red Legally Restricted SubstancesThis list mentions the strictest legal requirements both inside and outside the EU but uses as a starting point European Union Regulations, European Union Directives and European Union Decisions. In case National Laws and EU Rules are similar in their meaning, only the EU Rules are presented. It may well be that in some EU countries no legislation exists whereas in other EU countries legal requirements apply.

yellow Restricted Substances under investigationSubstances appearing under the yellow heading are actually under investigation with no specific legal basis yet. They may also appear on the list based on voluntary restriction by a number of international retail companies and based on opinions of Non Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) .

green Other attention pointsOther Attention Points marked green; they may appear on RSL's of a number of international retail companies, in requirements from Eco label organisations or are mentioned by NGO’s.

The RSL is related to the product, not to the process, unless otherwise stated (e.g. Phenolic compounds) and is divided into three categories with three different colours:

Methodology

The production of apparel from raw materials to finished products is a long process. It starts with fibres via spinning, weaving or knitting, bleaching, dyeing, printing, washing, cutting and sewing to a garment. For leather garments it starts of course with hides followed by the tanning process and special leather processing. The processes are not only mechanical but they can be considered as chemical intensive and complex.

This Restricted Substances List ( RSL) is intended to inform apparel companies on International Regulations restricting or banning the use of chemicals in apparel products including accessories attached to garments for example zip fasteners, buttons, etc. and packaging materials.

Most of these Regulations are not only valid for the European Union countries but also have EEA (European Economic Area: European Union countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) relevance.

In addition National Laws in a global context for example originating from Canada, Japan, Switzerland and the USA appear in the RSL.

The Greenpeace reports “Dirty Laundry” and “Dirty Laundry 2: Hung Out to Dry” caused a number of well known brands for example Adidas, C&A, G-Star, H&M, Li-Ning, Nike and Puma to commit to the objective to lead the apparel and footwear industry towards zero discharge of hazardous chemicals for all products across all pathways in the supply chains by 2020. See also http://roadmaptozero.com. In this RSL a column has been added to indicate which substances are subject of this commitment.

A valid Oeko-Tex ® Standard 100 Certificate issued by the Oeko-Tex ® Organisation (www.oeko-tex.com) covers most of requirements of this RSL. Oeko-Tex ® Standard 1000 has a wider scope: it covers also environmental aspects. Certification according to Oeko-Tex ® Standard 100 or Oeko-Tex ® Standard 1000 can be more cost effective than single tests.

Blue Sign Certification ® or meeting the EU Eco label requirements is also a cost effective way to fulfil the RSL Recommendations.

REACH

Within the framework of the European Union REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) substances, preparations and articles will be assessed on their risks for health and environmental aspects. This process is managed by ECHA, the European Chemical Agency located in Helsinki, Finland. As per 19-12-2012 a list of 138 Substances of Very High Concern has been published by ECHA (see Annex, Pages 19-29).

Therefore and as a result of a dynamic process this RSL will be updated on a regular basis in order to assist in the development of responsible entrepreneurship and they can be used as a basis for the development of Quality Management Systems.

EXPLANATION ON THE ACTION OF SUBSTANCES

ASBESTOS is a naturally occurring group of fibrous silicate minerals. These thin, long, and flexible fibers can be used in textiles. Asbestos fibers are strong, durable and fire resistant. Asbestos fibres are carcinogenic. It is unlikely that they are found in current textiles except for fire-fighting clothing.

ALLERGENIC DISPERSE DYES are generally water-insoluble colourants that are mainly used for dying polyester, nylon and cellulose acetate. Some disperse dyes have an allergenous (sensitizing) potential to the human skin and can be considered as a possible threat to health, especially if the dyes exhibit poor colour fastness to perspiration fastness.

ANTIMONY is used in flame-proofing, paints, ceramics, enamels, a wide variety of alloys, electronics, and rubber. The flame-retardant applications can include children's clothing, toys, aircraft and automobile seat covers.

ARSENIC is a notoriously poisonous metalloid. The toxicity of arsenic to insects, bacteria and fungi makes it an ideal component for the preservation of wood.

AZO DYES which by reductive cleavage may release one of more aromatic arylamines incorporate one or several azo groups (N=N) bound with aromatic compounds. Thousands of azo dyes exist, however, only those which can degrade to form the listed amines are considered to be carcinogenic and are therefore restricted in textiles, leather, apparel and toys.

BIOCIDES are biologically active substances, and their toxic and biocidal nature enables them to kill or harm living things. Since biocides by nature are used to have detrimental effects on biological organisms, they are at the same time a serious threat to living organisms that were not intended to be controlled. Biocides have adverse effects on the nervous system when entering into the human body. They may irritate eyes, skin, and the respiratory system.

