MRSL VERSION 1.0 - OCTOBER 2014

INTRODUCTION
This Manufacturing Restricted Substance List (MRSL) willassist in the control of hazardous substances used to process
textile and trim materials. Natural leather and metal trim parts
are excluded from the scope of this MRSL.
The document addresses hazardous substances potentiallyused and discharged into the environment during manufacturing
and related processes, not just those which could be present infinished products. G-Star Raw C.V, anticipates that suppliers will
work closely with their chemical and material suppliers to ensure
substances mentioned in this MRSL are not present above thelimits given in any of the chemical commercial products that arepurchased from chemical suppliers. This MRSL is an importantpart of G-Star's Corporate Responsibility program and shall beshared with all suppliers, sub-contractors and others involved in
the production of G-Star products. The following production are
targeted by this document: Mill, Printing, CMT, Finishing and Trim
suppliers (excl. metal trims).
Purpose of the list
G-Star cares about consumers and the environment.
Our suppliers are critical partners in our commitments in thearea of consumer safety and environmental protection.
The MRSL contains a list of chemical substances by CAS# thatare subject to a usage ban. The MRSL applies to chemicals
used in the manufacturing of materials, components and finishedproducts, which include solvents, cleaners, adhesives, paints,
inks, detergents, dyes, colorants, auxiliaries, finishing agentsused for wet processing, maintenance, waste water treatment,
sanitation and pest control. There should be no intentional useof the MRSL listed substances in facilities.
Note: The MRSL does not replace applicable national
environmental or workplace safety restrictions. Worker exposure
to the listed and other hazardous substances must not exceed

occupational exposure limits and chemical formulations mustcomply with all applicable legal restriction, including any
subsequent restrictions that establish stricter limits. The MRSL
does not replace legal restrictions on hazardous substances infinished products (RSL requirements).				
			
Definitions
Chemical Substancemeans a chemical element and its compounds in the natural stateor obtained by any manufacturing process, including any additivenecessary to preserve its stability and any impurity derivingfrom the process used, but excluding any solvent which may
be separated without affecting the stability of the substance orchanging its composition.
Commerical Chemical Productis a proprietary blend of several chemical substances or areaction product used to create a 'trade name' or 'functional'
product that is available for purchase from a chemical supplier.
Note this document will not list commercial chemical products.
CAS
Chemical Abstract Service index number
is a link to a wealth of information about a specific chemical
substance, is a unique numeric identifier, designates only one
substance, has no chemical significance. It includes up to 9 digits
which are separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of
the number, starting from the left, has up to 6 digits; the second
part has 2 digits and the final part consists of a single check digit.
Usage Banmeans a chemical product used for the manufacturing ofarticles (e.g.) must not intentionally contain these substancesor substance groups.

2

MRSL Creation Process
The MRSL includes relevant substances from the original
11 priority chemical groups along with additional substances
discussed with qualified experts from the Zero Discharge ofHazardous Chemicals Technical Advisory Committee (ZDHC
TAC). Several of the listed substances are regulated in finishedproducts and have been successfully restricted for years.
MRSL Instructions
Raw Material and Finished Product Supplier Guidance
Substances are banned from intentional use in facilities
that process raw materials and manufacture finished products.
Please refer to G-Star's Restricted Substance List (RSL)
for individual requirements.
Chemical Supplier Formulation Limit
Substances are restricted to concentration limits in chemical
formulations commercially available from chemical suppliers.
These limits ban intentional use while allowing for reasonable
expected manufacturing impurities that should be consistently
achievable by responsible chemical manufacturers.

Organotins are a class of chemicals combining
tin and organics such as butyl and phenylgroups. Organotins are predominantly foundin the environment as antifoulants in marine
paints, but they can also be used as biocides(e.g., antibacterials), catalysts in plastic
and glue productions, and heat stabilizers
in plastics/rubber. In textiles and apparel,organotins may be associated with textiles
plastics/rubber, inks, paints, metallic glitter,and heat transfer material.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) arenatural components of crude oil and they are acommon residue from oil refining. PAHs havea characteristic smell similar to the smell of car
tires or asphalt. Oil residues containing PAHs
are added in rubber and plastics as a softeneror extender. Therefore, PAHs are risky inrubber, plastics, lacquers and coatings. PAHs
are often found in the outsoles of footwear andin printing pastes of screen prints. PAHs can bepresent as impurities in Carbon Black. Clean
mineral oils should be used in the rubber toavoid PAHs.

Disperse dyes are a class of water-insolubledyes that penetrate the fiber system of synthetic
or manufacted fibers and are held in place byphyiscal forces without performing chemicalbonds. Disperse Dyes are used in synthetic
fiber (e.g. polyester, acetate, polyamide).
Restricted disperse dyes are suspected of
causing allergic reactions and should no longer
