ii Restricted Substances List • July 2014

Introduction
LS&CO. is committed to conducting its business in an environmentally sustainable manner that protects
consumers, workers, the environment and the LS&CO. brands. We do so by building principally upon three
pillars: (1) the Restricted Substances List (RSL); (2) Environmental Sustainability; and (3) Worker Health and
Safety Requirements. These pillars, and all other requirements set out on LS&CO.’s website www.levi.com,
apply to all Suppliers as well as Sources in LS&CO.’s global supply chain. These terms are explained below and
in Appendix 2: Definitions. The balance of this document addresses LS&CO.’s RSL.
Please note that the RSL applies to all materials, parts, chemicals, components, packaging and other goods
(including sundries), that are sourced or supplied for direct or eventual use in products to be labeled and/or
distributed by LS&CO. This listing includes, but is not limited to, finished products, including apparel, non-
apparel, footwear, accessories, packaging and other products1. Throughout the remainder of this RSL, all such
materials, parts, chemicals, components, packaging and other goods (including sundries), will be referred to,
collectively, as "Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods".
Restricted Substances List

The objectives of the LS&CO. RSL (July 2014) are to:
(a) Ensure that Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods, used or supplied for the fabrication, manufacture or
processing of LS&CO. labeled and/or distributed products, comply with the applicable chemical content
and chemical exposure laws of every governmental jurisdiction in which those products are fabricated,
manufactured, processed or distributed; and
(b) Protect the health and safety of consumers and others handling LS&CO. labeled and/or distributed finished
products.
Application
LS&CO. requires that all Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods provided by Suppliers and Sources (as defined
on page iv) comply with the “Limit Value Final Product” (LVFP) levels specified in this RSL. To ensure finished
products meet the LVFP concentrations set out in Sections 1-3 of this RSL, Suppliers and Sources must
implement an appropriate program of testing and quality assurance.
In addition, Suppliers and Sources must ensure that the chemicals used or supplied in the manufacture of
LS&CO. labeled and/or distributed products are used in a manner consistent with Technical Data Sheet and any
other specifications and warnings provided by the chemical Supplier or Source.
The RSL is an important part of LS&CO.’s product stewardship and environmental sustainability programs,
and Suppliers must share the RSL with all Sources of all Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods supplied or
distributed to produce LS&CO. apparel, accessories and other products. Among other things, Suppliers are
responsible for ensuring that all Sources supply or otherwise deliver to Suppliers Materials, Chemicals and
Other Goods that are in compliance with (a) the prohibitions, limitations and other requirements described or
referred to in the RSL and (b) the applicable laws of every country and other jurisdictions in which they are to
be fabricated, manufactured, processed or distributed.

Using the RSL
The RSL contains four core sections: Restricted Substances List requirements (Sections 1 & 2), Obligation
to comply with REACh and All Other Governmental Requirements (Section 3), and Chemical Information Log
(Section 4). The appendices to the RSL (beginning at page 25) provide supplementary guidance to assist our
Suppliers, Sources and other business partners in understanding and complying with the RSL requirements.
We require our Suppliers, Sources and other business partners to study this document carefully, implement
management processes in their operations to comply with the RSL, and comply with the applicable legal
requirements of every country and other jurisdiction in which their Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods are
to be fabricated, manufactured, processed or distributed, as well as comply with all relevant contracts with
LS&CO. and its affiliates. We also obligate our Suppliers and Sources to communicate these requirements
to their relevant internal teams. This July 2014 RSL supersedes all prior versions of the RSL with respect to
products distributed during Season S-3 2015 and thereafter.
Throughout this document, references are made to Supplier(s) and Source(s). LS&CO. defines them for the
purposes of the July 2014 RSL as follows:
Supplier(s) are defined as factories and other businesses, including licensees, that contract with LS&CO. to
produce finished products, apparel, accessories and other products for LS&CO. Suppliers may also contract
with Sources for Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods for direct or eventual use in fabricating, manufacturing
or other processing of LS&CO. labeled and/or distributed apparel, accessories and other products.
Source(s) are defined as business partners of Suppliers that provide Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods for
direct or eventual use in fabricating, manufacturing or other processing of LS&CO. labeled and/or distributed
apparel, accessories, and other products.
For a glossary of other terms found in this July 2014 RSL, please see Appendix 2 on pages 26–27.
Suppliers’ and Sources' Commitment

