AAFA updates restricted substances list
The American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) has published the 12th edition of its restricted substances list (RSL), covering apparel, footwear and home textiles and featuring a number of additions.
The list covers chemicals and other substances whose presence in a product is restricted through a government regulation or law. The list identifies the most restrictive iteration of that regulation worldwide. Every six months, the publication is reviewed, updated, and the latest version is made available for free on the AAFA website.
