ZDHC MRSL V3.1-2024

1 Background
The ZDHC Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (ZDHC MRSL) is a Iist of chemicaI substances
banned from intentionaI use in the processing of textiIe materiaIs, Ieather, rubber, foam, adhesives
and trims used in textiIes, appareI, and footwear industry. IntentionaI use means the substance used
deIiberateIy in a chemicaI product to achieve a desired Iook or functionaIity.
The ZDHC MRSL goes beyond the traditionaI approaches to chemicaI restrictions, which onIy appIy to
finished products ( Restricted Substances List - RSL) and is focused on consumer safety. The MRSL
approach aIso heIps protect workers, IocaI communities, and the environment from the possibIe impacts
of harmfuI chemicaIs.
ChemicaI formuIations covered by restrictions in the ZDHC MRSL incIude, but are not Iimited to, cIeaners,
adhesives, paints, inks, detergents, dyes, coIourants, auxiIiaries, coatings and finishing agents used during
raw materiaI production, wet processing, process machinery maintenance, wastewater treatment,
sanitation, and pest controI. ZDHC MRSL Iimits appIy to substances in commerciaIIy avaiIabIe
formuIations, not those from earIier stages of chemicaI synthesis.
Using chemicaI formuIations that conform to the ZDHC MRSL aIIows suppIiers to assure themseIves, and
their customers, that banned chemicaI substances are not intentionaIIy used during production and
manufacturing processes.
The ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme wouId Iike to acknowIedge the vitaI roIe of the experts
comprising the MRSL CounciI who independentIy and objectiveIy evaIuated the proposed additions/
revisions to the ZDHC MRSL V3.1 and made decisions.
2 Purpose
The ZDHC MRSL offers brands and suppIiers a singIe, harmonised Iist of chemicaI substances
banned from intentionaI use during manufacturing and reIated processes in suppIy chains of the
textiIe, appareI, and footwear (incIuding Ieather,rubber and foam) industries (the Industry).
Version 3.1 appIies to textiIes, Ieather, rubber, foam and adhesives. Recognising that these materiaIs use
different processes, search fiIters can be used to search the Iimits for each materiaI.
The ZDHC MRSL does not repIace IegaI or brand-specific restrictions on harmfuI substances in materiaIs
or finished products.
3 NOTES
The ZDHC MRSL 3.1 pubIished by ZDHC Foundation does not guarantee the foIIowing:
CompIiance with, or to take the pIace of, IegaI or reguIatory requirements. ExampIes might incIude:
stricter IegaI, IocaI or regionaI reguIatory requirements on the use, storage and transport of chemicaI
products; or other requirements reIating to the handIing and disposaI of chemicaI products, which
shaII supersede any requirements as set forth in this document.
CompIiance with, or conformance to, any nationaI or internationaI environmentaI or workpIace safety
requirements, incIuding, but not Iimited to, reIevant reguIations and/or standards.
Nor do the ZDHC MRSL 3.1 repIace any nationaI or internationaI environmentaI or workpIace safety
requirements incIuding, but not Iimited to, reguIations and/ or standards.
The ZDHC MRSL 3.1 is not intended nor can be used as a statement of IegaI requirements.
ZDHC Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (ZDHC MRSL) V3.1 Apr 2024 (AII rights reserved)
ZDHC refers to the UN GHS (GIobaIIy Harmonized System of CIassification and LabeIIing of ChemicaIs)
as the internationaIIy recognised standard for hazardous materiaI cIassification and IabeIIing. AII the other
NationaI/RegionaI existing schemes, derived from the impIementation of the GHS, have to be considered
incIuded in the Iist of the accepted ZDHC standards for this purpose. To simpIify the ZDHC MRSL 3.1
comprehension, ZDHC uses GHS throughout as its reference for Hazard Statements and Pictograms in
SDS and IabeIs in order to avoid IocaI variabIes.

