Apple Regulated Substances Specification—069-0135-L | May 2021
1. Scope
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 make
sure that they stay that way. We are constantly designing our products to be better
for the environment, and for people.
This Regulated Substances Specification describes Apple’s global restrictions on
the use of certain chemical substances or materials in Apple products, accessories,
manufacturing processes, and packaging used for shipping products to Apple’s
end-customers. Restrictions are derived from international laws or directives,
regulatory agencies, eco-label requirements, environmental standards, and Apple
policies. Apple’s restrictions may go beyond regulatory requirements in order to
protect human health and the environment.
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 of
chemicals of concern listed in this specification as a first step, as well as comply
with all applicable regulations. Suppliers must demonstrate compliance with this
specification and 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 ho ld ou r sup pliers accoun table by condu cting fac tory audi ts a nd testing mate rials
and components at certified laboratories for substances of high concern. Apple
may verify supplier data and compliance to this specification utilizing our in-house
laboratory or external third-party certified laboratories.
Effective Date: This specification takes effect on May 15, 2021. Prior to this date,
revision K 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.

2. Definitions
Alloy: A metallic material, homogeneous on a macroscopic scale, consisting of two
ormore elements so combined that they cannot be readily separated by mechanical
means.
Apple Policy: Apple restrictions that go beyond regulatory requirements, based on
best industry practices or toxicological properties.
CAS: Chemical Abstracts Service registry numbers that identify unique substances.
Chemical Safety Disclosure (CSD): Initiative that requires suppliers to provide
information on the chemicals used in Apple manufacturing processes, to report
practices in place to ensure compliance with occupational health and safety
regulations and Apple requirements, and to support initiatives to advance the
adoption of safer, environmentally preferable alternatives. See Section 12 for details.
Coating: Product in liquid, paste, or powder form that, when applied to a substrate,
forms a layer possessing protective, decorative, and/or other specific properties.
Metallic plating layers are exempted from coating requirements.
Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF): Process by which packaging material is produced
with pulp that has been bleached using a chlorine derivative such as chlorine dioxide
(ClO2), but without the use of elemental chlorine (Cl).
Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs): Chemicals that can interfere with the
endocrine (hormone) system to cause possible adverse effects in humans and wildlife.
External Materials: Materials that are accessible to a customer under reasonable or
foreseeable use.
Final assembly: Manufacturing process involving assembly of a product that is then
directly sold to Apple customers, retail stores, or distribution channels.
Full Material Disclosure (FMD): Initiative that requires suppliers to provide the entire
chemical composition of the parts and materials used in Apple products to ensure
compliance to regulatory requirements, corporate initiatives, and to support assessment
of the impact to human and environmental health. See Section 11 for details.
Homogeneous material: One material of uniform composition throughout or
a material, consisting of a combination of materials, that cannot be disjointed,
disaggregated, or separated into different materials by mechanical actions such
as 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 this
document, 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 the different
materials. In this case, restrictions apply to each of the separated materials individually.
• A semiconductor package contains many homogeneous materials that include the
mold compound, die attach adhesive, die coatings, bonding wires, lead frame, and
lead 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.
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.
Mixture: Solutions composed of two or more substances in which they do not react.
Nanomaterials: A natural, incidental, or manufactured material containing particles,
in an 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 1 nm–100 nm size range. In addition, fullerenes, graphene
flakes, and single-wall carbon nanotubes with one or more external dimensions below
1 nm should be considered as nanomaterials.

