H&M Chemical Restrictions Apparel |Accessories | Footwear | Home Interior Textile Products
Valid for all brands in H&M group
General
H&M has with concern for the health of customers as well as for the environment and working conditions, established H&M Chemical Restrictions for all
products. H&M Chemical Restrictions consist of several parts with regard to product types; this document concerns Chemical Restrictions for Apparel,
Accessories, Footwear and Home Interior Textile Products. Each limit in H&M Chemical Restrictions is valid for homogeneous parts of the concerned product if
not otherwise stated. In addition to this part of the H&M Chemical Restrictions, production of Apparel, Accessories, Footwear and Home Interior Textile
Products must also fulfill H&M Chemical Restrictions regarding the Manufacturing Restricted Substance List (MRSL). These documents are to be found on the
Supplier Portal as well as on www.hm.com/chemical-restrictions.
The official and valid version of this document is in English. Any translation of the document is prepared for reference only. H&M accepts no liability for any
mistakes done in the translation.
Commitment
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 results will prevail.

Definitions
Concentration Limit The substance must not be present in the product at concentrations above this limit.
Not Detected The substance must not be present in the finished product at concentrations above the analytical reporting limit.
2
Usage ban The substance must not be used in production and it must not be added to the product .
Homogeneous Uniform composition throughout, i.e. a material that cannot be mechanically disjointed into different materials.
Kinematic Limit Describes how fast a fluid is spread on a flat surface in relation to its mass, i.e. weight.
Reporting limit Describes the level of detection times a safety factor selected by the laboratory that ensures repeatability and reproducibility.
Self-declaration All chemicals used should have Safety Data Sheets, SDS, showing that no restricted substance is included.
Upon request supplier must be able to present the SDS for the chemicals used in the production of the requested product.
Other supporting documents such as certificates from subcontractors etc. can also be considered as a part of the SD.
Soft Home Interior Products All soft interior/decoration products, like e.g. beddings, mats, carpets, towels, pillows, curtains, shower curtains, etc.
Substances defined as hazardous due to Persistent, bio accumulative and toxic (PBT), very persistent and very bio accumulative (vPvB), carcinogenic, mutagenic and
intrinsic properties. toxic for reproduction (CMR), endocrine disruptors (ED) or equivalent concern
