Substances whose use in materials and components has been identified by one or more governing bodies as a potential risk to human health or the environment, or subject to existing legal regulations and anticipated legal restrictions, in the GMW 3059 standard developed by General Motors and the relevant GMW CG 4110 substance list standard relevant requirements are described. The purpose of this standard is to facilitate compliance with current and future substance-related regulations.
The global automotive declarable substance list is included for reference in this standard and the GMW CG 4110 standard. This list is the result of a global effort by representatives from automotive original equipment manufacturers, automotive parts suppliers, and the chemical/plastics industries.
The GMW 3059 standard is valid for all materials and components specified by the buyer, including items for which the design belongs to the supplier.
This specification lists substances in materials and components that are prohibited or restricted for reasons of personnel and environmental safety. In short, this standard is based on existing legal regulations. The aim of this specification is to restrict or discontinue the use of the listed substances and also to facilitate compliance with current and future regulations.
The main objectives of automotive product development include continuous improvements in quality, safety and reduction of environmental impact throughout the vehicle lifecycle. These goals should be achieved in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible. A large number of construction, operating and processing materials are used in the automotive production chain, and their selection and correct use has a significant impact on these goals. To achieve these goals, a constant flow of information has been established within the global automotive supply chain, including automakers, tier suppliers and material suppliers. In this way, compliance with current and future regulations is facilitated and customer requirements are taken into account in order to provide sustainable products. The global automotive declarable substance list is the result of such a study.
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, our organization also provides restricted and reportable substances testing services within the scope of the GMW 3059 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
