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

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.

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.

More Information and Guidelines

General

Abbreviations and definitions in this document

CAS no Chemical Abstracts Service number, an identification number for

chemicals in this database.

cfu Colony forming units. The content of bacteria, mould and yeast in a

product is measured by counting the number of colonies formed in

the sample. This is the unit for this counting.

CI no Colour Index number

cl Centilong

cSt centiStokes, which is the same as 1mm2/s. This is the unit used for

kinematic viscosity.

GMP Good Manufacturing Practice

mechanically disjointed into different materials.

IU International Unit. A unit used when measuring vitamins.

Kinematic

viscosity

Describes how fast a fluid is spread on a flat surface in relation to its

mass, i.e. weight.

Organoleptic Refers to any sensory property of a product, including smell, taste,

colour and feel.

ppm Parts per million, which is the same as mg/kg.

Appendix C - Permitted Colorants in Cosmetic Products

Appendix C – Permitted Colorants in Cosmetic Products

All substances listed below are permitted as colorants in Cosmetic Products under the specific

restrictions and requirements laid down.

The numbers under the column “Field of application” mean:

1) Colouring agents permitted in all cosmetics products.

2) Colouring agents permitted in all cosmetics products, except those intended for use in the area of eye (eye lid, eye lashes and area below the eye down to the cheek bone).

3) Colouring agents permitted only in externally applied cosmetic products. They should not intend to come into contact neither with the mucous membrane (includes the intimate/genital area and the oral cavity of the mouth) nor with the lips.

4) Colouring agents permitted only in externally applied cosmetic products, except those intended for use in the area of

eye. They should not intend to come into contact neither with the mucous membrane nor with the lips.

CI 16035 Red X Shall not be exposed to oxidising or reducing agents or any other condition that may affect their integrity. The aluminium lake of this colour is permanently permitted in cosmetics intended for use in the area of the eye. See also 21 CFR 74.2340.

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.