BROMINATED AND CHLORINATED FLAME RETARDENTS

are chemical compounds that can be incorporated into textiles or applied by sprays to prevent burning. Brominated flame retardants are used in a wide range of products like automobiles, electronics and textiles because of their stability and heat resistance. Some flame retardents are as toxic as PCB’s and DDT and are suspected to be carcinogenic. They persist once they enter the environment and food chain, and are likely to pass up the food chain.

CADMIUM is a naturally occurring metal. In textiles and apparels, cadmium is usually used as pigments, coatings, stabilizers in plastics, dyes, paints, inks and metal accessories. Cadmium is also a well known stabilizer for the manufacturing of polymers like PVC. Cadmium and its derivatives are suspected to be carcinogenic.

CARCINOGENIC DYES From the listed dyestuffs it is proven that they are carcinogenic.CHLORINATED AND OTHER SOLVENTS are organic chemical compounds that vaporize under normal conditions and enter the atmosphere. Common artificial VOCs include thinners

and dry cleaning solvents. CHLORINATED PARAFFINS are polychlorinated alkanes and they are divided into three categories depending on the length of the carbon chain, short (C10-C13),

medium (C14-C17), and long (C20-C30). Short chain chlorinated paraffins are used as flame retardants for plastics. They are also used as a plasticizer in rubber, paints, and adhesives. Short Chain Chlorinated Paraffins are classified as dangerous to the environment because they are very toxic to aquatic organisms, and may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

CHLOROBENZES AND CHLOROTOLUENES

are used in batch dyeing of synthetic fibres, particularly polyester fibres, to promote the absorption and diffusion of disperse dyes into the fibre at relative low temperatures. Carriers are important for dyeing blends of wool and polyester as wool cannot be dyed at higher temperatures than boiling. There is a risk that the carriers will remain on the textile material or partially evaporate during subsequent processes. Most of these carriers are toxic to humans and aquatic organisms, and some are even carcinogenic.

CHLOROPHENOLS are polychlorinated compounds used as a preservative to wood, leather, and textiles. PCP and TeCP have been used as an antifungal in wood products, textiles, and leather.PCP and TeCP are irritatants to the skin, eyes and mouth and can cause harmful effects to the liver, kidneys, blood and lungs and are probable human carcinogens.

Page 37



CHROMIUM VI In textiles and apparels, Chromium VI is usually associated with chrome tanned leather. Chromium VI can cause skin irritation and is considered to be carcinogenic.

COBALT is a hard, lustrous, grey metal. Cobalt compounds have been used for centuries to impart a rich blue color to glass, glazes, and ceramics. After nickel and chromium, cobalt is a major cause of contact dermatitis. At higher levels of exposure cobalt shows mutagenic and carcinogenic effects

COPPER is a metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. Copper is an essential trace nutrient to all high plant and animal life. In animals, including humans it is found primarily in the bloodstream, as a co-factor in various enzymes and in copper-based pigments. However, in sufficient amounts, copper can be poisonous and even fatal to organisms.

DI-METHYL FORMAMIDE The primary use of dimethyl formamide is as a solvent with low evaporation rate. Dimethyl formamide is used in the production of acrylic and aramid fibers and plastics. DMF has been linked to cancer in humans, and it is thought to cause birth defects. In some sectors of industry women are banned from working with DMF

DIMETHYL FUMARATE is used by producers as a biocide to kill moulds that may cause furniture or shoe leather to deteriorate during storage and transportation in a humid climate. Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is a fungicide that manufacturers use for maritime transport and the storage of consumer goods. DMF can cause acute dermatitis, eczema, and general fatigue to the persons who have been in contact with this substance.

DIOXINS AND FURANS Dioxins are a made up of 75 polychlorinated compounds called chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins. Each dioxin has a different level of toxicity based on its structure and tissue absorption qualities. Furans are also polychlorinated compounds (135 different furans exist). Dioxins and furans are structurally and toxically similar. Dioxins/furans are common by-products of incomplete combustion (burning) of organics in a chlorine rich environment and are often associated with the production of pesticides, PVC, and other similar chlorinated chemicals. It is unlikely that dioxin and furan legislation will apply to apparel and textiles.

DYES WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS

It has been assessed that this blue colourant harms the environment as it has a high aquatic toxicity, is not easily degradable and reaches the environment via waste water.

FLUORINATED GREENHOUSE GASES Fluorocarbons are mainly used as substitutes for CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) and HCFCs (Hydro fluorocarbons), both of which are ozone depleting substances that the 1987 Montreal Protocol has progressively phased out of production. Fluorocarbons are mostly used as refrigerants in refrigerators and air-conditioners and as propellants in industrial aerosols. Other applications include foam-blowing, solvent cleaning and textile coating. Textiles coated with fluorocarbons provide good resistance to weathering, UV light aging, chemical and soil resistance. Treated textiles also give good water-proof and anti-pilling effect. Coated textiles.

