H&M Chemical Restrictions, 14 December 2009 3(52)
General
General
H&M has with concern for the health of customers as well as for the environment
and working conditions, established Chemical Restrictions for all H&M 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: Restricted Substances in Production
The Apparel/Accessories/Footwear/Interior Products and Food Contact Products
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.
Test methods are found in Appendix B.
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

H&M Chemical Restrictions, 14 December 2009 4(52)
General
Commitment
When signing H&M Standard Purchase Conditions Compliance Commitment, the
H&M supplier commits to comply with H&M Chemical Restrictions. It is the
supplier’s responsibility to inform all their downstream suppliers and
subcontractors about the content of the restrictions and to assure compliance.
By signing H&M Standard Purchase Conditions Compliance Commitment, each
supplier acknowledges that H&M reserves the right to:
� Check any product, any part of production and/or packaging, by any listed/appropriate method, at any time or stage of production.
� Cancel the ordered product or, if already delivered, return the goods if the product, production and/or packaging do not correspond to the restrictions.
� Hold the manufacturer/exporter responsible for any damage caused by the ordered product if the product, production and/or packaging do not
correspond to the restrictions.
� Receive the complete product information and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) about all products (dyes, colorants, solvents, chemicals etc.) included
in the production of a specific order and/or batch.
In the case of contradictory test result, H&M’s test result will prevail.

40 Permitted colorants are named by their CI no. or other commonly used denomination. The lakes and salts of the permitted colorants, using substances not prohibited in Annex II or not regulated in Annex V of EU Cosmetic Regulation, are also permitted except if otherwise specified under the headline “Other requirements”.
41 If there is no cross in the columns below the headline “Field of application” appropriate restrictions and conditions of use will be found under the headline “Other requirements”.
42 Colorants whose number is preceded by the letter “E” in accordance with the EU Directive of 1962 concerning foodstuffs and colouring matters must fulfil the purity requirements laid down in those Directives. They continue to be subject to the general criteria set out in Annex III to the 1962 Directive concerning colouring matters where the letter “E” has been deleted there from. See also EU Cosmetic Regulation Annex IV for more information about the limitations and purity requirements in Europe for each colorant specified above.
43 The insoluble Barium, Strontium and Zirconium lakes, salts and pigments of these colorants shall also be permitted. They must pass test for insolubility, which will be determined by the procedure laid down in Article 8 in the EU Cosmetic Regulation.
44 This colorant has two different names as a certified colorant in USA. Therefore this colorant has two different criteria regarding purity, other requirements, limitations and field of application.
