  • Introduction to the Restricted Substances List (RSL)

    As part of lululemon athletica canada inc.’s (hereafter referred to as “lululemon”) commitment to protect its guests, workers and the environment, lululemon has developed a Restricted Substances List (hereafter referred to as the “RSL”) to guide vendors, and to ensure safe and legally compliant products. The RSL contains substances that are banned or restricted from lululemon and ivivva-branded products (hereafter referred to as “lululemon”) based on worldwide regulatory standards. In addition, lululemon has voluntarily included certain additional substances in the RSL because they have been identified as hazardous to guests, workers or the environment. Vendors, including finished goods producers and raw material suppliers, as well as internal corporate teams, should review this document and understand how it applies to their work.

    NEW this year: The lululemon RSL is now aligned with the 2019 AFIRM RSL. The Apparel and Footwear International RSL Management Group or AFIRM is an organization of global apparel and footwear brands who work together toward harmonizing restricted substance requirements. Alignment with the AFIRM RSL ensures our requirements are best-in-class, and creates greater consistency for our vendors many of whom supply products to multiple AFIRM member brands.

    Our Commitment: Substances listed in Section 2.0 are restricted or banned from materials, trims and all componentry that is part of the final product. To achieve our goal of providing a RSL that is an effective tool for safety and compliance, this document aims to encompass the following qualities:

    • The RSL is comprehensive and includes relevant substances that are regulated or otherwise known to be harmful to humans and/or the environment.

    • The RSL will be monitored and updated regularly to incorporate changes in evolving manufacturing chemistry, government regulation, industry best practices, and expanding scientific knowledge.

    • Wherever appropriate, we seek to harmonize our RSL program with industry leadership standards.

    Our Partners: These RSL standards apply to all finished goods and raw material vendors including but not limited to factories, mills, dye houses, trims & componentry, printers, specialty finishing facilities, cut and sew facilities, laundries, and tanneries.

  • Introduction to the Restricted Substances List (RSL)

    Testing Process:

    A. Factory-Sourced Raw Materials:All factory-sourced trims and raw materials shall meet the requirementsset forth in this document (“the RSL Standards”).

    • Cost: All third-party Core, Supplemental and Systematic RandomTesting costs required to ensure compliance with the RSL will be thefactory’s responsibility.

    • lululemon may randomly audit factory-sourced raw materials for RSLcompliance. If any testing is done beyond the Core, Supplemental, andSystematic Random testing outlined in the Test Matrix, any testingfailures, retesting, reworking, or resourcing costs will be the factory’sliability. If no failures are found, lululemon will bear the third-partytesting costs. In addition, any product recalls, quarantine of failedmaterials, and logistics of collecting and returning failed products willbe the responsibility of the factory.

    B. Nominated Vendors of Raw Materials:All trims and raw materials from nominated vendors shall meet the RSLStandards set forth in this document.

    • Cost: All third-party Core, Supplemental and Systematic RandomTesting costs required to ensure compliance with the RSL will be theraw material vendor’s responsibility.

    • lululemon may randomly audit nominated vendors’ raw materials forRSL compliance. If any testing is done beyond the Core, Supplemental,and Systematic Random testing outlined in the Test Matrix, anytesting failures, retesting, reworking, or resourcing costs will be the

    vendor’s liability. If no failures are found, lululemon will bear the third-party testing costs. In addition, any product recalls, quarantine of failed materials, and logistics of collecting and returning failed products will be the responsibility of the vendor.

    Material submission:

    All materials submitted for RSL testing must be sent to a lululemon-approved global third-party laboratory (see Global Family for more information) to conduct testing in accordance with lululemon RSL requirements.

    Samples must be identical to materials that will go into finished products, and must be taken from the production line. Samples of materials must be wrapped in aluminum foil. Each test sample must be placed in an individually sealed, labeled polybag.

    Validity:

    Test results are valid for up to 12 months from the date the test report was issued. Any change in manufacturing such sourcing from a new facility or vendor, or processing changes (chemical inputs, new finishing or treatments, etc.) of raw materials invalidates previous tests on the changed item and requires new testing. lululemon must be notified of such changes. lululemon reserves the right to request additional core or supplemental testing at any time. The vendor is responsible for third-party testing costs should any failures be found.

    To ensure ongoing compliance, vendors must notify lululemon upon a certificate’s expiration and provide new valid certificate for their materials. Failure to do so will result in the vendors being subject to RSL testing by our appointed testing laboratories at the vendor’s expense.

