Further updates to AAFA’s restricted substances list

10/12/2014
The American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) has published the 15th edition of its Restricted Substances List (RSL), covering apparel, footwear, travel goods and accessories and available for free via its website.

The updated RSL was released in conjunction with AAFA's International Product Safety, Worker Safety, and Supply Chain Compliance Conference in Dhaka, Bangladesh, which was held on December 9.

"In our effort to keep our global industry competitive and compliant in the marketplace, the AAFA RSL provides clear and concise information on the newest developments in global product safety standards,” said AAFA environmental committee chairman John Eapen. He is also vice president of sustainability at thread manufacturer America & Efird.

The AAFA’s app turns the RSL into an interactive tool designed to help users navigate the 200 chemicals listed.

“This list allows our members to create safe products and be in compliance all over the world,” added AAFA CEO Juanita Duggan.
