Introduction
Fast Retailing (FR) has committed to detox the apparel and footwear supply chains startingfrom 2013. To comply with this commitment, FR would eliminate the release of hazardous
chemicals to protect consumers, worker, sourcing communities, and the natural environment
using an approach based on Prevention principle1 and Precautionary Principle2.
We recognize it is very important to address hazardous substances potentially used anddischarged into the environment during manufacturing and related processes deep within our
supply chain, not just for substances that could be present in finished products. Following
this approach, FR has developed a Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL), which
defines thresholds and restrictions for substances identified as hazardous and potentiallyused in production and discharged into the environment during processing.

Methodology
The intent of FR MRSL is to provide suppliers with a harmonized approach to managing
chemicals during the processing of raw materials within the apparel and footwear supply
chain. The FR MRSL is a clear list of priority chemicals banned from intentional use inproduction site and specifying the maximum concentration limit of each substance withincommercial chemical formulations.
As FR has joined ZDHC Group in 2019, to better align with the industry standard, Fast
Retailing has set up this MRSL fully adopting all ZDHC MRSL requirements, which includes
original 11 priority chemical groups referring to FR’s Detox commitment. Furthermore, FR
MRSL also includes additional substances aligned with other regulations, such as Oeko-Tex
100 and AFIRM, and identified by industry expert’s evaluation.

1 This means solutions are focused on elimination of use at source, not on end-of-pipe or risk management. This requires either
substitution with non-hazardous chemicals or where necessary finding non-chemical alternative solutions, such as re-evaluatingproduct design or the functional need for chemicals.
2 This means taking preventive action before waiting for conclusive scientific proof regarding cause and effect between thesubstance (or activity) and the damage. It is based on the assumption that some hazardous substances cannot be rendered harmlessby the receiving environment (i.e. there are no “environmentally acceptable”/”safe” use or discharge levels) and that prevention ofpotentially serious or irreversible damage is required, even in the absence of full scientific certainty.

5/36

The FR MRSL should be communicated to raw material suppliers, including sub-contractors
and factories assembling or manufacturing garments and footwear. We also expect thatmaterial suppliers and factories will communicate with their chemical suppliers to ensure that
listed substances are not present in chemical formulations above established limits.

Scope
Manufacturing in facilities processing textile materials, leather, rubber, foam, adhesives andtrim parts in textiles, apparel, and footwear.

Definitions
Chemical Substance:
A chemical substance is a chemical element and its compounds in the natural state or
obtained by any manufacturing process

Chemical Formulation:
A chemical formulation is usually a proprietary blend of several chemical substances that isavailable for purchase from chemical suppliers under their own trade name.

Hazardous chemicals:
Hazardous chemicals mean those show intrinsically hazardous properties: persistent,
bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT); very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB);
carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic for reproduction (CMR); endocrine disruptors (ED); or
other properties of equivalent concern, not just those that have been regulated or restricted
in other regions.

No Intentional Use:A no intentional use indicates that the MRSL-listed chemical substance or group of
substances may not be used to achieve a desired function or effect during production of the

6/36

raw material or product (that is, usage ban). Due to the existence of manufacturing impurities
in chemical formulations, a minor or trace amount of the restricted substance is permitted.
Chemical formulations containing restricted substances that exceed limits are not compliant
with FR MRSL.

CAS Number:
Chemical Abstracts Service number, single and unique numerical identifiers to every
chemical substance. FR MRSL focuses on chemical substances listed by CAS number, but
it also includes groups of substances for which listing individual substances is not practical.

Trim parts:
Except for the packaging materials, all the trims and accessories that sewed in the garment(sewing thread, button, interlining, lining, zips, labels, care label, etc.).

7/36

General Requirements
Chapter 1: MRSL•Group of “in Manufacturing”
This group substances are banned from intentional use in facilities that process raw materials and manufacture finished products.

•

Group of “in Chemical Formulations”
This group 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 achievableby responsible chemical manufacturers.

The substances marked with “Yes” in ZDHC MRSL column, are associated with the same requirements of ZDHC MRSL, whatever is “inManufacturing” or “in Chemical Formulations”.
More information and guidance on each substance are available on the ZDHC MRSL, including, where it may be found, why it is restricted andwhat are safer alternatives.
.

Chapter 2: MRSL Candidate List
Proposed MRSL additions can meet listing criteria, yet lack safer alternatives at scale. Including such substances on the Candidate List encourages
the innovation of alternatives.

