| Know before using | The MRSL controls manufacturing inputs within its stated scope. It does not by itself prove a facility's chemical inventory, implementation, worker protection, emissions, wastewater performance, formulation conformance, or finished-product compliance. Verify the current version, law, brand program, safety rules, chemical-product certificates and status, facility records, and finished-product RSL and testing requirements. | Coverage reflects affiliated guilds, submitted events, and participating professionals rather than every regional option. HGA states that its paid professional listings are supplied and updated by the professional and are not HGA endorsements. Confirm current contact details, teaching format, accessibility, price, skill level, and safeguarding or insurance needs directly. | The record does not create a production grade, supply universal increments or breakpoints, validate a CAD file or fit population, reproduce licensed standards, or replace qualified anthropometric, pattern, technical-design, fit, quality, accessibility, safety, statistical, and user-research review. |

| What the source establishes | ZDHC's current scope defines the MRSL as restrictions on intentional use of listed substances in commercial chemical formulations for textile, leather, rubber, foam, adhesive, and trim processing. Covered inputs include cleaners, dyes, auxiliaries, coatings, finishing agents, maintenance, wastewater-treatment, sanitation, and pest-control chemicals. ZDHC's help centre identifies version 3.1 as the current official MRSL and distinguishes it from restrictions measured in finished products. | The Handweavers Guild of America's current resources page links a searchable affiliate-guild directory, a paid professional-member directory and fiber-art resource guide, book reviews, a public event calendar, scholarships, a quarterly member magazine, and program and store information for weaving, spinning, dyeing, and related fiber arts. | The guide cites current ISO body-table, size-designation, and garment-measurement boundaries plus two peer-reviewed studies that tested the relationship between conventional grade rules, anthropometric evidence, and garment fit; it requires product-specific target deltas and validation instead of publishing universal increments. |
