| Know before using | AAFA provides the list for information only and says it is voluntary, may contain omissions or inaccuracies, and is not legal advice. A global most-restrictive value is not a complete market or product determination. Verify the current controlling law, jurisdiction, product and component scope, exemptions, effective dates, test method, sampling plan, brand requirements, manufacturing-input controls, and other safety rules. | The record does not create product specifications, prove fit or manufacturability, select materials or construction settings, establish legal compliance, reproduce licensed standards, or replace qualified technical, production, quality, testing, sourcing, logistics, safety, compliance, and legal review. |

| What the source establishes | AAFA published RSL Version 26 on January 28, 2026 in searchable spreadsheet and PDF formats. The association describes it as a regularly updated reference to laws and regulations restricting chemicals in finished apparel, footwear, accessories, and home textiles. Its methodology records final-product or component limits, jurisdiction, test method, and comments, and excludes factory-process restrictions and non-chemical product-safety rules. | The guide cites published ISO documented-information, garment-measurement, stitch, and seam sources plus current U.S. FTC textile and care-labeling guidance; it discloses ISO 10013:2021's current review stage, and its working record makes organization-specific requirements, suppliers, evidence, issues, and approvals explicit. |
