CHEMICAL POLICY

Chemical Policy, Restricted Substances List

As Pringle of Scotland continues to build its sustainability commitment, we aim to reduce our environmental impact and eliminate the use of harmful chemicals to protect worker/consumer health and the environment.

COMPLIANCE TO GLOBAL LEGISLATIONS

Pringle of Scotland has developed a Restricted Substance List (RSL), which outlines the acceptable limits of potentially toxic or harmful substances which can be present in finished products. This RSL has been developed to comply with legislative and regulatory requirements of the trading territories Pringle of Scotland sells within, including REACH and Proposition 65. Pringle of Scotland expects all our suppliers to supply products that comply with applicable global legislative and regulatory requirements and to take responsibility for keeping up to date with any legislative changes. Suppliers should be risk-assessing all materials and product for compliance as part of the product development process.

RSL (RESTRICTED SUBSTANCE LIST)

The Pringle of Scotland RSL;

Applies to all fabrics, components, products and packaging.
Details the global requirement for restricted substances and respective limits in finished goods. For some high-risk materials, we require mandatory testing to be submitted per order.
Pringle of Scotland accepts alternative to testing demonstration of compliance;
OEKO-TEX®, bluesign®.
If you become aware that any Product(s) may or do contain any restricted substance(s), please notify Pringle of Scotland immediately by emailing your technical contact.

ACTION FOR SUPPLIERS

Pringle of Scotland requires suppliers to ensure all products and packaging meet the limits set out in our RSL. To ensure compliant product, suppliers must:

Communicate our RSL upstream to material, component, and chemical suppliers.
Source materials/components responsibly at development/order stage by requesting
declarations, recognised certifications and/or test reports from your suppliers showing compliance to our RSL.
Map material/component sources to establish compliant sources.
Test materials/components for high-risk chemicals and submit mandatory chemical testing to your technologist prior to Gold Seal Approval.
Highlight any non-conformance with our RSL prior to starting production/delivery.
Respond swiftly to Pringle of Scotland’s request to see evidence of compliance in cases of customer complaints or enforcement authority challenge.

BRAND/SUPPLIER ACTION ON CHEMICAL FAILURES

As soon as the supplier becomes aware of any product that may not comply with the Pringle of Scotland RSL they must notify Pringle of Scotland immediately. Providing evidence of compliance and product information required in the format set out below. The supplier must co-operate with all reasonable requests to provide such information as necessary to demonstrate evidence of testing and product compliance.

DEALING WITH COMPLAINTS AND ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY CHALLENGES

In the event that:

Pringle of Scotland receives notice that it has resold a product supplied by you that does not comply with our RSL; or
Pringle of Scotland carries out testing on your product and determines a failure to comply with our RSL; or
Pringle of Scotland receives a complaint from our customer, we will take steps to immediately withdraw the Product from further sale

PRINGLE OF SCOTLAND ACTIONS ON CHEMICAL FAILURES

Pringle of Scotland will not accept products, which fail to comply with our RSL and reserves the right to:

Reject non-compliant products and require a replacement with compliant products.
Require re-working of the products to comply with the Pringle of Scotland RSL.
Test and/or conduct a product recall.
Cancel any undelivered order(s).
Discount / price reduction of delivered order(s).
Apply service credits.
Apply monetary deductions including but not limited to covering the cost of paying fines to an enforcement authority.
Account for any lost profits incurred by Pringle of Scotland including but not limited to as a result of a Product recall and making goodwill payments.
Destroy or safely dispose of products (at supplier’s cost).
Reject stock (supplier to arrange and pay for the cost of storage and collection).
Recover associated costs from suppliers.