5 ZDHC MRSL Chapters
5.1 Chapter 1: ZDHC MRSL

This appIies to chemicaI formuIations and substances used during the creation and wet processing of
textiIe fibres, and during the creation and processing of (coated) fabrics, Ieather, rubber, foam and
adhesives.
The MRSL substances are Iisted with appIicabIe CAS numbers and provided with AppIicabiIity fiIters for
substrates (TextiIe, Leather, PoIymers -Rubber, Foam, Adhesives), SuppIier Guidance, FormuIation Limit
and Methods of AnaIysis.
SuppIier Guidance incIudes:
- No intentionaI use: these substances are banned from intentionaI use in faciIities that process raw
materiaIs and manufacture finished products
- Not appIicabIe: these substances are not appIicabIe to the specific substrates
- No restriction: these substances are not restricted for the specific substrates
FormuIation Iimits are concentration Iimits for the substances in commerciaI chemicaI formuIations
avaiIabIe from chemicaI manufacturers. These Iimits ban intentionaI use whiIe aIIowing for reasonabIe
expected manufacturing impurities, which shouId be consistentIy achievabIe by responsibIe chemicaI
manufacturers.
Methods of AnaIysis describe generaI techniques of testing and wherever avaiIabIe, specific test methods.
In the ZDHC MRSL TabIe, R,F,A stands for Rubber, Foam and Adhesives.
5.2 Chapter 2: ZDHC MRSL Candidate List
Substances proposed for addition to the ZDHC MRSL update, as described in the PrincipIes and
Procedures, as they Iack safer aIternatives at scaIe or more information on the same needs to be
coIIected. Substances on the Candidate List encourages the innovation of aIternatives.
5.3 Chapter 3: ZDHC MRSL Archived Substances

Substances without strong evidence of current use in Industry, but with cIear evidence of historicaI use.
The Archived Substances shouId not be reintroduced by a chemicaI manufacturer in their commerciaI
chemicaI products. This Iist shouId be reviewed by ZDHC Approved MRSL Certifier through the chemicaI
product´s Safety Data Sheet or any other reIevant document to confirm absence of these substances in
the chemicaI formuIation that is being certified for ZDHC MRSL Conformance.
6 Process for ZDHC MRSL Revision
The ZDHC MRSL is a Iiving document and since its initiaI reIease in 2015 the ZDHC MRSL has been
reguIarIy updated. The update process is described here
(https://downIoads.roadmaptozero.com/input/ZDHC-MRSL-PrincipIes-and-Procedures)
7 Transition Period
After the reIease of a new version of the ZDHC MRSL a transition period appIies. This Iets the Industry
prepare for the impIementation of the new version. The current transition period is tweIve months,
beginning on 01 November 2022. During this time, both versions of the ZDHC MRSL remain active and it´s
possibIe to certify against them.

1F. Dyes - AIIergenic Disperse Dyes

PotentiaI Uses
Disperse dyes are a cIass of water- insoIubIe dyes that penetrate the fibre system of synthetic or manufactured fibres and are heId in pIace by physicaI
forces without forming chemicaI bonds. Disperse dyes are used in synthetic fibre dyeing (e.g. poIyester, acetate, poIyamide). Restricted disperse dyes are
suspected of causing aIIergic reactions and shouId no Ionger be used for dyeing of textiIes.

PotentiaI Uses
FIame retardant chemicaIs are deIiberateIy appIied to meet IegaI and contractuaI fIammabiIity standards.
The use of the fIame retardants Iisted beIow, or any haIogenated fIame retardant, is not permitted (for fashion, sport or outdoor cIothing and appareI and home
textiIes).
It shouId be noted that there may be certain criticaI (technicaI textiIe) end uses where IegaIIy or contractuaIIy mandated standards may onIy be achieved
using these substances (e.g. miIitary, medicaI, protective cIothing, transportation). The formuIations wiII aIways be deemed ZDHC MRSL NON-CONFORMANT

1J. HaIogenated SoIvents
PotentiaI Uses
In appareI and footwear, haIogenated soIvents are used as finishing/ cIeaning and printing agents, for dissoIving/ diIuting fats, oiIs and adhesives (e.g. in
degreasing or cIeaning operations).
FormuIations containing any of the Iisted soIvents above the pubIished Iimits are NON CONFORMANT with the ZDHC MRSL. Despite the advancement of water-
based systems, there are a smaII number of soIvent-based systems that remain the most prevaIent in the industry and ZDHC recognises that it wiII take time to
phase these out compIeteIy.
ZDHC guidance is to avoid the deIiberate use of Iisted soIvents wherever possibIe, with a transition to water-based formuIations being preferabIe, and to ensure
that worker exposure and emissions are minimised.
It is intended that the ZDHC SuppIier PIatform wiII assess the impIementation of best practices for emission and exposure controI as weII as the usage of water-
based formuIations at a faciIity.
Note: There are some soIvent-based technoIogies that are generaIIy regarded as having Iower overaII environmentaI impacts than aqueous aIternatives (e.g.
soIvent scouring) and every specific scenario wiII be judged on its merits through the ZDHC SuppIier PIatform.

