Global Automotive Declarable Substance List (GADSL)
1. GADSL Objectives
Major objectives of automotive product development include continuous improvements
in quality, safety, and the reduction of environmental impact throughout vehicle life
cycle. As much as possible, these objectives should be achieved in an efficient, cost
effective way to optimize consumer value. A large number of construction, operational
and processing materials are used in the automotive manufacturing chain, and their
selection and proper use can have significant impact on these objectives.
To meet these objectives, an ongoing dialogue and information flow within the global
automotive supply chain, including automobile manufacturers, tier suppliers and
material suppliers has been established, called the Global Automotive Stakeholder
Group (GASG). Early information and dialogue up and down the supply chain will help
facilitate compliance with current and future regulations, as well as take into account
customer requirements to ensure sustainable products. Optimized handling of relevant
information flow can help automobile manufacturers meet existing and projected
reporting requirements in a consistent, understandable and efficient way.
The GASG organization consists of three regions, Americas, Europe/Africa/Middle East,
and Asia/Pacific. Regional membership and participation is open to all stakeholders in
the automotive supply chain. Each of the three regions nominates six members to sit on
the governing body of the GASG, called the Steering Committee (SC). The SC meets
annually or more at its prerogative to decide on the GADSL and to provide a transparent
and open process for decision making.
The product of the GASG dialogue is the Global Automotive Declarable Substance List
(GADSL). The GADSL covers declaration of certain information about substances
relevant to parts and materials supplied by the supply chain to automobile
manufacturers. The information is applicable to the use of these parts or materials in the
production of a vehicle up to its usage and relevant to the vehicles re-use or waste
disposal.

The intent of GADSL is to become the company specific list for declaration of parts
composition within the automotive industry. It provides a definitive list of substances
requiring declaration with the target to minimize individual requirements and ensure
cost-effective management of declaration practice along the complex supply chain. The
scope is to cover declarable substances in the flow of information relevant to parts and
materials supplied throughout the automotive value chain, from production to the end of
life phase. The GADSL only covers substances that are expected to be present in
a material or part that remains in the vehicle or part at point of sale.
This approach is a voluntary industry initiative designed to ensure integrated,
responsible and sustainable product development by automobile manufacturers and
their supply chain. Its purpose is to minimize individual requirements and ensure cost-
effective management of declaration practice along the large and complex global supply
chain.
2. Application of the GADSL
The use of certain substances in vehicle parts may be a risk factor to human health and
the environment. Information exchange along the vehicle supply chain helps manage
those potential risks while also meeting customer requirements. The GADSL is used to
enhance further dialogue and cooperation along the supply chain on the benefits and
potential risks of certain substances or groups of substances in a specified use within
vehicle parts/materials. Declaration of a substance does not mean, however, that the
substance is prohibited from being used in vehicle parts or is to be de-selected from
use. Any declaration process using the GADSL must respect the framework formulated
in this preface.
Definitions
Substances Chemical elements or chemical compounds as parts of materials or
preparations
Preparations Mixtures, composed of two or more substances
Materials Chemical elements, chemical compounds or preparations thereof in
finished state used to manufacture products/articles
Products/articles Materials, which have been transformed during production to take a
specific shape, surface or form, which has a greater influence on
their function than their chemical composition does.
Parts Single components made up of one or more homogenous
material(s)
2014 GADSL Version 1.1 Page 3 of 42
Criteria for Declarable Substances
The decision to list a substance on the GADSL is based on the following criteria:
The substance should be expected to be present in a material or part in the vehicle.
Either of the following conditions should apply:
The substance is regulated
1
, or is projected to be regulated by a governmental
agency or authority, or
It is demonstrated, by testing under OECD (Organization for Economic
Cooperation & Development) guidelines for testing chemicals, conducted under
Good Laboratory Practice (according to the OECD Principles on Good
Laboratory Practice as revised in 1997), that the substance may be associated
with a significant hazard to human health and/or the environment, and its
presence in a material or part in a vehicle may create a significant risk to human
health and/or the environment. Other scientifically valid methodology, based on
the weight of evidence, may also be considered.
A substance that causes a functional problem in vehicle design may be included if its
presence in a vehicle part exceeds a level shown to be problematic by an
international industry standard test
2
.
Reportable threshold levels will be based on the lowest level required by regulation
or reasonably required by scientific evaluation.
Declarable Substance Classification
A reportable substance when present in a material or part in a vehicle will be shown on
the GADSL with a classification of P or D, defined as follows:
Depending on its specific application, the same substance could be classified P in one
end use, and D in another end use. When this is the case, both classifications for the
substance will be shown on the GADSL with examples under the application column.
