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.

    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.
