  5. Challenges Products • Complex products (150-1000 subcomponents) • Many suppliers & sales destinations • “Just” assembly manufacturer – tier 3/4/5 to raw material supplier => long way to full disclosure, “chemical knowledge”, MSDS etc. • No common framework (EU, USA, Asia) • National requirements difficult to implement (e.g. DK ban of 4 phthalates); difficult as a small player to put pressure on suppliers Legislation Information flow • No common list of requirements for “article” manufacturers (e.g. GADSL*) • No common database or flow of information (e.g. IMDS**) * GADSL = Global automotive declarable substance list; http://www.gadsl.org/ ** IMDS = International Material Data System; http://www.mdsystem.com/imdsnt/startpage/index.jsp Kemiens Dag, 21.