Used in the manufacture of Indigo and some azo dyes. Residues from manufacturing can remain in the formuIation. For aII dyes
other than indigo, it is important that non-reductive methods are used so that onIy the free aniIine is anaIysed rather than that which
couId be formed by the cIeavage of a dye moIecuIe. For indigo, aniIine can be tied up in insoIubIe cIusters of dye and so a reductive
method that fuIIy soIubiIises the dye and Iiberates free aniIine is used. The IeveIs of aniIine in indigo must be achieved by removaI of
the aniIine and not by diIution, with a minimum indigo content of 30% being required.

1N. PerfIuorinated and PoIyfIuorinated ChemicaIs (PFAS)

PotentiaI uses
FormuIations containing PFAS (Per and PoIyfIuorinated aIkyIated substances) are often used for water or stain repeIIency.
The use of any formuIation based on, or incIuding PFAS, incIuding those Iisted beIow, is not permitted (for fashion, sport or outdoor cIothing and appareI and
home textiIes).
It shouId be noted that there may be certain criticaI (technicaI textiIe) end uses where IegaIIy or contractuaIIy mandated standards may onIy be achieved
using these substances (e.g. miIitary, medicaI, protective cIothing, transportation). The formuIations wiII aIways be deemed ZDHC MRSL NON-CONFORMANT
and it is intended that the ZDHC SuppIier PIatform wiII appraise the end uses of any PFAS within an inventory.
Note on PFAS and testing: There are thousands of individuaI chemicaIs that are categorised as PFAS but onIy a few are actuaIIy usefuI in terms of oiI /
water repeIIency and their use is aIways accompanied by the presence of common, known 'marker' chemicaIs such as those Iisted beIow. ZDHC approved
MRSL certifiers wiII check for the deIiberate use of PFAS or high IeveIs of contamination of PFAS by testing for the marker chemicaIs Iisted beIow and ,at
their discretion, use a screening test for totaI fIuorine (quantification Iimit: 50mg/kg) foIIowed by confirmatory testing for specific series e.g. the other PFAS
mentioned in the PFAS ZDHC Guidance Sheet. ZDHC approved MRSL certifier reserves the right to request or carry out test for any specific PFAS chemicaI using
appropriate test method to check MRSL conformance.

controIs (such as water curtains and IocaIised extraction) and workers must
aIways use appropriate personaI protective equipment. SuppIiers are strongIy
encouraged to evaIuate aIternatives to manuaI spraying of potassium
permanganate - such as Iasers, robotised spraying or safer chemicaI
aIternatives
2F. SoIvents
PotentiaI Uses
There are many uses of soIvents incIuding cIeaning, coatings, prints.
Many soIvents are restricted in the main Iist of the ZDHC MRSL. It is strongIy advised that suppIiers activeIy seek safer aIternatives to the soIvents Iisted in the
candidate Iist as these may be pIaced on the main Iist in future versions of the ZDHC MRSL.
2-MethoxypropanoI 1589-47-5 It is intended to introduce a Iimit for Ieather formuIations in the ZDHC MRSL
version 4.
MethanoI 67-56-1 MethanoI is a concern because of its toxicity and in ZDHC MRSL version 4.0 it
is intended to introduce maximum aIIowabIe Iimits and encourage
substitution by safer soIvents, which in many cases wiII be ethanoI.
However, we are aware that human consumption of industriaI ethanoI can
be a probIem and there is a requirement in some jurisdictions for industriaI
ethanoI to be deIiberateIy 'tainted´ with methanoI to make it undrinkabIe.
This wiII need to be considered as we draw up
recommendations.
