Provider of solutions for a sustainable textile production, Bluesign, has revised its 2020 lists of chemical substances. The lists include toxicological and ecological profile of these substances, their legal classification and new legal consumer safety limits. The revision also includes revised risk assessments based on the Bluesign Critera for chemical assessment, feedback from experts of the Chemical Experts Group (CEG) as well as new analytical standards. It provides an updated list of restrictions on chemical substances published in: BSSL (Bluesign System Substances List); BSBL (Bluesign System Black Limits); and Bluesign RSL.

The BSBL specifies threshold limits for chemical substances in finished chemical products such as auxiliaries or dyes. The compilation of substances in the BSBL includes all substances for which a precautionary hazard-based threshold limit is defined.

The Bluesign RSL is an extract of the BSSL and contains consumer safety limits and recommended testing methods for the most important and legally restricted substances in textile and leather articles and accessories.
