法次第でゴムや樹脂になります。
シリコン樹脂で間違いないでしょうか？

Translation / English

Furthermore, it appears that the black part contains something similar to metal inside, but is it correct to assume that the part that comes into contact with food is the rubber portion?

Among the components constituting the UV lamp, are the parts that come into contact with food limited to the "quartz glass tube" (used to protect the UV lamp as indicated in red) and the "rubber" (highlighted in red)?

5. Regarding O-Ring1:
"Silicone" serves as the raw material for silicone rubber or silicone resin. You have provided "silicone" as the raw material. Depending on the processing method, it could become either rubber or resin. Would it be accurate to assume it is silicone resin?

Translation / English

Regarding the black part, I understand that it appears to have metal-like components inside, but only the rubber part comes into contact with food, correct?

・For the parts that make up the UV lamp, are the only parts that come into contact with food the quartz glass tube (for protecting the UV lamp) marked with yellow and the rubber indicated in red?

5. O-Ring1
"Silicon" is the raw material for silicone rubber and silicone resin.
You have answered that the raw material is "silicon."
Depending on the processing method of the raw material, it becomes rubber or resin.
Is it correct to say it is silicone resin?
