Therefore, the design process, which introduces environmental concept, is named “Green Design”. Moreover, many environmental standards, criterions, acts or regulations are made due to the thinking of people’s concern and enthusiasm for environmental issue, such as ISO 14000, TCO’99, Energy Star, WEEE and ELV etc. In Taiwan, the automobile manufacturers are concerned about if their products are qualified to the environmental regulations. For raising the ability of green design and evaluation, especially in the part of chemical substances’ impact, a convenient and efficient process is essential. 　In this study, a feasible Chinese Toxic Potential Indicator (TPI) evaluation process is built up based on the existing research achievement. The proposed process combines the “The Table of Hazardous Substance Declaration for Chinese Languages”, “The Result Table of Hazardous Impact Evaluation” with “The Method of Unit Transformation for Allowable Workplace Concentration”. Furthermore, the Chinese version TPI calculator is developed for evaluating chemical substances more easily. The evaluation of automobile manufacturer chemical substances are successfully illustrated the proposed process. The relative proposed research achievement could be regarded as the pillar for green design and escalate the Taiwan automobile industry.