FORMALDEHYDE is a volatile organic compound whose chemical properties make it suitable to be used for cross-linking amongst others in anti-creasing, anti-shrinking, and water repellence finishing, etc. to fabrics. It can be mixed with phenol and urea to form polymeric resins. In textiles and apparel, formaldehyde may be found in stiffened and permanent pressed fabric. Formaldehyde is a toxic chemical which can induce irritation to mucous membrane and is suspected to cause cancer.

HEAVY METALS (GENERAL) are found in dyestuffs and used as dye-fixing agents. They also occur in natural fibres like cotton. Many heavy metals are bio accumulative when absorbed by the human body through perspiration and give cause for concern in health terms such as chronic toxicity, allergenic reactions and cancers.

ISOCYANATES Isocyanates are widely used in the manufacture of flexible and rigid foams, fibres, coatings, elastomers, polyurethane products.LEAD is a soft, metal, also considered to be one of the heavy metals. Lead is a poisonous metal that can damage nervous connections (especially

in young children) and cause blood and brain disorders. In textiles and apparel, lead can be found in plastics, paints, inks, pigments, and metal components.

MERCURY also called quicksilver is a heavy metal. Mercury is liquid at or near room temperature and pressure. Mercury exposure at high levels can harm the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs and immune system.

NICKEL Nickel is metal often combined with other metals to create alloys with increased hardness and resistance to corrosion. In textiles and apparel, nickel is mainly found in accessories for textiles and clothing, paints, inks, trims, plastics, and metal components. Nickel can cause extreme allergies.

ORGANOTIN COMPOUNDS are a class of chemicals combining tin and organics such as butyl and phenyl groups. Organotin are predominantly found in the environment as antifoulants in marine paints, but they can also be used as biocides (antibacterials), and/or heat stabilizers in plastics. In textiles and apparel, organotins may be used in plastics, inks, paints, and heat transfer material. It is also used to prevent unpleasant odours.

PERFLUORINATED CHEMICALS are organofluorine compounds and are often used as surfactants. Like other fluorocarbons it repels water. PFOS is the main ingredient in many stain repellent finishes. Also used as: binder in non-woven fabrics to enhance dyeing; wetting agents to improve coverage and penetration of substances; achieve finish-on-yarn uniformity; water resistance; oil resistant coatings on textiles, leather, and other materials. These chemicals are persistent, bioaccumulative and poisonous to mammals.

PESTICIDES pesticides are substances or mixtures of substances used to kill a pest. A pesticide may be a chemical substance, biological agent (such as a virus or bacteria), antimicrobial, disinfectant or device used against any pest. Although there are benefits to the use of pesticides, there are also drawbacks, such as potential toxicity to humans and animals. In textiles and apparel, these pesticides may be found in natural fibres, primarily cotton.

pH VALUE pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. A solution whose pH is 7 is said to be neutral, which means that it is neither acidic nor basic. pH values that do not fall within the specified limits can cause skin irritation.

PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS NPEs/OPEs are included in the group of non-ionic surfactants called alkyl phenol ethoxylates (APEOs). NPEs and OPEs can degrade to NP and OP respectively. APEOs are used in detergents, scouring agents, wetting agents, softeners, emulsifier/dispersing agents for dyes and prints and as impregnating agents In leather tanning, APEO is used in de-greasing, finishing etc. In silk production for de-gumming. APEO could also be present in dyes and pigment preparations. Polyester padding and down/feather fillings are risky for APEO. These chemicals are liable to be toxic , persistent and to bioaccumulate.

PHTHALATES are a class of organic compounds added to plastics to increase flexibility. In textiles and apparel, phthalates can be associated with flexible plastic components, trims, screen and plastisol prints. Phthalates are reprotoxic and can cause birth defects and changes in hormone levels.

POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCB”s) and POLYCHLORINATED TERPHENYLS (PCT”s)

are persistent organic pollutants and have entered the environment through both use and disposal. Polychlorinated biphenyls commonly known as PCBs are man made chemicals. These chlorinated oils have a low degree of reactivity. They are not flammable, have high electrical resistance, good insulating properties and are very stable even when exposed to heat and pressure. Uses for PCBs quickly expanded to include hydraulic fluids, casting wax, plasticizers, pigments, adhesives, fire-retardants; vapour suppressants to extend the kill-life of insecticides; coatings to render fabric flame-proof, rot-proof and water-repellent, lacquers, varnishes and paints.

POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS (PAH’S)

are one of the most widespread organic pollutants. In addition to their presence in fossil fuels they are also formed by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels such as wood, coal, diesel, fat, tobacco, or incense PAH contaminations have been found in rubber but also in various plastics.

POLYVINYLCHLORIDE (PVC) is a widely used thermoplastic polymer. It can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers, the most widely-used being phthalates. In this form, it is used in clothing and upholstery It is commonly used in coats, jackets, aprons and bags. The global phase-out of PVC is advocated because it is claimed that dioxin is produced as a byproduct of vinyl chloride manufacture and from incineration of waste PVC in domestic garbage.
