AFIRM Packaging RSL v8 (2025)
AFIRM member brands may differ on individual parameters; suppliers are advised to check with the customer regarding brand-specific requirements. The AFIRM RSL should leverage AFIRM’s mission — “to reduce the use and impact of harmful substances in the apparel and footwear supply chain” — by providing a single set of information for maximum and in-depth implementation within the supply chain. Some examples of uses for the AFIRM Packaging RSL, depending on the objectives of the user, include:
- Providing a tool for vendors to establish chemical management knowledge and processes.
- Building base compliance with AFIRM member chemical restrictions.
- Providing a common base for testing packaging, which may be accepted by multiple AFIRM brands. AFIRM member companies determine and communicate to their vendors their testing requirements and acceptance of test reports.
The scope of the Packaging RSL ranges from product packaging (e.g. shoe boxes) to retail packaging (e.g. shopping bags)
*Individual CASRNs such as Formaldehyde, Dimethylfumarate (DMFu), Dibutylhydroxytoluene (BHT) and Bisphenols are under the "Other AFIRM Substance Groups" sublist.
