THE GSES system
Health Footprint
The pillar Health Footprint is connected to REACH and sector specific lists of restricted substances and LCA Toxicity results in the supply chain.
In the GSES HF tooling, the following indicators are measured and data is recorded:
- Manufacturer’s declaration that the product is compliant with REACH regulation, and with that explicity declares compliancy to the Candidate List of substances of very high concern for Authorisation
- Additional manufacturer declarations accoridng to EU regulations on
- Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) content
- Cadmium content
- Phthalates content
- SCCP (Short Chain Chlorinated Paraffins) content
- Pentachlorophenol (PCP) content
- Formaldehyde content in particle board
- Formaldehyde content in textiles
- Environmental impacts in supply chain on toxicities:
- Human toxicity, cancer
- Human toxicity, non-cancer
- Ecotoxicity, freshwater