No intentional use: Substance must not be intentionally added. Proof of compliance
requires either 1) the substance is not listed in “Section 3 Composition/information
on ingredients” of submitted Safety Data Sheet (SDS), which meets Globally
Harmonized System (GHS) cutoff value requirement or 2) chemical manufacturer
provides self-declaration of no intentional use.
Non-use: Substance must not be intentionally or unintentionally present. Apple
requires test reports from certified labs as proof of compliance. For all Section 6
restrictions, the substance must be under the method detection level by using
Apple 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., tape
and reel, trays), and inter- and intra-factory protective packaging that does not
remain in final product are not covered by the RSS.
Paint: Coatings containing pigments that, when applied to a substrate, form a dry
film with protective, decorative, or special functions.
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS): Substances that contain one or
more perfluoroalkyl moieties, –CnF
2n+1
.
Personal protective equipment (PPE): Equipment for protecting manufacturing
employees from exposure to hazardous materials in the workplace specific to the
job function.
ppb: Parts per billion by weight of a substance; equivalent to 0.001 mg/kg or
0.0000001 percent by weight.
ppm: Parts per million by weight of a substance; equivalent to 1 mg/kg or
0.0001 percent by weight.
Primer: Surface treatment chemical used to increase adhesion when used in
conjunction with a coating or adhesive system.
Process chemical: Chemicals, usedon their own or in formulations,that are not
intentionally incorporated (partly or fully)into the product. Examples of a process
chemical: cleaning agent, degreaser, demolder solution, lubricant, metal working
fluid, heat transfer fluid, etching solution. Examples of a non-process chemical:
paint, coating, ink, adhesive, primer, resin, flux, solder paste.
Processed Chlorine Free (PCF): Process by which material is produced with pulp
from virgin and/or recycled content that has been bleached without any type of
chlorine, or that has not been bleached at all. Recycled content may have originally
been bleached with chlorine or chlorine derivatives.
Te s t R e p o r t M a p p i ng ( T R M ) F o r m: The form used to map test reports to declared
materials. The TRM form is created in and exported from the FMD Portal. The TRM
form and mapped test reports are collected by Apple manufacturing partners to
document compliance of the parts and 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 required by Apple. These processes have been
harmonized to eliminate duplicative work and align requirements across the Apple
supply chain.
Te xt i l e : A flexible material made by creating an interlocking network of yarns or
threads, which are produced by spinning raw fibers (from either natural or synthetic
sources) into long threads.

4. Reportable Substances and Future Restrictions in Products
Suppliers are required to report the use of all substances listed in Section 4, regardless of the future restriction timeline, in any homogeneous materials used in Apple products,
accessories, and packaging as well as in any homogeneous materials applied to or cured onto parts in Apple products, accessories, and packaging. This includes the wet
formulations of adhesives, inks, coatings, primers, and other wet formulations manufactured by the material manufacturer in addition to the cured materials in the finished good.
In some cases, reporting is required only if the substances exceed a defined permissible limit. Apple is prioritizing the chemicals it intends to restrict in the future in order to
work effectively with its supply chain. Suppliers are required to report via FMD Portal and/or the Test Report Mapping (TRM) form for evaluation and approval for use prior to use
in Apple products. Where indicated, Apple expects future restrictions based on regulation or Apple Policy. Some substances will require immediate phase-out; suppliers must start
reformulating existing or qualifying new materials that do not intentionally use the substance(s). In some cases, use will be allowed under a specific threshold limit.

5. Notifying Apple of Chemical Phase Out and Reformulation from Suppliers
Suppliers are required to communicate promptly any change in chemical manufacturing processes, manufacturing site, or any other change that will affect any attribute of the material
either in its chemical composition (intentional or residual) or its lead time. For example, if for environmental or other purposes the supplier wishes to modify the goods or the processes,
production lines, or site(s) used to manufacture the parts or finished goods, the supplier 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 the supplier’s Apple Global Supply Manager(s) and the Apple Environmental Team at environment@apple.com
prior to any such modification. Apple will review the submission and decide whether, or to what extent, a modification is permitted. For any such modification, the supplier must, at
a minimum, provide test reports to meet the requirements of Section 9 and test reports for other substances may also be requested. Subject to the above, suppliers must 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.
6. Restrictions in Manufacturing Processes
Restrictions in Section 6 apply to manufacturing process chemicals used to create components or materials for Apple products and the assembly of Apple products including:
direct use during production or indirect use for manufacturing equipment, machines, or tools during maintenance. Restrictions do not apply to laboratory, housekeeping,
wastewater treatment plant, or other non-manufacturing processes. Suppliers must comply with threshold limits for the chemicals listed in this section. Test reports are required to
demonstrate compliance of non-use. “Non-use” and “no intentional use” are defined in Section 2. Per the Apple Supplier Code of Conduct, suppliers shall identify, evaluate, and
manage occupational health and safety hazards through a prioritized process of hazard elimination, engineering controls, and/or administrative controls. Suppliers shall provide
their employees with suitable job-related, appropriately maintained personal protective equipment and instruction on its proper use.

