RESTRICTED SUBSTANCES LIST version 1.3

introduction
G-Star is committed to producing high quality and ethicallymanufactured products and intends to only do business with
suppliers that share our commitment to make a strong product ina socially and environmentally conscious way. We outlined theminimum Social and Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS)
standards under which our products should be manufactured in
the G-Star Supplier Code of Conduct. The Code of Conductrefers to the G-Star Restricted Substances List (RSL) as thebasis for monitoring the use of chemicals in G-Star products.

Purpose of the RSL
Our suppliers are critical partners in meeting our commitments
regarding consumer safety, working conditions and environmental
protection. The purpose of the RSL for garment and fabricmanufacturing is to inform our suppliers on all chemicals that arebanned or restricted in G-Star finished products. Our suppliers
are expected to study this document carefully and communicate
the information to relevant internal teams, sub-contractors andothers involved in the production of G-Star products.

the supplier should display the safety and security sheets at thepremises where G-Star products are being manufactured and/ orstored, and should make them available to G-Star upon request.

The RSL applies to all products of G-Star Raw C.V. and/or its
subsidiaries (hereinafter ‘G-Star’), which includes ready-madegarments, accessories and packing materials. The RSL also
applies to all materials, parts, trims and other goods supplied foruse in producing G-Star products.

Each supplier is required to declare and ensure that the materials,
parts, trims, metal parts and other goods supplied orotherwise delivered for G-Star products comply with thelimitations described or referred to in the RSL and any additional
requirements imposed by law or local authorities. The supplier isalso responsible for seeking guidance from G-Star in situations ofdoubt about product compliance with the RSL for garment andfabric manufacturing.

The G-Star Restricted Substance List a mandatory condition foreach and every order placed by G-Star.
© 2014 G-Star RAW C.V.

Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC)
by 2020
Next to preventing the use of hazardous chemicals in our
products, G-Star is also committed to eliminating industrial
releases of hazardous chemicals into the environment. We
therefore set the target to reach zero discharge of hazardous
chemicals from all our products and production processes
by 2020.

Back

Compliance with this Restricted Substance List is a mandatory
condition for each and every order placed by G-Star.
G-Star Raw C.V. November 2014

In addition to strict compliance with the RSL, it is necessary thatthe supplier collects and keeps on file all safety data sheets
concerning the chemicals used in G-Star products at all times.
This concerns in particular, but is not restricted to, the processesof production and finishing. For transparency and safety reasons,

methodology
This Restricted Substances List (RSL) is intended to inform on
Worldwide Regulations restricting or banning the use of chemicals in
textile, footwear and apparel products including packaging materials
and accessories attached to garments.
In addition National Laws in a global context for example originatingfrom Canada, China, Egypt, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan,
Vietnam and the USA appear in the RSL. The RSL is divided
in two categories:
Legally Restricted SubstancesThis list mentions the strictest legal
requirements both inside and outside theEU but uses as a starting point European
Union Regulations, European Union
Directives and European Union Decisions.
In case National Laws and EU Rules are
similar in their meaning, only the EU Rules
are presented. It may well be that insome EU countries no legislation exists
whereas in other EU countries legal
requirements apply.

Restricted Substances under investigation
Some substances appearing under the redheading of Legally Restricted Substances
are marked orange because they may
belong to the red group but their action isstill under investigation with no specificlegal basis yet. They may also appear on
the list based on voluntary restriction by anumber of international retail companies
and of recommendations by NGO’s.
G-Star is a system partner of bluesign technologies ag. This is anindependent standard that guarantees that products are free of
hazardous chemicals. We are committed to implement theirbluesign® standard in our supply chain to come to a healthy, safe andenvironmentally friendly production process. By joining bluesign
technologies ag we encourage our suppliers in our entire textile
production chain, from raw materials to textile manufacturers, to also
become a system partner of bluesign technologies ag.

REACH ANNEX ECHA’S CANDIDATE LIST OF SUBSTANCES OF VERY HIGH CONCERN LAST UPDATE 16-06-2014
ECHA, the European Chemical Agency located in Helsinki,
Finland is the organization managing the REACH process.
REACH is the abbreviation for Registration, Evaluation,
Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals.
Substances, preparations and articles will be assessed on theirrisks for health and environmental aspects.
Any producer or importer of articles shall submit a notification to
the Agency for any substance contained in those articles, if thefollowing conditions are met:a) a substance of the candidate list is present in the imported/
produced articles with over 0.1% w/w.
b) this substance is present in all produced or imported articles
with an amount of over 1 ton a year per importer or producer.
Any producer or importer of articles shall immediately inform his
client. The end consumer has to be informed on request within 45
days, if the following conditions is met:
A substance of the Candidate list is present in the imported or
produced article above a concentration of 0.1% w/w.

Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern forauthorisation
The identification of a substance as Substance of Very High
Concern (SVHC) and its inclusion in the Candidate List is the firststep of the authorisation procedure.
Companies may have immediate legal obligations following suchinclusion which are linked to the listed substance on its own, in
preparations and articles.
Further documentation or more detailed information on theidentification process of Substances of Very High Concern can befound on the web pages of ECHA's Member State Committee.
Note: The EC number includes both anhydrous and hydrated
forms of a substance and consequently the entries cover boththese forms. The CAS number included may be for the anhydrous
form only, and therefore the CAS number shown does not always
describe the entry accurately.

RESTRICTED SUBSTANCES LIST version 1.3

EXPLANATION ON THE ACTION OF SUBSTANCES	ASBESTOS

is a naturally occurring group of fibrous silicate minerals. These thin, long, and flexible fibers can be used in textiles. Asbestos fibers are strong, durable and fire resistant. Asbestos fibres are carcinogenic. It
is unlikely that they are found in current textiles except for fire-fighting clothing.

CHLOROBENZES AND CHLOROTOLUENES

are used in batch dyeing of synthetic fibres, particularly polyester fibres, to promote the absorption and diffusion of disperse dyes into the fibre at relative low temperatures. Carriers are important for dyeing
blends of wool and polyester as wool cannot be dyed at higher temperatures than boiling. There is a risk that the carriers will remain on the textile material or partially evaporate during subsequent processes.
Most of these carriers are toxic to humans and aquatic organisms, and some are even carcinogenic.

CHLORINATED PARAFFINS

are polychlorinated alkanes and they are divided into three categories depending on the length of the carbon chain, short (C10-C13), medium (C14-C17), and long (C20-C30). Short chain chlorinated paraffins are used as flame retardants for plastics. They are also used as a plasticizer in rubber, paints, adhesives and fat liquoring agents in leather processing. Short Chain Chlorinated Paraffins are classified as
dangerous to the environment because they are very toxic to aquatic organisms, and may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

ALLERGENIC DISPERSE DYES

are generally water-insoluble colourants that are mainly used for dying polyester, nylon and cellulose acetate. Some disperse dyes have an allergenous (sensitizing) potential to the human skin and can beconsidered as a possible threat to health, especially if the dyes exhibit poor colour fastness to perspiration fastness.

AZO DYES

which by reductive cleavage may release one of more aromatic arylamines incorporate one or several azo groups (N=N) bound with aromatic compounds. Thousands of azo dyes exist, however, only thosewhich can degrade to form the listed amines are considered to be carcinogenic and are therefore restricted in textiles, leather, apparel and toys.

CARCINOGENIC DYES

From the listed dyestuffs it is proven that they are carcinogenic.

DYES WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS

It has been assessed that this blue colourant harms the environment as it has a high aquatic toxicity, is not easily degradable and reaches the environment via waste water.

BROMINATED AND CHLORINATED FLAME RETARDENTS

are chemical compounds that can be incorporated into textiles or applied by sprays to prevent burning. Brominated flame retardants are used in a wide range of products like automobiles, electronics andtextiles because of their stability and heat resistance. Some flame retardents are as toxic as PCB’s and DDT and are suspected to be carcinogenic. They persist once they enter the environment and foodchain, and are likely to pass up the food chain.

FORMALDEHYDE

is a volatile organic compound whose chemical properties make it suitable to be used for crosslinking, anti-creasing, anti-shrinking, water repellence finishing etc.to fabrics. It can be mixed with phenol andurea to form polymeric resins. In textiles and apparel, formaldehyde may be found in stiffened and permanent pressed fabric. Formaldehyde is a toxic chemical which can induce irritation to mucous membrane and is suspected to cause cancer.

HEAVY METALS (GENERAL)

are found in dyestuffs and used as dye-fixing agents. They also occur in natural fibres like cotton. Many heavy metals are bio accumulative when absorbed by the human body through perspiration and givecause for concern in health terms such as chronic toxicity, allergenic reactions and cancers.