Chapter 3: Archived Substances
Archived substances, or those without strong evidence of current use in Industry, but with clear evidence of historical use.

In Version 3 of the ZDHC MRSL, it is intended to place restrictions oncertain solvents with certain specific hazardous properties (e.g.
CMRs). The restrictions are likely to apply to the inclusion of such
solvents in formulations for use by wet processors and productassembly factories - and deliberate use of neat solvents in thosefacilities. Studies on usage patterns, exposure controls, safer
alternatives and the potential effects of restrictions are necessary
before restrictions can beproposed. Any potential ZDHC MRSL limits will need to be establishedcollaboratively with groups who are working in parallel to study
solvents in relation to workplace safety, air emissions, RSL complianceand downstream concerns.

Additional Requirements
Besides specific hazardous substances required in above table, there are some additional parameters that FR requires during the production.
These include restrictions and requirements on Asbestos and PVC materials, which are explained in more details in the following sections.
1. Asbestos materials
The use of Asbestos materials is prohibited by domestic legislation in many countries or regions as carcinogens. Asbestos materials
are used for slates, insulation and heat-retention materials, and it has been found that Asbestos materials might be the root cause oflung fibrosis, malignant mesothelioma and lung cancer when the asbestos particles have been inhaled by human body.
If Asbestos materials are used in the facility, there is the possibility of causing serious health effects to employees and the surrounding
environment. As Asbestos materials are highly dangerous, they must be investigated and treated by qualified experts. When it isconfirmed that materials containing asbestos are found, the following countermeasures must be taken:-

The location of the asbestos used must be recorded and marked appropriately and visibly, and countermeasures must be taken toprevent any subsequent damage;-

Visual inspection must be conducted regularly to check any potential damage until disposal is completed;-

Employees must be trained to increase awareness of asbestos and to learn the countermeasures in case asbestos damage isfound;-

Disposal must be conducted in accordance with the relevant laws; and-The asbestos materials damaged must be repaired by a qualified contractor.

32/36

2. PVC materials
FR has banned the use of PVC materials in any FR products (including components). PVC is a widely used thermoplastic polymer,
and it can be softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers and the most widely-used plasticizers are phthalates. In Apparel
Industry, PVC material is commonly used in coats, jackets, aprons and bags. FR decides to ban PVC materials due to the following
reasons:➢ Many phthalates are known to be reprotoxic and might cause birth defects or changes in hormone level. Phthalates are also
one chemical group of 11 priority hazardous chemical to eliminate according to FR’s commitment from 2013; and➢ It is claimed that dioxin is produced as a byproduct of vinyl chloride manufacture and from incineration of waste PVC indomestic garbage.

Appendix 1. Potential Uses

Chemical Group

1. APs / APEOs

2. Phthalates (ortho-Phthalates)

Potential Uses in Apparel and Footwear Textile Processing

APEOs can be found in:
Detergents, scouring agents, spinning oils, wetting agents, softeners, emulsifier/dispersing agents for dyes andprints, impregnating agents, degumming for silk production, dyes and pigment preparations, polyester padding anddown/feather fillings.
Esters of ortho-phthalic acid (phthalates) are a class of organic compounds commonly added to plastics to increase
flexibility. They sometimes are used to facilitate moulding of plastic by decreasing its melting temperature.
Phthalates can be found in:•
Flexible plastic components (e.g., PVC)•
Print pastes•
Adhesives•
Plastic buttons•
Plastic sleevings•
Polymeric coatings

3a. Brominated Flame Retardants
3b. Chlorinated Flame Retardants

Flame retardant chemicals are rarely used to meet flammability requirements in children’s clothing and adultproducts. They should no longer be used in apparel and footwear.

4a. Azo Dyes

Azo dyes and pigments are colourants that incorporate one or several azo groups (-N=N-) bound with aromaticcompounds. Thousands of azo dyes exist, but only those that degrade to form the listed cleavable amines are
restricted. Azo dyes that release these amines are regulated and should no longer be used for dyeing of textiles.

4b. Navy Blue

Navy Blue colourants are regulated and should no longer be used for dyeing of textiles.
Most of Carcinogenic dyes are regulated and should no longer be used for dyeing of textiles.

