high-risk operations the Company strictly reviews the qualifications of operators
ensures that they are licensed and supervises on-site operations throughout the

SNS has established a dual prevention mechanism combining graded safety risk control
with hazard investigation and management. On one hand the Company conducts
annual comprehensive identification and assessment of hazards in all departments'
production activities products and equipment. On the other hand it implements
regular safety inspections including special inspections departmental self-checks
team-level inspections as well as daily and holiday checks to ensure continuous imple-
mentation of safety management measures. In 2024 the Company organised all depart-
ments to carry out hazard identification and evaluation work. This involved comprehen-
sively mapping out hazards present in various operational processes across depart-
ments followed by scientific classification using the LEC semi-quantitative assessment
method. A dynamic risk inventory was created and 14 unacceptable risks and 16 signifi-
cant environmental factors were identified. Based on these identification and rating
results corresponding control measures were developed to construct a comprehensive
risk protection network.Safety Culture Development
The Company prioritises enhancing employees' safety awareness and emergency
response capabilities and continuously advances occupational health and safety culture
as well as emergency preparedness. Comprehensive safety education is provided to all
new hires supplemented by regular internal safety training to ensure every employee
understands and complies with corporate safety protocols. Meanwhile the Company
regularly invites safety experts to conduct specialised lectures that disseminate occupa-
tional health knowledge and raise employees' safety consciousness. Through strength-
ened safety culture development the Company consistently elevates staff vigilance
against potential hazards thereby maintaining stable and reliably secure production
environments. Safety training organised by NDIV

Quality Management Process
In order to achieve critical quality objectives the Company strictly implements the Inspection and Test Control Procedures and conducts real-time monitoring and control of critical parameters. A
substantial number of instruments measuring tools and testing equipment are deployed with company-level and department-level metrology personnel assigned to perform daily management
and periodic calibration. The Company also outsources testing services conducting uniform inspections of monitoring and measuring equipment each quarter based on calibration due dates. It
also performs four to five physical and chemical tests monthly to ensure instruments and equipment operate in optimal condition.With a focus on quality management throughout the entire product lifecycle the Company establishes internal operating standards and procedural documents for design and development
production testing assembly and delivery phases. Control points are clearly defined to mitigate quality risks at every stage. In 2024 SNS and Sunny Seal enhanced the refinement of quality