ANTIMONY

is used in flame-proofing, paints, ceramics, enamels, a wide variety of alloys, electronics, and rubber. The flame-retardant applications can include children's clothing, toys, aircraft and automobile seat covers.

ARSENICis a notoriously poisonous metalloid. The toxicity of arsenic to insects, bacteria and fungi makes it an ideal component for the preservation of wood.

CADMIUM

is a naturally occurring metal. In textiles and apparels, cadmium is usually used as pigments, coatings, stabilizers in plastics, dyes, paints, inks and metal accessories. Cadmium is also a well known stabilizer
for the manufacturing of polymers like PVC. Cadmium and its derivatives are suspected to be carcinogenic.

NICKEL

Nickel is metal often combined with other metals to create alloys with increased hardness and resistance to corrosion. In textiles and apparel, nickel is mainly found in accessories for textiles and clothing,
paints, inks, trims, plastics, and metal components. Nickel can cause extreme allergies.

CHROMIUM VI

In textiles and apparels, Chromium VI is usually associated with chrome tanned leather. Chromium VI can cause skin irritation and is considered to be carcinogenic.

COBALTis a hard, lustrous, grey metal. Cobalt compounds have been used for centuries to impart a rich blue color to glass, glazes, and ceramics. After nickel and chromium, cobalt is a major cause of contact dermatitis. At higher levels of exposure cobalt shows mutagenic and carcinogenic effects

COPPERis a metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. Copper is an essential trace nutrient to all high plant and animal life. In animals, including humans it is found primarily in the bloodstream, as a cofactor in various enzymes and in copper-based pigments. However, in sufficient amounts, copper can be poisonous and even fatal to organisms.

LEAD

is a soft, metal, also considered to be one of the heavy metals. Lead is a poisonous metal that can damage nervous connections (especially in young children) and cause blood and brain disorders. In textiles
and apparel, lead can be found in plastics, paints, inks, pigments, and metal components.

MERCURY

also called quicksilver is a heavy metal. Mercury is liquid at or near room temperature and pressure. Mercury exposure at high levels can harm the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs and immune system.

ISOCYANATES

Isocyanates are widely used in the manufacture of flexible and rigid foams, fibres, coatings, elastomers and polyurethane products.Isocyanates create a strong and unpleasent odour.

ORGANOTIN COMPOUNDS

are a class of chemicals combining tin and organics such as butyl and phenyl groups. Organotin are predominantly found in the environment as antifoulants in marine paints, but they can also be used as
biocides (antibacterials), and/or heat stabilizers in plastics. In textiles and apparel, organotins may be used in plastics, inks, paints, and heat transfer material. It is also used to prevent unpleasant odours.

CHLOROPHENOLS

are polychlorinated compounds used as a preservative to wood, leather, and textiles. PCP and TeCP have been used as an antifungal in wood products, textiles, and leather.PCP and TeCP are irritatants tothe skin, eyes and mouth and can cause harmful effects to the liver, kidneys, blood and lungs and are probable human carcinogens.

PERFLUORINATED CHEMICALS

are organofluorine compounds and are often used as surfactants. Like other fluorocarbons it repels water. PFOS is the main ingredient in many stain repellent finishes. Also used as: binder in non-woven
fabrics to enhance dyeing; wetting agents to improve coverage and penetration of substances; achieve finish-on-yarn uniformity; water resistance; oil resistant coatings on textiles, leather, and other materials.
These chemicals are persistent, bioaccumulative and poisonous to mammals.

EXPLANATION ON THE ACTION OF SUBSTANCES	PESTICIDES

pesticides are substances or mixtures of substances used to kill a pest. A pesticide may be a chemical substance, biological agent (such as a virus or bacteria), antimicrobial, disinfectant or device usedagainst any pest. Although there are benefits to the use of pesticides, there are also drawbacks, such as potential toxicity to humans and animals. In textiles and apparel, these pesticides may be found innatural fibres, primarily cotton.

PHTHALATES

are a class of organic compounds added to plastics to increase flexibility. In textiles and apparel, phthalates can be associated with flexible plastic components, trims, screen and plastisol prints. Phthalates
are reprotoxic and can cause birth defects and changes in hormone levels.

