DEFINITION
GADSL stands for the Global Automotive Declarable Substance List, a list of substances in products that require declaration or restriction, maintained by the automotive industry. It serves as a reference for material approvals and reporting, frequently in conjunction with IMDS.
DeclarationGADSL (Automotive)
The GADSL consolidates global requirements (including REACH/CLP, RoHS) for the automotive context and is updated regularly. OEMs require GADSL-compliant material data and declarable substances per part/material number in IMDS.
Practice: Establish IMDS workflows, substance list monitoring, and change management. Link GADSL with bills of materials (BOM), supplier declarations, and test plans to accelerate approvals and audits.
