Substance Regulations

GADSL Declarable Substance Compliance

Assess every automotive part and material on your BOM against the GADSL declarable and prohibited substance list, and see which substances need declaring, which are restricted, and where the supporting declaration sits.

Substances declared and restricted across automotive supply chains

GADSL lists the substances that automotive parts and materials must declare or keep out, and it is reported through IMDS. Compliance Manager assesses your whole BOM against the list, so here is what you get.

Häufige Fragen

Which substances does Z2 assess automotive parts against for GADSL?

Compliance Manager assesses your parts against the current GADSL entries, covering both declarable (D) substances such as certain phthalates and nickel and prohibited (P) substances such as lead, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium. Every part carrying a listed substance is flagged, with the classification shown so you know whether a declaration or a substitution is called for.

Where do the GADSL compliance statuses come from?

Statuses are drawn from Z2's database of full material declarations and certificates of compliance, backed by downloadable manufacturer documentation. Z2 reads those declarations down to the substance level, so each Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant status carries the evidence behind it.

What does Z2 give my team toward GADSL reporting?

Compliance Manager assesses the full material declarations behind your parts against the current GADSL entries and shows which substances are declarable and which are prohibited. The declarations and certificates supporting each status stay attached, giving your team a traceable basis for what gets reported.

How does GADSL fit with the rest of my compliance program in Z2?

GADSL is one of more than 270 regulations Compliance Manager assesses on the same BOM. The parts you check for GADSL are evaluated against REACH, the ELV Directive, EU RoHS, and conflict minerals at the same time, with item rollup showing status at every level from component to finished assembly.
