1 Background

The ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme has developed a Manufacturing Restricted Substances List
(ZDHC MRSL) for the textile, apparel, and footwear (including leather) industries (‘Industry”). The
ZDHC MRSL addresses hazardous substances potentially used and discharged into the environment
during manufacturing and related processes deep within the value chain – not just those substances
that could be present in finished products. In 2014, ZDHC MRSL version 1 was released, along with
Chemical Guidance Sheets. The current version 1.1 was released in December 2015 and added
leather.

The ZDHC MRSL is a list of chemical substances that should not be intentionally used by the Industry
in the production of products. The ZDHC MRSL applies to chemicals used in facilities that process
materials and trim parts for use in the Industry. Chemicals in the ZDHC MRSL include solvents,
cleaners, adhesives, paints, inks, detergents, dyes, colourants, auxiliaries, coatings and finishing
agents used during raw material production, wet-processing, maintenance, wastewater treatment,
sanitation and pest control. ZDHC MRSL limits1 apply to substances in commercially available
chemical formulations and not those from earlier stages of chemical synthesis.

Now the ZDHC MRSL is being released in a digital format, rather than a static pdf type document.

2 Purpose

The ZDHC MRSL provides brands and suppliers with a single, harmonised list of chemical substances
banned from intentional use during manufacturing and related processes within the Industry supply
chain.

The ZDHC MRSL Version 1.1 applies to textiles and leather with separate sections for each material.
This separation accounts for the differences between the creation and processing of these materials
used within the Industry and the need to set limits applicable to each that reflect the functional use of
these chemicals. The ZDHC MRSL should be communicated to the value chain suppliers responsible
for production and conversion of raw materials into finished goods including agents, chemical
distributors and formulators, as well as facilities (especially cut & sew, wet-processing, laundries, and
tanneries). This is to support our goal of using ZDHC MRSL compliant chemical formulations, ensuring
that listed substances are not present in chemical formulations above established limits.

Notes: 1) The ZDHC MRSL does not replace applicable national environmental or workplace safety
restrictions. Worker exposure to chemical substances listed in this document, along with other
hazardous substances, must not exceed occupational exposure limits. 2) Chemical formulations also
must comply with all applicable legal restrictions, including any subsequent restrictions that establish
stricter limits. 3) The ZDHC MRSL does not replace legal or brand-specific restrictions on hazardous
substances in finished products.
1 Note: Threshold Limit values on restricted substances in chemical formulations are in some cases substantially
higher than limits on restricted substances in finished products. This is because restricted substances in finished
products are almost always found in smaller concentrations than in the chemical formulations used to produce
them. Chemical formulations are highly concentrated before being diluted upon application to textiles and other
materials.

3 How the ZDHC MRSL connects to other ZDHC Tools

The ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme takes a holistic approach to tackling the issue of hazardous
chemicals in the global Industry and its value chain through input chemical management, process
management and verification that banned hazardous chemicals are not present in outputs such as
wastewater and sludge. The ZDHC MRSL is the fundamental backbone and one part of that
approach.

3.1 The ZDHC MRSL Conformance Guidance

To accelerate the global impact of the ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme, ZDHC decided at a very
early stage not to start its own certification system for ZDHC MRSL conformant chemistry but instead
to leverage existing certification as indicators of ZDHC MRSL conformance.
Therefore, in June 2017, ZDHC launched the ZDHC MRSL Conformance Guidance (“Guidance”)
which provides chemical distributors and formulators with an indication system to assess the extent to
which a chemical formulation conforms to, in other words meets, the requirements of the ZDHC
MRSL.
ZDHC Accepted Certification Standards for ZDHC MRSL Conformance are listed on the ZDHC
Gateway – Chemical Module, ranging from level 1 to level 3 in accordance with the system set out in
the Guidance. Chemical formulations certified by these standards are directly verified and officially
ranked within the ZDHC Gateway – Chemical Module.

3.2 The ZDHC Gateway – Chemical Module

The ZDHC Gateway – Chemical Module is an easy to use, web-based platform that manufacturing
facilities can use to find chemical formulations that conform to the ZDHC MRSL in accordance with the
Guidance.
The ZDHC Gateway – Chemical Module lists chemical formulations and their ZDHC MRSL
conformance level, based on ZDHC accepted third-party product certifications or testing. A high level
of conformance (e.g. level 3) indicates a high level of confidence that the chemical formulation will
conform to the ZDHC MRSL.

3.3 The ZDHC Wastewater Guidelines

The ZDHC Wastewater Guidelines define a single, unified expectation for wastewater testing that goes
beyond regulatory compliance. Covering not only conventional wastewater parameters, it is also the
first guideline to define pass and fail criteria for chemical substances. Testing in accordance to the
ZDHC Wastewater Guidelines helps check whether or not chemical substances in the ZDHC MRSL
are in fact being used intentionally.