Apple Regulated Substances Specification—069-0135-L | May 2021

All test reports must meet the following requirements:
• Test reports must be no more than two years old from the date submitted to Apple
or Apple’s manufacturing partners. Material test reports are required for each use of
that material in a new product design. Suppliers are obligated to maintain appropriate
processes and systems to manage test reports so that the valid reports can be
submitted to Apple in a timely manner. Materials tested must be homogeneous.
Test reports that are not at a homogeneous material level are not acceptable
(e.g., modules made up of several homogeneous materials tested after grinding
the entire subassembly).
• Apple requires unaltered test reports of homogeneous materials from certified labs as
proof of compliance for the 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, and will be rejected at Apple’s discretion.
• A nationally or internationally certified laboratory must issue the test report.
Supplier-owned laboratories are acceptable if they are independently certified
and evidence of certification is submitted to environment@apple.com for approval.
One example of international certification is ISO 17025.
• Test reports based on X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) are not acceptable
forms of compliance documentation.
• 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 a
multilingual report.
• It is the supplier’s responsibility to provide test reports at the supplier’s expense.
• Redacted test reports will not be accepted by Apple. They may, however, satisfy
contract manufacturer requirements. Contact the Apple Environmental Quality Team
for guidance as required. (Source: Current version of Apple Environmental Quality
Specification [069-8496] on Section 4.1 General Requirement).
Apple or Apple’s manufacturing partners may request test reports on a case-by-case
basis, at the supplier’s expense, if there are concerns regarding the validity of the test
data or compliance of the parts.
All compliance documentation (e.g., test reports and declarations) must be retained
by 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 and
maintain compliance. Refer to the Apple Environmental Quality Specification
(069-8496) for additional information on supplier’s internal environmental quality
assurance requirements. Questions relating to test requirements may be directed to
Apple Global Supply Managers (GSM), or emailed to Apple at environment@apple.com.
For substances that are restricted or regulated and have been replaced with an
alternative substance, the supplier is required to ensure the alternative substance is
anenvironmentally responsible substitution. Substitutions should be selected based
on minimizing unintended consequences that might occur in phasing out a potentially
hazardous substance. Suppliers shall conduct alternative assessments or obtain
these assessments from their raw materials suppliers prior to making a replacement.
Contact Apple at environment@apple.com for more information on conducting
alternative assessments.

restrictions in the Apple Regulated Substances Specification must make the request
to Apple in writing. Apple will review the request and provide its decision via email to
the requester. Contact Apple at environment@apple.com for more information on
this process.
11. Full Material Disclosure (FMD)
Apple has implemented the Full Material Disclosure (FMD) initiative that requires
suppliers to provide the entire chemical composition of the parts and materials used
in Apple products. Implementation of FMD requires suppliers to disclose the complete,
accurate, and precise identity of the parts and materials used in Apple products.
Apple’s Full Material Disclosure (FMD) requirements are documented in the FMD Data
Requirements for Part Suppliers (080-00316) and the FMD Data Requirements for
Material Suppliers (080-01462) specifications. The use of the FMD data collected
from suppliers is governed by the Apple FMD Data Use Policy (080-00967), which
restricts access to and use of the FMD data submitted to Apple.
Apple will audit supplier FMD data submissions to ensure conformity with the
requirements. Apple will conduct analyses to ensure submissions accurately
reflect the composition of the parts and materials provided. The analyses will
include comparison of FMD data to supplier-provided test reports and may include
comparison to Apple test reports. Please contact FMD_Support@apple.com for
more information.
12. Chemical Safety Disclosure (CSD)
Suppliers must submit the required information in Apple SupplierCare System to
enable Apple to evaluate conformity with the requirements in Section 6 and Section 7
of this specification. Please contact CSD@group.apple.com for more information.
