Building one product-, customer-, market-, facility-, and order-specific chemical-requirements record without treating an RSL, MRSL, formulation status, inventory report, or test result as complete proof
What the source establishes
The source-reviewed guide distinguishes law and customer requirements, finished-product RSL limits, manufacturing-input MRSL controls, commercial-formulation conformance, self-reported or verified facility inventory, material- and order-specific testing, connected worker-safety and environmental controls, and accountable release. It uses the current AFIRM RSL 2026, AAFA RSL Version 26, ZDHC MRSL 3.1 scope and Gateway guidance, Performance InCheck boundary, and current ZDHC supplier document-control route.
The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface.
What this record does not prove
The record is not legal advice, a complete legal or chemical inventory, an RSL or MRSL, a chemical hazard assessment, a facility verification, a laboratory test plan, a worker-safety or environmental assessment, a wastewater determination, a certificate, a product-compliance decision, a customer acceptance, or an order release. Requirements and evidence change by product, role, market, customer, material, colour, finish, formulation, facility, process, lot, claim, and date. Use qualified legal, regulatory, chemical, toxicology, laboratory, occupational-safety, environmental, sourcing, and customer review where the consequence warrants it.
A reachable official source can verify identity, stated scope, and access. It cannot silently become an audit of workmanship, delivery, labor conditions, or suitability for your project.
