The list is comprised of individual or groups of chemicals that are classified as "banned", "restricted" or "substance of concern". Both suppliers and Electrolux facilities must phase out substances classified as banned and restricted and report the presence of substances of concern. This is mandatory for all materials, parts of products and packaging supplied to Electrolux.

The RML is designed to facilitate compliance to RoHS and upcoming stricter chemicals regulations in China and California. The purpose of the list goes beyond expediting compliance. By monitoring the presence of chemicals that may potentially constitute a risk, the Group is also prepared to act swiftly in the event of new scientific findings.

Compliance with the RML is mandatory for all suppliers and Electrolux facilities and is the Group minimum requirement. There may be further specific requirements. Contact your Electrolux business partner for more information.
