H&M Chemical Restrictions, 11 April 2012 3(55) General

General H&M has with concern for the health of customers as well as for the environment and working conditions, established H&M Chemical Restrictions for all products. H&M Chemical Restrictions consist of seven parts: Part 1: Apparel/Accessories/Footwear/Interior Products Part 2: Food Contact Products Part 3: Cosmetic Products Part 4: Toys Part 5: Electrical and Electronic Products Part 6: Packaging Part 7: Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL)

Part 1, 2 and 6 are divided into materials. The restrictions in Part 1 also applies to Part 2, 4 and 5 products. If the product is sold in a packaging, it must also comply with part 6. All products must comply with Part 7. Each limit in H&M Chemical Restrictions is valid for homogeneous parts of the concerned product. Individual restricted substances with CAS no are specified in Appendix A. All details on your product must comply with H&M Chemical Restrictions, see example below for a padded jacket, a water bottle and a lip gloss. The examples do not claim to be complete.

Apparel/Accessories/Footwear/Interior Products

Fabric & lining: Follow Textile restrictions in Part 1 Painted zipper & press buttons: Follow Metal restrictions in Part 1

for the metal. Follow the Plastic, Rubber, Paints & Surface coating restrictions in Part 1 for the paint.

Drawstring, stoppers & possible placement print: Follow Plastic,

Rubber, Paints & Surface coating restrictions in Part 1

Padding: Follow Fusing, Padding, Feather and Down restrictions in Part 1

Food Contact Products

Lid and bottle: Follow Plastic, Rubber, Paints & Surface

coating restrictions in Part 1 PE lid: Follow PE plastic restrictions in Part 2

PP bottle: Follow PP plastic restrictions in Part 2

Cosmetic Products

Lip gloss: Follow restrictions for cosmetic products in Part 3. Lid and bottle: Follow restrictions for packaging in Part 6.

H&M Chemical Restrictions, 11 April 2012 4(55) General

By accepting the H&M Standard Purchase Conditions, the Supplier commits to comply with the H&M Chemical Restrictions. It is the Supplier’s responsibility to assure compliance with H&M Chemical Restrictions and to inform all their downstream suppliers and subcontractors about the content of the H&M Chemical Restrictions. By accepting the H&M Standard Purchase Conditions, each Supplier acknowledges that H&M reserves the right to:

Inspect and test any product, any part of production and/or packaging, by any listed or appropriate method, at any time or at any stage of production.

Cancel the Order, or, if the products are already delivered, return the

products to the Supplier if the product, production and/or packaging do not correspond to the H&M Chemical Restrictions.

Hold the Supplier responsible for any damage caused by the ordered

product if the product, production and/or packaging do not correspond to the H&M Chemical Restrictions.

Receive the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all substances and

preparations (dyes, colorants, solvents, chemicals etc.) used in the production of a specific Order.

In the case of contradictory test results, the H&M test result will prevail.

More Information and Guidelines

Part 1, Apparel/Accessories/Footwear/Interior Products Information about the restricted substances, test methods and guidelines on how to work proactively with fulfilling H&M Chemical Restrictions is found in the “H&M Implementation Toolkit for H&M Chemical Restrictions –Apparel/Accessories/Footwear/Interior Products”1. Part 2, Food Contact Products Requirements on production and documentation for Food Contact Products, for example Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and test methods, are specified in “H&M Production and Documentation Requirements for Food Contact Products”1. Part 3, Cosmetic Products Requirements on production and documentation for Cosmetic Products, for example Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and test methods, are specified in “H&M Production and Documentation Requirements for Cosmetic Products”1. Part 4, Toys More information is found in “H&M Safety Requirements for Baby’s and Children’s wear”1 and “H&M Quality Standards and Requirements”1. Part 6, Packaging More information is found in “H&M PIM – Packing Instructions Manual”1. Part 7, Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL) This part of the Chemical Restrictions is assured in cooperation between the Quality Assurance and Sustainability department. 1 Download the document at H&M Group Supplier Website.

H&M Chemical Restrictions, 11 April 2012 6(55) General

Limits of Restricted Substances As defined below, substances may be restricted according to the specific limits: banned, not detected, concentration limit or usage ban. A substance may be restricted for use in production and/or as a component in the finished product. Reporting Limit Concentrations of specific substances can be measured by using different kinds of methods. These methods can be technically different and depend both on which type of substance that is to be measured and on the type of sample. However, none of the methods can determine concentrations down to zero. There will always be a lowest concentration below which the methods can’t determine the quantity of a specific substance. The lowest limit at which a substance is reported is called the reporting limit. Whenever technology is improved and implemented as standards, the new improved method will be applied and the reporting limit in H&M Chemical Restrictions will be changed accordingly. Banned When the restriction limit for a substance is expressed as “banned”, the substance must not be added to the product and it must not be used in production. The source of such substances may be as impurities in raw materials or they may be formed in the product. These substances must not be present in the finished product at concentrations above the reporting limit. Not Detected When the restriction limit for a substance is expressed as “not detected”, the substance must not be present in the finished product at concentrations above the reporting limit. The source of such substances may be as impurities in raw materials or they may be formed in the product. Also, some substances can be safely handled and are allowed to be used in the production process but must not be present in the finished product at concentrations above the reporting limit. Concentration Limit When the restriction limit for a substance is specified as a definite concentration, this means that the substance must not be present in the product at concentrations above this limit. The reason for a specific restriction limit may be for example legal requirements, environmental concerns, health concerns, etc. Usage Ban When the restriction limit for a substance is expressed as “usage ban”, the substance must not be used in production and it must not be added to the product. Impurities at low concentrations of these substances may be accepted only if technically unavoidable due to e.g. raw materials, formation in the manufacturing process, storage or packaging.
