It’s Apple’s mission to make sure that anyone who assembles, uses, or recycles
an Apple product can do so safely. We have led the industry in removing many
harmful substances from our product designs, and we go to great lengths to makesure that they stay that way. We are constantly designing our products to be betterfor the environment, better for the people who use them, and better for the people
who make them.
This Regulated Substances Specification describes Apple’s global restrictions on
the use of certain chemical substances or materials in Apple’s products, accessories,
manufacturing processes, and packaging used for shipping products to Apple’s
end-customers. Restrictions are derived from international laws or directives,
regulatory agency or eco-label requirements, and Apple policies. Apple’s restrictions
may go beyond regulatory requirements in order to protect human health and theenvironment.
This specification is not an exhaustive list of all chemicals of concern. Apple suppliers
should take action to understand the human health and environmental impacts of
all chemicals used in the manufacturing process and present in parts and materials
supplied to Apple. Suppliers should take action to reduce or eliminate the use ofchemicals of concern listed in this specification as a first step, as well as comply withall applicable regulations. Suppliers must certify compliance with this specificationand provide required documentation (including required test data, Full Material
Disclosure (FMD), and disclosure of reportable substances). Suppliers must notify
Apple of any changes in formulation of materials or parts.
We hold our suppliers accountable by conducting factory audits and testing materials
and components at certified laboratories for substances of high concern. Apple may
verify supplier data and compliance to this specification utilizing our in-houselaboratory.
Effective Date: This specification takes effect on September 1, 2018. Prior to thisdate, revision J of the Regulated Substances Specification is in effect.
Questions: Questions regarding the Apple Regulated Substances Specification
should be directed to Apple at environment@apple.com.

Reportable Substances and Future Restrictions in Manufacturing Processes | Supplementary Specifications | Demonstrating Compliance | Waiver Process | Full Material Disclosure (FMD) | Revision History | Referenced Documents | Appendices2. Definitions
Apple Policy: Apple restrictions that go beyond regulatory requirements, based onbest industry practices or toxicological properties.
CAS: Chemical Abstracts Service registry numbers that identify unique substances.
Elemental chlorine free (ECF): Packaging material produced with pulp that has
been bleached using a chlorine derivative such as chlorine dioxide (ClO2), but
without the use of elemental chlorine (Cl).
External Materials: Materials that are accessible to a customer under reasonable orforeseeable use.
Final assembly: Manufacturing process involving assembly of a product that is thendirectly sold to Apple customers, retail stores, or distribution channels.
Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs): Chemicals that can interfere with theendocrine (hormone) system to cause possible adverse effects in humans and wildlife.
Full Material Disclosure (FMD): Initiative that requires suppliers to provide the entire
chemical composition of the parts and materials used in Apple products to ensurecompliance to regulatory requirements, corporate initiatives, and to support assessmentof the impact to human and environmental health. See Section 11 for details.
Homogeneous material: One material of uniform composition throughout ora material, consisting of a combination of materials, that cannot be disjointed,
disaggregated, or separated into different materials by mechanical actions suchas unscrewing, cutting, crushing, grinding, and abrasive processes. The definition
is consistent with Directive 2011/65/EU on the Restriction of the Use of Certain
Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS 2). Per thisdocument, the following examples illustrate what is and is not a homogeneous material:• A plastic cover is a homogeneous material if it consists of one type of plastic that is
not coated with other materials, or has other materials attached to it.
• A cable that consists of metal wires surrounded by nonmetallic insulation materials
isn’t a homogeneous material because mechanical processes could separate thedifferent materials. In this case, restrictions apply to each of the separated materials
individually.
• A semiconductor package contains many homogeneous materials that include themold compound, die attach adhesive, die coatings, bonding wires, lead frame, andlead frame platings. Restrictions apply to each individual homogeneous material.
• Printed circuit board laminated materials consist of glass cloth, resins, and copper
foil that are each a homogeneous material. Restrictions apply to each individual
homogeneous material.

