The American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) has published the fourteenth edition of its Restricted Substances List (RSL), covering apparel, footwear, and home textiles.
“In a complex global supply chain, the US apparel and footwear industry will find the updated AAFA Restricted Substances List to be a helpful tool as part of an overall robust chemical management program,” said AAFA environmental committee chairman John Eapen.
Reviewed and updated every six months, the publication covers chemicals and other substances whose presence in a product is restricted through a government regulation or law. The list identifies the most restrictive iteration of that regulation worldwide.
The list is a key resource for chemical management strategies, and is available as a free download from AAFA’s website. As well as English, it is available in Chinese, Vietnamese, and Spanish.