    In the event of a failure, the lululemon Quality Assurance – Compliance & Testing team will work with the responsible party (i.e., factory or raw material vendor) to document and correct the failure. See section 5.0 for a list of global contacts.

    Personal Responsibility:

    A vendor (a) may not be paid for the order, (b) may be liable for fines, fees and all other liabilities related thereto and (c) may lose the right to continue to do business with lululemon. Vendors must send third-party lab test reports from an approved lab demonstrating materials comply with the RSL testing requirements.

    Required Action:

    As a vendor to lululemon, you are personally responsible for understanding the RSL standards, communicating the requirements to your internal teams, facilities, sub-contractors and suppliers, and delivering only compliant product. You are also responsible for seeking guidance from the lululemon team if you have any questions. Upon receipt of this document, vendor has an obligation to sign the ‘RSL CERTIFICATE OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND AGREEMENT’ in Appendix I. This is due within 3 (three) weeks from the date of receipt of the RSL document. Thank you for your partnership, commitment, and actions towards creating a safer environment for our global communities.

  • Raw Materials & Finished Product RSL

    These substances are banned or restricted in the use of any material and/or component that is part of a lululemon product.

    Definition of Ages

    Various countries define the terms “babies,” “Children,” and “Adults” differently. Based on Legislation, the age ranges listed in Table 1 satisfy the most restrictive global requirements.

    Table 1. Definition of Ages

    Age Range

    Babies 0 to 36 months

    Children 36 months to 14 years

    Adults 14 years and older

    Definition of Reporting Limits

    Values above which labs should report substances detected for purposes of data capture and harmonization. By reporting these values, instead of a simple PASS/FAIL, information can be captured by the supply chain regarding the presence of substances below the RSL limit. The reporting limits also allow data to be harmonized between various testing labs. Reporting limits are values at or above the method PQL (Practical Quantification Limit). The PQL represents the lowest level at which accurate, precise, and robust data can be reported. lululemon RSL reporting limits should be widely achievable by laboratories across the global analytical testing industry as well as allow for combined (composite) testing where applicable.

  • Composite Testing

    The lab will follow the below requirements when combining multiple colors into one test. A 20% safety factor is applied when composite testing up to three colors, thus the limit when compositing will be 80% of the original limit (example: if the RSL limit is 90 ppm, then the total limit in a composite test is 72 ppm).

  • Better Chemistry Resources

    To help vendors identify potential sources of restricted substances, assess and improve chemical & environmental management in facilities, and switch to better chemistry alternatives, a non-exhaustive list of publicly available resources is included below. Vendors should always confirm with the chemical supplier that their chemical products will meet lululemon’s RSL requirements.

    AFIRM Chemical Information Sheets

    Available in English, Chinese, Spanish and Vietnamese, the AFIRM Chemical Information Sheets discuss the likely sources of restricted substances, the reasons for their restriction, and information about safer alternatives.

    bluesign® bluefinder

    The bluesign® bluefinder is a web-based search engine to help textile manufacturers find bluesign® approved chemical products. The bluesign® approved chemicals are certified safe (under appropriate use) and can be used to produce quality materials. The tool also provides Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) information as well as guidelines to incorporate bluesign® approved chemical products into the manufacturing process. More than 7,000 commercial products are listed on the bluefinder, and lululemon vendors receive a 75% discount on their subscription to bluefinder.

    ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX®

    ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX® is an independent testing and certification system for chemicals, colourants and auxiliaries used to manufacture textiles. Chemical inputs certified under the ECO PASSPORT program pass OEKO-TEX’s criteria for restricted substances. Use the OEKO-TEX® buying guide to find ECO PASSPORT-certified chemical products.

    Higg Index Facilities Environmental Module

    The Higg Index Facilities Environmental Module (Higg FEM) from the Sustainable Apparel Coalition is a sustainability assessment tool that standardizes how facilities measure and evaluate their environmental performance, year over year. lululemon encourages facilities to use the FEM to self-assess their environmental management practices, and set strategies and goals for further improvement.

    Chemicals Management Guide and Training for Manufacturers

    This free, publicly available guide from the Outdoor Industry Assocation includes examples, templates, checklists, and other references to jumpstart your chemicals management program. The content is linked to relevant Higg FEM indicators, and can be used as a reference, in staff trainings, and other educational efforts.