Apple Regulated Substances Specification—069-0135-K | September 2018

Intentionally added: Substance deliberately used in the formulation of a material
or component, where the presence of the substance in the final product provides a
specific characteristic, appearance, or quality.
Nanomaterials: A natural, incidental, or manufactured material containing particles, inan unbound state or as an aggregate or as an agglomerate and where, for 50 percent
or more of the particles in the number size distribution, one or more external dimensions
are in the size range 1 nm–100 nm. In addition, fullerenes, graphene flakes, andsingle-wall carbon nanotubes with one or more external dimensions below 1 nm
should be considered as nanomaterials.
Non-use: Substance must not be intentionally or unintentionally added and is notdetected using current or specified analytical methods.
Packaging: Packaging materials used to enclose or protect Apple products during
shipment to the end-customer. Packaging shipped to suppliers or OEMs (e.g., tapeand reel, trays), and packaging materials used to encapsulate board-level electricalcomponents such as integrated circuits are not included in this definition.
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS): Substances that contain one or more
perfluoroalkyl moieties, –CnF2n+1.
Personal protective equipment (PPE): Equipment for protecting workers fromexposure to hazardous materials in the workplace specific to the job function.
ppm: Parts per million by weight of a substance; equivalent to 1 mg/kg or 0.0001
percent by weight.
Processed chlorine free (PCF): Packaging material produced with pulp from virgin
and/or recycled content that has been bleached without any type of chlorine, or thathas not been bleached at all. Recycled content may have originally been bleachedwith chlorine or chlorine derivatives.
Test Report Mapping (TRM): The form used to map test reports to declaredmaterials. The TRM form is created in and exported from the FMD Portal and replaces
the Material Content Declaration (MCD) form. The TRM form and mapped test reports
are collected by Apple manufacturing partners to document compliance of the partsand materials used in Apple products. The information required to create a TRM form
for Apple’s manufacturing partners is the foundation of an FMD declaration requiredby Apple. These processes have been harmonized to eliminate duplicative work andalign requirements across the Apple supply chain.
Totally chlorine free (TCF): Packaging material produced with pulp from virgin
content that has been bleached without any type of chlorine, or that has not been
bleached at all.

5. Notifying Apple of Chemical Phase Out and Reformulation from Suppliers
Suppliers are required to communicate promptly any changes in chemical manufacturing processes, manufacturing site changes, or any other change that will affect any attributeof the material either in its chemical composition (intentional or residual) or its lead time. For example, if for environmental or other purposes you wish to modify the goods or theprocesses, production lines, or site(s) used to manufacture the goods in any way after qualification by Apple, you must provide Apple with the reason (e.g., an internal initiative
to a phase out or to reformulate any material/part due to a chemical or any other concern), by contacting your Apple Global Supply Manager(s) or the Apple Environmental Team at
environment@apple.com prior to any such modification. Apple will review your submission and decide whether, or to what extent, a modification is permitted. Subject to the above,
you agree to not modify the goods or the processes used to manufacture the goods in any way after qualification without Apple’s prior written consent.

to adhere to these requirements and provide information to Apple in a timely manner.

those metals directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups that areperpetrators of serious human rights abuses in the DRC or an adjoining country.
Suppliers may only source tin, tantalum, tungsten, or gold through smelters andrefiners participating in a conflict-free verification of their sourcing practices byan independent third-party organization or program recognized by Apple. Apple
expects each supplier to provide complete and accurate reporting of its due
diligence efforts for all tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold used in Apple Component
Goods. Apple will audit suppliers’ Conflict Minerals data submissions to ensure
conformity with Apple requirements. If any supplier becomes aware that it hassourced tin, tantalum, tungsten, or gold that is from the DRC or any adjoining
country and that directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups, in any
Component Goods incorporated into Apple products, the supplier must immediately
notify Apple in writing at conflictfree@apple.com.

All test reports must meet the following requirements:• Test reports must be no more than two years old from the date submitted to Apple orApple’s manufacturing partners. Materials tested must be homogeneous. Test reportsthat are not at a homogeneous material level are not acceptable (e.g., modules madeup of several homogeneous materials tested after grinding the entire subassembly).
• Apple requires unaltered test reports from certified labs as proof of compliance forthe substances listed in Section 9. Digital test reports must be in the form of original,
unaltered PDF files containing text and images as provided by the certified lab(s).
Scanned, photographed, modified, and/or image-only PDF files are prohibited without
Apple’s prior approval.
• A nationally or internationally certified laboratory must issue the test report. Supplierowned laboratories are acceptable if they are independently certified and evidenceof certification must be submitted to environment@apple.com for approval. One
example of international certification is ISO 17025.
• Testing for substances restricted by RoHS should be performed using methods
referenced in IEC 62321, or other test methods preapproved by Apple. Testing forbromine and chlorine must be performed according to method EN 14582, EPA
SW-846 5050/9056, or other test methods preapproved by Apple. Test reports basedon X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) are not acceptable forms of compliancedocumentation.
• Testing must be conducted on the material in the form present in the final Apple
product, accessory, or retail packaging item (i.e., “dry” or “cured”).
• Test reports submitted to Apple must be issued in English or include English if abilingual report.
• It is the supplier’s responsibility to provide test reports at its expense.
Apple or Apple’s manufacturing partners may request renewed test reports on acase-by-case basis, at the supplier’s expense, if there are concerns regarding thevalidity of the test data or compliance of the parts.
All compliance documentation (e.g., test reports and declarations) must be retainedby the supplier for a minimum of 10 years as part of the supplier’s record-keeping
process. Digital formats are acceptable unless otherwise noted. Suppliers are also
expected to have compliance assurance processes and systems to control andmaintain compliance. Refer to the Apple Environmental Quality Specification(069-8496) for additional information on supplier’s internal environmental quality
assurance requirements. For substances that are restricted or regulated and havebeen replaced with an alternative substance, the supplier is required to ensure thealternative substance is an environmentally responsible substitution. Substitutions
