3. Answering Yes to both Battery questions is not acceptable and will cause an error.

1. In this example, TDCPP CAS No. 13674-87-8 is used in the cable jacket of a cable assembly. The cable is not used with a mouse. 2. TDCPP is listed as a Prohibited Substances in the PCD. 3. Before selecting a response, a supplier should always consult Table 1 of IBM ES 46G3772 for the scope of the restriction. TDCPP or Tris (1,3-dichloro-2-propyl)

phosphate (CAS 13674-87-8) is prohibited above 0.1% by mass in any product component. Exempt from this requirement are cables (except cables for mice), adaptors and other similar connecting devices and storage media, such as compact discs, for interactive software, such as computer games. Since the cable in this example is exempted, the supplier should answer No to this question.

The PCD is an MS Excel-based sourcing template with 16 tabs. As a best practice, start with the Instructions tab and work your way through the required tabs based on the guidance provided in the Instructions tab. All 10 questions must be answered on the Instructions tab.

Read the Instructions on each tab when completing the PCD.

Data Summary is the last tab in the PCD. It summarizes all contents from earlier tabs. Suppliers are encouraged to check this tab after completing all information. It will any display error message(s) found in the PCD. Make sure that all errors have been corrected before submitting the PCD.

The battery tab in the PCD must be completed if the battery has an IBM PN. When reporting battery data, only one IBM PN can be reported on the Part Numbers tab of the PCD.

Supplier Questions tab is intended for any comments or clarifications that suppliers want to share with IBM regarding responses to the PCD. Images can be inserted here provided that the PCD file size will not exceed 5MB.

For PCD related questions, contact WSP via LiveHelp Support which is available from the IBM - PCD Supplier Help Portal. The site contains recordings of previous trainings, Calendar or events, FAQs, Useful links and Desktop Support.