Declaration thresholds are defined by specific application of the substance in
automotive parts. Any reportable substance below the declaration level does not have
to be reported. These levels, unless otherwise indicated, are 0.1 g/100g (weight %) of
non-separable, homogeneous materials, not on the total content in the component or
assembly.
P = Prohibited
A substance designated P is either prohibited by regulation for use in certain
applications or may not exceed regulated threshold limits.
1
Due to potential effects on human health or the environment related to the Automotive industry
2
Examples would be emissions, like odor testing or fogging. Currently there are numerous tests.
Development of a quantitative industry standard test would reduce resource requirement and uncertainty
for the supply chain.
2014 GADSL Version 1.1 Page 4 of 42
D = Declarable
A substance designated D must be declared if it exceeds the defined threshold limits.
Reason Codes
Reason codes have been developed to explain why a substance has been included in
the GADSL. Each declarable substance will be listed with one of the following reason
codes to facilitate dialog within the supply chain:
LR = Legally Regulated
A substance legally regulated because its use in a vehicle part or material poses a
significant risk to health and or the environment.
FA = For Assessment
A substance projected to be regulated by government agencies, upon decision by the
GASG Steering Committee.
FI = For Information
A substance tracked for information purposes only, upon decision by the GASG
Steering Committee. After discussion at the GASG Steering Committee and on an
exceptional basis, an automobile manufacturer may include an individual substance or
family of substances on the list under this (FI) reason code.
LR, FA and FI substances should not be construed to mean that the substance is
prohibited from being used in a vehicle part, or is to be de-selected from use.
Substance families: If all members of a substance family are D or P the entry all
members is listed after the family name. The entry substance name, selected means:
This substance family refers to a limited list of single substances, which meet the criteria
for being declarable or prohibited.
In certain cases substance families have the classification "D, except". This means that
all substances within that family are declarable except those that are listed directly
below labeled with "P" (e.g. Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers).
CAS numbers for individual substances of a chemical family or group on the GADSL are
listed in the Reference List which is part of GADSL. This list is available on the GADSL
website. A 2006 priority of the GASG will be to review individual substances identified
by CAS numbers on the reference list against GADSL criteria. The sole purpose of this
reference list is to facilitate communication and declaration relating to the GADSL within
the automotive supply chain to the automobile manufacturers.
2014 GADSL Version 1.1 Page 5 of 42
3. GADSL Validity
The valid GADSL will be the current English version on http://www.gadsl.org. The
content of the GADSL and its application does not relieve parties in the supply chain
from obligation to comply with all existing relevant regional and national regulations in
their business to business dealings.
4. Change Management Process
The GADSL will be updated and published annually in February according to improved
knowledge in order to achieve a high standard of product safety and environment
protection. At the latest 12 months after the publication date, any declaration should be
performed according to this updated version.
Requested changes to the GADSL must be received by July 15 each year in order to be
considered for the next version. For this input, comments and questions please contact
one of the persons listed on the GADSL website.
5. Listed substances
The table on the following pages shows the substances that are covered by the GADSL.
Any substance name that has "all members" after the name is to be considered as a
group name covering several individual substances. Every attempt has been made to
include a complete list of the members of the family. For a listing of those potentially
individual relevant substances, please refer to the "Reference List" that can be found on
the GADSL website.
Any substance where the substance name is followed by the word selected means
that the list in the reference list will not be a complete listing but will show only those
members that are to be reported, whether they are classified as P or D.
6. Use of GADSL
GADSL was created by GASG. GADSL is intended to be a public document, freely
available to third parties. GADSL may be duplicated or reproduced without the express
permission of GASG. Companies and trade associations along the automotive value
chain are free to communicate GADSL and any updates thereto. GASG and its
members assume no liability whatsoever for GADSL, its content or any reliance on
GADSL. Please note that this document is constantly evolving and is updated every
year in February.

In Canada PFOAs have
been declared CEPA
Toxic and the
government has
proposed a ban on the
use, manufacture,
release, and import of
PFOAs. A regulation is
expected in
2014/2015. In January
2006, the EPA created a
Voluntary Stewardship
Program to reduce
facility emissions and
product content of
PFOA, its higher
homologues, and related
chemicals including
precursors on a global
basis by 95 percent no
later than year-end
2010, and to work
toward eliminating
emissions and product
content of these
materials by 2015.
Norway has recently
issued a regulation for
PFOA in consumer
products and several US
states (New Jersey,
Minnesota) have issued
drinking water guidelines
for PFOA. USEPA has
also established drinking
water limits in the
Parkersburg, WVA
vicinity. The EU has
issued a directive on
PFOS and has PFOA
under review.
Fluoropolymers are
used to make
automotive
components,
including fuel hoses,
gaskets, wire
insulations, bearings.
PFOA is used as a
polymerization aid
and it is not expected
to be present at
greater than trace