4c. Disperse & Carcinogenic Dyes

Disperse dyes are a class of water-insoluble dyes that penetrate the fibre system of synthetic or manufactured fibres
and are held in place by physical forces without forming chemical bonds. Disperse dyes are used in synthetic fibre(e.g., polyester, acetate, polyamide). Restricted disperse dyes are suspected of causing allergic reactions andshould no longer be used for dyeing of textiles.

5. Organotin Compounds

6. PFCs

Potential Uses in Apparel and Footwear Textile Processing

Organotins are a class of chemicals combining tin and organics such as butyl and phenyl groups. Organotins are
predominantly found in the environment as antifoulants in marine paints, but they can also be used as biocides (e.g.,
antibacterials), catalysts in plastic and glue production and heat stabilisers in plastics/rubber. In textiles and apparel,organotins are associated with plastics/rubber, inks, paints, metallic glitter, polyurethane products and heat transfer
material.
Durable water, oil and stain repellent finishes and soil release finishes (fluorinated polymers) based on long-chain
technology are banned from intentional use. Long-chain compounds according to the Organisation for Evonomic Cooperation and Development (OECD) definition (https://www.oecd.org/ehs/pfc/) are based on long-chain
perfluorocarboxylic acids (C8 and higher) and on long-chain perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (C6 and higher).
The main contaminants of this technology include: Perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFSAs) with carbon chain lengths C6
and higher (e.g., PFOS, perfluorooctane sulfonate) and Perfluorocarboxylic acids with carbon chain lengths C8 andhigher (e.g., PFOA, perfluorooctanoic acid).
PFOA and PFOS may be present as unintended by-products in long-chain commercial water, oil and stain repellent
agents. PFOA also may be in use for polymers like polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

7. COC (Chlorobenzenes/Chlorotoluenes)

Chlorobenzenes and chlorotoluenes (chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons) can be found as carriers in the dyeing
process of polyester or wool/polyester fibres. They can also be used as solvents.

8a. Halogenated Solvents / VOCs

In apparel and footwear, solvents are used as finishing/cleaning and printing agents, for dissolving and diluting fats,oils and adhesives (e.g., in degreasing or cleaning operations).

8b. Other Solvents

These volatile organic compounds should not be used in textile auxiliary chemical preparations. They are associatedwith solvent-based processes like solvent-based polyurethane coatings and glues/adhesives. They should not be
used for any kind of facility cleaning or spot cleaning.

9. Chlorinated Phenols / OPP

Chlorophenols are poly chlorinated compounds used as preservatives or pesticides.
Pentachlorophenol (PCP) and tetrachlorophenol (TeCP) have been used in the past to prevent mould when storing /transporting, raw hides and leather. They are now regulated and should not be used.

10. Chlorinated Paraffins (SCCP / MCCP)

Short-chain chlorinated paraffins can be found as contaminants within long-chain chlorinated paraffins and sulfochlorinated paraffins, used as fat liquoring agents.

Potential Uses in Apparel and Footwear Textile Processing••

11. Heavy Metals•••

Arsenic and its compounds can be found in some preservatives, pesticides and defoliants for cotton. It isalso associated with synthetic fibres, paints, inks, trims and plastics.
Cadmium compounds are found in or used as: pigments (particularly red, orange, yellow and green), a
stabilizer for PVC plastic and in fertilisers, biocides and paints (e.g., surface paints on zippers andbuttons).
Mercury compounds can be present in pesticides and can be found as contamination in caustic soda
(NaOH). Mercury compounds may be used in paints (e.g., surface paints on zippers and buttons).
In apparel and footwear, lead may be associated with plastics, paints, inks, pigments and surface
coatings.
Although typically associated with leather tanning, chromium VI also may be used in the dyeing of wool
(after the chroming process).

12. Glycols

In apparel and footwear, glycols have a wide range of uses including as solvents for finishing/cleaning, printing
agents, and dissolving and diluting fats, oils and adhesives (e.g., in degreasing or cleaning operations).

13. PAHs

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are natural components of crude oil and are a common residue from oil
refining. PAHs have a characteristic smell similar to the smell of car tires or asphalt. Oil residues containing PAHs
are added to rubber and plastics as a softener or extender and may be found in rubber, plastics, lacquers andcoatings. PAHs are often found in the outsoles of footwear and in printing pastes of screen prints. PAHs can bepresent as impurities in Carbon Black. They also may be formed from thermal decomposition of recycled materials
during reprocessing.
