Restricted Substances List
The Dometic Restricted Substances List (RSL) covers substances requiring reporting to be notified to Dometic in case of their presence in an article or material delivered to Dometic Group. The RSL consists of six sub-lists. For each sub-list, a link leads to an official list of substances as being defined by a Convention or Legislation.
Reporting by suppliers shall be made using templates and tools provided by Dometic. Please note that a specific substance may be found in several sub-lists, e.g. lead can be found on sub-lists A, B, C and D. In such cases suppliers are only required to report once if an article or material contains lead.
Due to the evolution of regulations and legal requirements globally, regionally and locally, suppliers may have reporting obligations regarding regulations beyond the ones listed in this document.
| # | Sub-group of substances | Specification and links | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Substances banned in several product specific legislation such as EU Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS), China RoHS, End-of Life Vehicles (ELV), Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), Packaging and Packaging Waste (PPWR), and batteries and waste batteries | EU RoHS Annex II (ECHA version) , ELV Directive, Directive 2012/19/EU - on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste, Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 concerning batteries and waste batteries | Presence of substances shall be reported to Dometic even if concentration level is under the legislative threshold value or if the article benefits from a specific exemption in the legislation. |
| B | Substances restricted under Reach Annex XVII | Reach Annex XVII | |
| C | Reach Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) | ECHA candidate list | Presence of substances shall be reported to Dometic even if the known concentration level is under the threshold value of 0,1% in an article. |
| D | California Proposition 65 | OEHHA, Proposition 65 Law and Regulations | Presence of substances shall be reported to Dometic even for other applications than those specifically mentioned in the legislation. This regulation does not ban any substance, it simply requires a warning if any of the substances could be present. Given the list is large and not static, Dometic will generally apply the warning label to products sold in California even if we are unaware of the presence of a banned chemical. |
| E | Toxic Substances Control Act | TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory | THE EPA has not currently set up a dedicated list specific to articles such as Dometic appliances. The currently banned chemicals (Feb.2025) for articles are the following: Decabromodiphenyl Ether (DecaBDE) Phenol, Iso propylated Phosphate (3:1) (PIP 3:1) 2,4,6-tris (tert-butyl) phenol (2,4,6-TTBP), Hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD), Pentachloro thiophenol (PCTP) Note: the list is subject to change. Refer to the respective link for the latest information. |
| F | Conflict Minerals and similar | Minerals and metals of tin, tungsten, tantalum, gold, and cobalt EU Conflict Minerals Regulation SEC Conflict Minerals |
Articles (and their materials) containing these minerals shall be reported to Dometic independent of whether smelters are known or not. |
Note: Due to the evolution of regulations and legal requirements globally, regionally and locally, suppliers may have reporting obligations regarding regulations beyond the ones listed in the document.
