Testing According to GADSL Guidelines for Automotive

What is GADSL?

GADSL (Global Automotive Declarable Substance List) is a global reference list for the automotive industry that identifies chemicals to be declared, restricted, or prohibited in vehicle materials and components. It was developed to ensure that materials used in vehicle production meet chemical and environmental safety requirements, while simplifying communication across the supply chain.
