Substance Rating Requirement Detail
All substances listed on The GADSL is located on www.gadsl.org
the GADSL are
declarable in GMW3059.
All substances listed as
prohibited on the
GADSL are prohibited in
GMW3059.
GM Requirements IN ADDITION to the GADSL:
Acetaldehyde P>10 ppm Prohibition applies to passenger compartment materials only per
GMW14444 Code E. Homogeneous Materials less than 10 grams
are exempt.
Acetaldehyde is D for all parts per GADSL.
Test method: GMW15635.
Asbestos Minerals P for GM Brasil only Prohibition applies to GM Brasil only. (Asbestos fibers are P for all
See GADSL for GM Regions.)
threshold
Benzene See GADSL Prohibition applies to non-fuel applications only.
Chromium(VI)-Salt P for all applications For applications where the hexavalent chromium is not
leachable:
A maximum concentration of 1000 ppm by weight and per
homogeneous material shall be tolerated.
Test method: A reliable test for total chromium can be used to
determine that the application is hexavalent chromium free. Mass of
homogenous material can be determined by ISO 3892 or other
appropriate method.
For applications where the hexavalent chromium is leachable:
A maximum concentration of 0.1 µg/cm² per homogeneous material
shall be tolerated.
Test method: GMW3034 or DIN 50993-1 or ISO 3613

Formaldehyde P > 10 ppm Prohibition applies to passenger compartment materials only per
GMW14444 Code E. Homogeneous Materials less than 10 grams
are exempt.
Formaldehyde is D for all parts per GADSL.
Test method: GMW15635.
Lead and its compounds See GADSL Lead in solder in electronic circuit boards and other electrical
applications including lead in solder on glazing:
This category covers solder and component finishes used in
electrical and electronic components, and includes, but is not limited
to:
a. lead in solder used to connect the components to the circuit
board
b. lead in coatings on connector terminals and “pre-solder” of
wires and components prior to soldering, crimping, etc.
c. lead in solder for connection of components / devices within
a higher assembly (e.g., ASICs - Application Specific
Integrated Circuit, microprocessors, motors)

Prohibited for new and major vehicles (types) (including the

powertrain, whether new or carryover) starting Model Year 2011
