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.
To t al l y Ch l o r i ne F re e ( TC F ) : Process by which packaging material is produced with pulp from virgin content that has been bleached without any type of chlorine, or that has not been bleached at all.
Var nish : Tra ns pa re nt co at in g m at er i al .

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.

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.

10. Waiver Process
Any instances of materials exceeding the thresholds in this specification must immediately be reported to Apple. Suppliers that are seeking a temporary waiver of 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.
