Introduction
All products supplied to BESTSELLER must meet legal requirements in all markets that BESTSELLER brands deliver to.

BESTSELLER’s Restricted Substances List (RSL) describes the limitation and prohibition of substances in products manufactured for
BESTSELLER. The RSL has been developed based on the law, a concern for the health of our customers, the working conditions inside the
factories producing our goods, and the preservation of the environment – both in production countries, and where our products are sold.

The listed values and additional notes in this document are applicable to all suppliers manufacturing or providing products for BESTSELLER.

The RSL applies to and covers all garments, shoes, accessories, and all parts of products e.g. zippers, buttons, rivets and labels (list is indicative
not all-inclusive). Suppliers must also ensure that all samples meet the requirements set in the RSL.

Suppliers must comply with all legislation, product requirements and manufacturing requirements in all countries where they are producing.
All labour, workplace, and environmental laws in the country of production must be followed. Suppliers must also be aware that additional
requirements for specific product groups might exist, e.g. for shoes (SOP for Shoe Production).

It is the responsibility of the supplier to ensure that products they supply to BESTSELLER meet these requirements, which must be fully
communicated to and controlled by all subcontractors and suppliers of raw materials and components throughout the supply chain.

Suppliers should note that the RSL will be updated when necessary. Messages and updates regarding the RSL will be placed on the Supplier
Portal.

Nano material Total ban particles, in an unbound state or as an aggregate or as an
agglomerate and where, for 50 % or more of the particles in the
number size distribution, one or more external dimensions is in the

Manual can be used.

For earrings, ear stickers or any other jewellery with a pin penetrating the skin, the pin must be of pure Titanium, Sterling silver (925 Silver) or stainless steel
(316 L). Any deviation from this requires specific approval from the Chemical Responsible from Responsible Sourcing.

Transportation of goods – Packaging, Containers and cargo
Fumigating, gassing or spraying cargo or containers containing BESTSELLER products with any chemicals is banned. Levels of chemicals are
measured when the container reaches the port of destination. Levels must not exceed acceptable health and safety levels and the local legislation.
The below restriction limits are valid in the container air per destination:
1. Denmark
a. Formaldehyde: 0.3 ppm
b. Total VOC: 10 ppm
2. The Netherlands
a. https://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0011440
Regardless of the source, all costs in connection with cleaning containers, damage or loss of products and any resulting lost profit will be claimed.
All product packaging and packaging additions used for storage, labelling and transportation of BESTSELLER articles must meet legal
requirements for all countries of shipment. BESTSELLER has implemented a Packaging RSL which is available on the Supplier Portal. Please
refer to BESTSELLER Supplier Manual for details on packaging standards and expectations.

Chemical Control
In order to comply with BESTSELLER’s Restricted Substances List (RSL), it is important that suppliers have full control and are aware of all
chemicals that are being used throughout the entire production network.

Suppliers must ensure that all subcontractors, suppliers of materials and accessories (including labels and packaging), dye-houses, print-houses,
tanneries, carriers, etc., are fully aware of the RSL and agree to follow. Suppliers must ensure that all parts of their production network have the
latest version of our RSL and that they assist in educating all parts of the supply chain in meeting these requirements – and only work with
suppliers that are able to do so. Suppliers should work to understand the chemical aspects of the supply chain to effectively identify and control
the risk areas.
Suppliers should select professional and well-run suppliers of materials and dyeing /printing facilities, and ensure the use of dyestuffs, printing
chemicals and any other production-process chemicals are from reputable and well-known manufacturers.
Suppliers must assume responsibility in ensuring that the production network is constantly informed of BESTSELLER’s requirements – and
that the materials coming into the factory are able to meet the standard set in the RSL. Material data sheets should be acquired from dye-
houses and print-houses to ensure that no banned or restricted chemicals are used.

Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL)
BESTSELLER have adopted the industry-aligned MRSL from ZDHC group as part of our commitment to safer chemistry use during
manufacturing (https://mrsl.roadmaptozero.com). All suppliers must ensure compliance to the most updated MRSL from ZDHC.

RSL Testing Programme

BESTSELLER requires chemical tests on products and has a comprehensive RSL testing programme in place. You can find further
information on these testing requirements in the RSL Testing Programme document which is available on the supplier portal and from your
regional sourcing office.
Testing and monitoring are managed through the local sourcing offices. All suppliers must meet agreed testing requirements - this is non-
negotiable when producing articles for BESTSELLER.

Definition of ages
Age Range Cl Size (for reference)

Babies 0 to 36 months ≤98

Children 36 months to 14 years 104 - 164

Adults 14 years and older >164

Definition of “intended for mouth contact”

A part of a children’s product might be specifically intended for mouth contact like soothers, toys etc.

However, at BESTSELLER we also include the following parts in this definition:

Parts in children’s apparel (≤12 years of age), where the children by reasonable use can have mouth contact. This includes parts like cord tipping and
zipper puller, both only from the neck area.
