Global Automotive Declarable Substance List(GADSL)

The Global Automotive Declarable Substance List (GADSL) is a centralized, industry- developed list of chemicals that, if found in materials and parts supplied to the automotive industry, need to be disclosed. It was created collaboratively by significant automakers and suppliers, with the main goal being to standardize communication regarding compounds of concern across the worldwide automotive supply chain.

In addition to supporting end-of- life vehicle management, GADSL assists businesses in managing material content and facilitating compliance with various standards, such as REACH and ELV. Notably, GADSL is updated frequently and is largely a declarable list rather than just a prohibition list.
