H&M all set for REACH

H&M works actively to restrict the use of chemicals that may be harmful to health or the environment and is therefore all set to meet the requirements of REACH, the EU’s legislation on chemicals which entered into force in 2007.

REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances and its aim is to reduce the use of harmful chemicals. As an importer of goods, H&M is obliged to notify what are known as substances of very high concern (SVHC) to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). This applies if products contain more than 0.1 percent by weight of such a substance and if the total quantity of the substance exceeds one tonne per importer or manufacturer and year.

H&M’s goal is to buy no products containing substances of very high concern. This is ensured by means of our Chemical Restrictions, which are updated regularly. Suppliers to H&M sign an agreement undertaking to comply with our Chemical Restrictions. Our quality department checks that the restrictions are being observed, using methods such as supplier training, factory checks and having products tested at external laboratories.
