01 — The Foundation

What is GADSL?

GADSL (Global Automotive Declarable Substance List) is a centralized, industry-developed list of chemicals that must be disclosed if found in materials and parts supplied to the automotive industry.

Created collaboratively by significant automakers and suppliers, it standardizes communication about compounds of concern across the worldwide automotive supply chain, supports end-of-life vehicle management, and helps businesses manage material content while facilitating compliance with standards such as REACH and ELV.

GADSL is updated frequently and is largely a declarable list rather than just a prohibition list — Global PCCS keeps your declarations current with every revision.
