RSL Program Objectives
• Compliance with global chemical substances regulations
• Avoidance of product safety and liability issues
• Generally safe products for human and environment
• Ready for REACh, the new European Chemical Law
• Optimized production and product quality
Modern Testing Services (Germany) GmbH
How to achieve RSL objectives?
• Classical version:RSL conformity by means of systematic analytical control on all levels
• Trust versionRSL conformity based on compliance declarations through the whole global textile supply chain
statistical analytical control
• Integrated und sustainable version
RSL-conformity through implementaion of modern product- und raw material approval systems during manufacturing
Responsibilty stays 100% within the supply chain
Modern Testing Services (Germany) GmbH
Pro and Contra
• Classical version:Independency of supply chainPractically no transparency in the case of failureRaising costs and analytical challenges Running out model
• Trust versionFavourite on the market at the momentBut, can we really trust the supply chain?High risk for unneeded substance restrictions (to be on safe side)Innovation
• Integrated and sustainable versionThe clear concept futureChallenging, needs special know how about textile chemistryProvides maximum of flexibility und transparency
