WASHINGTON DC – The American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) has released the latest edition of its Restricted Substance List (RSL) of banned or restricted chemicals and substances for finished apparel, footwear, and home textile products.
The trade body says the 21st edition of its chemical management resource listing, which aims to identify the most restrictive regulations worldwide, reflects recent changes in the global regulatory environment.
The RSL is an open-industry resource available to both AAFA members and also to the global industry. It is produced by AAFA’s RSL Task Force, which reviews and updates the list regularly to reflect the latest global regulatory changes.
