    According to the investigation, when Toray Company applied to a third-party agency in the United States for safety specification certification for some resin products, it added non-flammable substances to the submitted samples, making the composition of the sample inconsistent with the actual produ.


    The investigation found that the fraud dates back to at least 1986, a time span of more than 35 years, and had formed a tacit understanding among the company's inside.


    It is worth noting that after the scandal of tampering with product quality inspection data broke out in Toray's subsidiary in 2017, a comprehensive investigation was carried out on the whole group, but no problem of certification fraud was found until it was reported by internal employees at the end of 202 Only made it publ.


    On January 31, 2022, Toray announced that the company incorrectly identified certain resin products as having been certified by Underwriters Laboratories ("UL"), a global third-party safety science organization headquartered in the United Stat.
