General

By accepting H&M Standard Purchase Conditions, the Supplier commits to comply with

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 H&M Chemical Restrictions.

By accepting 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 Safety Data Sheets (SDS) 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, H&M test result will prevail.

Part 1: Manufacturing Restricted Substance List (MRSL)

Part 1: Manufacturing Restricted Substances List4

(MRSL)

The Manufacturing Restricted Substance List (MRSL) consists of hazardous substances

potentially used in manufacturing. These substances may be especially harmful for workers

and/or the environment if not handled properly. By restricting intentional use of these

chemicals in the production we protect workers and the environment.

Clause 1: Substances are not allowed to be found in H&M production sites and used in H&M

production.

Clause 2: Substances are not allowed to be used in H&M production.

If a group of substances is marked with an asterisk* in the table below each included substance

is specified in Appendix A.1.

They are not valid for materials made from mechanically recycled PET bottles.

The restrictions are only valid for orders where H&M explicitly specify on the product that

recycled material is used.

Pre-consumer waste: The re-introduction of manufacturing scrap, such as waste from textile production, back into the yarn manufacturing process.

Post-consumer waste: A waste produced by the end consumer of a material stream such as worn out garments.

56 Remade materials are textile/waste, old garments and/or other products, both pre- and post-consumer waste. It‟s made into new designed products e.g. patchwork blankets.

4.1: 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.

68 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 III of EU Cosmetic Regulation, are also permitted except if otherwise specified under the headline “Other requirements”.

69 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”.

70 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.

71 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.

72 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.