DIMETHYL FUMARATE

is used by producers as a biocide to kill moulds that may cause furniture or shoe leather to deteriorate during storage and transportation in a humid climate. Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is a fungicide that manufacturers use for maritime transport and the storage of consumer goods. DMF can cause acute dermatitis, eczema, and general fatigue to the persons who have been in contact with this substance.

ALKYLPHENOLS (AP) AND ALKYPHENOL ETHOXYLATES(APEO)

NPEs/OPEs are included in the group of non-ionic surfactants called alkyl phenol ethoxylates (APEOs). NPEs and OPEs can degrade to NP and OP respectively. APEOs are used in detergents, scouring
agents, wetting agents, softeners, emulsifier/dispersing agents for dyes and prints and as impregnating agents In leather tanning, APEO is used in de-greasing, finishing etc. In silk production for de-gumming. APEO could also be present in dyes and pigment preparations. Polyester padding and down/feather fillings are risky for APEO. These chemicals are liable to be toxic , persistent and to bioaccumulate.

BIOCIDES

are biologically active substances, and their toxic and biocidal nature enables them to kill or harm living things. Since biocides by nature are used to have detrimental effects on biological organisms, they areat the same time a serious threat to living organisms that were not intended to be controlled. Biocides have adverse effects on the nervous system when entering into the human body. They may irritate eyes,
skin, and the respiratory system.

DI-METHYL FORMAMIDE

The primary use of dimethyl formamide is as a solvent with low evaporation rate. Dimethyl formamide is used in the production of acrylic and aramid fibers and plastics. DMF has been linked to cancer inhumans, and it is thought to cause birth defects. In some sectors of industry women are banned from working with DMF.

DIOXINS AND FURANS

Dioxins are a made up of 75 polychlorinated compounds called chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins. Each dioxin has a different level of toxicity based on its structure and tissue absorption qualities. Furans arealso polychlorinated compounds (135 different furans exist). Dioxins and furans are structurally and toxically similar. Dioxins/furans are common by-products of incomplete combustion (burning) of organics
in a chlorine rich environment and are often associated with the production of pesticides, PVC, and other similar chlorinated chemicals. It is unlikely that dioxin and furan legislation will apply to apparel andtextiles.

FLUORINATED GREENHOUSE GASES

Fluorocarbons are mainly used as substitutes for CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) and HCFCs (Hydro fluorocarbons), both of which are ozone depleting substances that the 1987 Montreal Protocol has progressively phased out of production. Fluorocarbons are mostly used as refrigerants in refrigerators and air-conditioners and as propellants in industrial aerosols. Other applications include foam-blowing, solvent
cleaning and textile coating. Textiles coated with fluorocarbons provide good resistance to weathering, UV light aging, chemical and soil resistance. Treated textiles also give good water-proof and anti-pilling
effect. Coated textiles.

POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCB”s) and POLYCHLORINATED TERPHENYLS (PCT”s)are persistent organic pollutants and have entered the environment through both use and disposal. Polychlorinated biphenyls commonly known as PCBs are man made chemicals. These chlorinated oils havea low degree of reactivity. They are not flammable, have high electrical resistance, good insulating properties and are very stable even when exposed to heat and pressure. Uses for PCBs quickly expanded
to include hydraulic fluids, casting wax, plasticizers, pigments, adhesives, fire-retardants; vapour suppressants to extend the kill-life of insecticides; coatings to render fabric flame-proof, rot-proof and waterrepellent, lacquers, varnishes and paints.

POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS (PAH’S)

are one of the most widespread organic pollutants. In addition to their presence in fossil fuels they are also formed by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels such as wood, coal, diesel, fat,tobacco, or incense PAH contaminations have been found in rubber but also in various plastics.

POLYVINYLCHLORIDE (PVC)

is a widely used thermoplastic polymer. It can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers, the most widely-used being phthalates. In this form, it is used in clothing and upholstery It is
commonly used in coats, jackets, aprons and bags. The global phase-out of PVC is advocated because it is claimed that dioxin is produced as a byproduct of vinyl chloride manufacture and from incinerationof waste PVC in domestic garbage.

VOLATILE ORGANICS (VOC’s)

are organic chemical compounds that vaporize under normal conditions and enter the atmosphere. Common artificial VOCs include thinners and dry cleaning solvents.

pH VALUE

pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. A solution whose pH is 7 is said to be neutral, which means that it is neither acidic nor basic. pH values that do not fall within the specified limits cancause skin irritation.