3.4 The ZDHC Gateway – Wastewater Module

The ZDHC Gateway – Wastewater Module is a global web-based platform that is designed to share
verified wastewater and sludge test data based on testing against the ZDHC Wastewater Guidelines. It
provides suppliers (manufacturing facilities) with an easy way to disclose secured and verified
wastewater and sludge test data to their clients (brands/retailers). With this we enable the suppliers to
reduce the number of unnecessary duplication on testing, and instead they could focus on improving
the quality of discharge.

4 Definitions

4.1 Chemical Substance

A chemical substance is a chemical element and its compounds in the natural state or obtained by any
manufacturing process (REACH, 2014)[1]. A chemical substance is usually identifiable by a single,
unique Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number or Colour Index (CI) number. The ZDHC MRSL will
primarily focus on chemical substances listed by CAS number and CI number, but also will include
groups of substances for which listing individual substances is not practical.

4.2 Commercial Chemical Formulation

A commercial chemical formulation is usually a proprietary blend of several chemical substances that
is available for purchase from chemical suppliers under their own trade name.

4.3 Usage Ban

A usage ban indicates that the ZDHC MRSL-listed chemical substance or group of substances may
not be used to achieve a desired function or effect during production of the raw material or product
(that is, no intentional use). This usage ban extends to other uses within a facility like cleaning and
maintenance. Due to the existence of manufacturing impurities in chemical formulations, a minor or
trace amount of the restricted substance is permitted. Chemical formulations containing restricted
substances that exceed limits are not compliant with the ZDHC MRSL.

5 ZDHC MRSL Instructions

5.1 ZDHC MRSL Chapters

Chapter 1: ZDHC MRSL for Textiles and Coated Fabrics Processing

This section applies to chemical formulations and substances used during the creation and wet
processing of textile fibers, and during the creation and processing of coated fabrics.

Chapter 2: ZDHC MRSL for Natural Leather Processing

This section applies to chemical formulations and substances used throughout the production of
natural leather, from rawhide to finished leather.

5.2 ZDHC MRSL Groups

Group A: Raw Material and Finished Product Supplier Guidance

Group A substances are banned from intentional use in facilities that process raw materials and
manufacture finished products. Please refer to the AFIRM guidance document for the lowest agreed
upon material or finished product limits among AFIRM brands: http://www.afirm-group.com/rsl-
guidance/. See brand RSLs for individual requirements.

Group B: Chemical Supplier Formulation Limit

Group B substances are restricted to concentration limits in chemical formulations commercially
available from chemical suppliers. These limits ban intentional use while allowing for reasonable
expected manufacturing impurities that should be consistently achievable by responsible chemical
manufacturers. [3]

[1] “A chemical element and its compounds in the natural state or obtained by any manufacturing process,
including any additive necessary to preserve its stability and any impurity deriving from the process used, but
excluding any solvent which may be separated without affecting the stability of the substance or changing its
composition.” http://www.reachonline.eu/REACH/EN/REACH_EN/article3.html. Accessed May 8, 2014.
[2] These are alkylphenol ethoxylates/alkylphenols (APEOs/APEs), brominated and chlorinated flame retardants,
chlorinated solvents, chlorobenzenes, chlorophenols, heavy metals, organotin compounds (e.g., TBT),
perfluorinated and polyfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), phthalates (ortho-phthalates), short-chain chlorinated
paraffins (SCCPs) and azo dyes that may release carcinogenic amines as defined in Annex XVII of REACH.
[3] Safety Data Sheets (SDS) only list substances present at concentrations of 1000 ppm or greater. Suppliers
must communicate with chemical suppliers to ensure MRSL limits are met.
[4] Note: Threshold Limit values on restricted substances in chemical formulations are in some cases substantially
higher than limits on restricted substances in finished products. This is because restricted substances in finished
products are almost always found in smaller concentrations than in the chemical formulations used to produce
them. Chemical formulations are highly concentrated before being diluted upon application to textiles and other
materials.

Perfluorinated and Polyfluorinated Chemicals (PFCs)

Durable water, oil and stain repellent finishes and soil release finishes (fluorinated polymers) based on long-chain
technology are banned from intentional use. Long-chain compounds according to the Organisation for Economic Co-
operation and Development (OECD) definition (http://www.oecd.org/ehs/pfc/) are based on long-chain
perfluorocarboxylic acids (C8 and higher) and on long-chain perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (C6 and higher).
The main contaminants of this technology include:
Perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFSAs) with carbon chain lengths C6 and higher (e.g., PFOS, perfluorooctane sulfonate)
Perfluorocarboxylic acids with carbon chain lengths C8 and higher (e.g., PFOA, perfluorooctanoic acid)
