An object is to provide an expanded graphite sheet at the use stage that can prevent can prevent degradation in product quality and deterioration in product yield by inhibiting the expanded graphite sheet from containing impurities even when the expanded graphite sheet is actually used.An expanded graphite sheet at the use stage in a condition in which the expanded graphite sheet is packed with a packing material and thereafter removed from the packing material, characterized in that all of the amounts of Al, B, Be, Ca, Cu, Fe, Li, Mg, Ni, S, Ti, V, and Zn as determined by an ICP emission spectroscopy method, the amounts of K and Na as determined by an atomic absorption spectrometry method, and the amount of Si as determined by an absorption spectrophotometry method are at a level less than the detection limit.