Each Supplier or Source of Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods (a) to LS&CO., and (b) to any LS&CO.
contractor when the Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods will be used during the fabrication, manufacture
or other processing of a LS&CO. labeled and/or distributed product represents and warrants that each of its
Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods comply with all provisions of the RSL (including, but not limited to, the
RSL’s prohibitions, restrictions, other requirements and all applicable national and other legal requirements).
Supplier will defend, indemnify and hold LS&CO. harmless, against any allegation, claim, loss, damage, or
other detriment resulting from any such Supplier’s or Source’s non-compliance.
As a Supplier of LS&CO. products or raw materials for LS&CO. products, you are required to understand the
RSL product standards and deliver only compliant products. You are also responsible for seeking guidance
from LS&CO. in any situation where you may have doubts or uncertainties about your product’s compliance
with LS&CO.’s RSL. Compliance with LS&CO.’s RSL is a mandatory condition in satisfying each and every order
placed by LS&CO.

Section 1: Substances Which May Be Found in Some Apparel,
Accessories, and Other Products
Application
The prohibitions and restrictions listed in this section apply to all Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods
supplied for use in LS&CO. labeled and/or distributed products. Each Supplier and Source of Materials,
Chemicals and Other Goods—(a) to LS&CO. and (b) to any LS&CO. contractor when the Materials, Chemicals
and Other Goods will be used during the fabrication, manufacture, processing or distribution of a LS&CO.
labeled and/or distributed product, represents and warrants that each of its Materials, Chemicals and Other
Goods) complies with all provisions of the RSL (including, but not limited to, the RSL’s prohibitions, restrictions,
other requirements and all applicable legal requirements) and that the Supplier and Source will defend,
indemnify and hold LS&CO. harmless from any allegation, claim, liability, loss, damage, or other detriment,
resulting from any such Supplier’s non-compliance.
Purpose
LS&CO. is committed to upholding health and safety by producing safe products. This section identifies the
substances of primary interest to LS&CO. and presents those substances along with the corresponding
prohibitions or limitations. In addition, analytical test methods for use by the laboratory are given for each
substance. Testing for compliance with any edition of the RSL must be conducted by a laboratory approved in
advance by LS&CO.
LS&CO. may test Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods for the RSL listed substances. LS&CO. Suppliers and
Sources have a non-delegable duty to comply with the prohibitions, limitations, and other requirements of the
RSL. The presence of a substance on the RSL or on any previous RSL should not be interpreted as suggesting
that the substance is, or ever was, present in any LS&CO. labeled and/or distributed apparel, non-apparel,
footwear, accessories, packaging and other products.
Outline of LS&CO. RSL Prohibitions, Limitations, and Requirements

The prohibitions, restrictions and other requirements in the RSL are based, in part, on global legislation
regulating chemicals usage in the manufacturing and/or distribution of the types of products distributed
by LS&CO. The European Union has developed the “Regulation Concerning the Registration, Evaluation,
Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals” or REACh which is aimed at ensuring the protection of human
health and the environment from risks that might be posed by certain exposures to certain doses of specific
chemicals. Other countries have developed or are developing similar regulations, such as, but not limited
to, China, Canada, Mexico, Indonesia, Serbia, Vietnam and South Korea. In the United States, many states,
including, but not limited to, California, Illinois, Maine and Washington, have adopted laws regulating chemicals
in consumer products. These and other regulatory requirements were considered in preparing this edition of
the RSL.
Laws and regulations concerning substances are constantly changing as more scientific and other technical
information becomes generally accepted, leading to an enhanced understanding of chemicals and any potential
effects they might have at certain doses by certain routes of exposure on human health and the environment.
Accordingly, LS&CO. will endeavor to publish an updated RSL on a regular basis. That said, it remains the
responsibility of each Supplier and Source to identify and comply with all applicable requirements as set out in
this RSL, in REACh and the applicable laws of each country and other jurisdictions in which each Supplier and
Source conducts business and into which it ships Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods.

Section 3: Obligation to Comply with REACh and All Other
Governmental Requirements
While for convenience this section of the RSL discusses some of the requirements of REACh, the
obligation remains with Suppliers and Sources to identify and comply with all applicable requirements
as set out in REACh and by the applicable laws of each country and other jurisdictions in which each
Supplier and Source conducts business as well as each country into which each Supplier and Source
ships any Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods.
REACh: The European Union’s Regulation Concerning the Registration,

Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals
Application
This section applies to all Suppliers and Sources manufacturing or supplying Materials, Chemicals and Other
Goods for use in LS&CO. labeled and/or distributed products, including, but not limited to, apparel, non-
apparel, footwear, accessories, packaging and other products which are intended for distribution or sale in any
country within the European Economic Area.
Purpose
The information provided below is intended to assist our Suppliers and Sources to comply with REACh
[Regulation (EC) Number 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council]Every LS&CO. Supplier
and Source agree to inform LS&CO. of any substances listed in the candidate or pre-candidate list in European
Chemicals Agency (ECHA website: www.echa.europa.eu) present in any and all Materials, Chemicals and Other
Goods intended for use in any LS&CO. labeled and/or distributed apparel, non-apparel, footwear, accessories,
and other products. In supplying this information, LS&CO. does not intend to assume all or any part of our
Suppliers’ and/or Sources’ duty to comply with the regulation.
What Suppliers and Sources Should Do

All LS&CO. Suppliers and Sources shall visit the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) website (www.echa.
europa.eu) regularly and comply with the published obligations and guidance regarding chemicals and
consumer articles.
To help ensure that all products supplied to LS&CO. comply with REACh, each Supplier and Source is obligated
to track not only the current SVHCs, as listed on the ECHA website, but also the entire list of potential SVHCs51.
Suppliers and Sources shall map each step in their supply chains, including the sourcing and processing
of Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods ingredients, and immediately inform LS&CO. according to the
Information Duty (Article 33) of all cases where a substance listed in the "SVHC List or Candidate List or Pre-
candidate List" is present in the product or other Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods provided for use in any
LS&CO. labeled or distributed product. Additionally, authorization requirements in REACh regulation shall be
considered by any Suppliers or Sources situated in Europe.

51 Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) are defined as CMR 1, CMR 2, PBT or vPvB substances as given in the legal text of REACh, Annex XVII for
CMR, and on the European Chemicals Agency website, http://esis.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.php?PGM=pbt. The listing is inclusive of SVHCs, candidate
substances and pre-candidate substances, as defined below:
Candidate substances can be found at http://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table
Pre-candidate substances are found at http://echa.europa.eu/registry-of-current-svhc-intentions

Others
Other countries have developed or are developing similar laws and regulations, such as, but not limited
to, China, Canada, Mexico, Indonesia, Serbia, Vietnam and South Korea. In the United States, many states,
including, but not limited to, California, Illinois, Maine and Washington have adopted laws regulating chemicals
in consumer products. These and other regulatory requirements are incorporated into the RSL.
Lists of restricted substances are constantly changing as more information from scientists and health
professionals becomes available, leading to an enhanced understanding of chemicals and their effect on
human health and the environment. Accordingly, LS&CO. will endeavor to publish an updated list on a
regular basis. That said, it remains the responsibility of each Supplier and Source to identify and comply with
all applicable requirements as set out under these regulations / requirements by each country and other
jurisdictions in which each Supplier and Source conducts business and into which it ships any Materials,
Chemicals and Other Goods.

Section 4: Chemical Information Log
Application
LS&CO. Suppliers and Sources must communicate with their chemicals Sources about the LS&CO. RSL.
Suppliers and Sources must request a comprehensive Chemical Information Log from each and every chemical
Source. Chemical Sources must review LS&CO.’s RSL to determine which substance(s) in their preparations
(chemical mixtures), if any, has the potential to violate any provision of the applicable LS&CO. RSL if used in
Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods intended for use in any LS&CO. labeled and/or distributed apparel, non-
apparel, footwear, accessories, packaging and/or other product.
The CIL must be sent to LS&CO. by e-mail ([email protected]).
The CIL must be completed for each preparation used in the manufacture of any LS&CO. product. The CIL
includes 6 columns. The first column must be completed with the chemical trade name, as indicated on
product packaging documents, MSDS and label. For each preparation, the chemical supplier shall indicate
whether such chemical:
(1) contains an RSL substance, or
(2) may form an RSL substance during normal processing conditions.
When a preparation contains, or may form, an RSL substance in a concentration that could cause an LS&CO.
product to exceed corresponding RSL restrictions, the chemical Supplier must identify the RSL substance
and concentration on the CIL. The concentration set forth on the CIL must be the concentration of the RSL
substance in the chemical preparation.
Purpose
LS&CO. acknowledges that superior knowledge of specific chemical data may reside with the chemical Source.
It is therefore imperative to compliant product manufacturing that the chemical Source properly communicates
to their customer (the Supplier) the existence of any RSL listed substances in Materials, Chemicals and Other
Goods it furnishes to the Supplier.

Appendix 2: Definitions
Accessories—Products other than typical pants and shirts. Accessories can include both apparel
and non-apparel products such as belts, caps, shoes, handbags, gloves, socks, scarves, eyewear,
watches, home textile products, and wallets. The examples covered here are neither exhaustive nor
all inclusive; they simply provide examples of products defined as accessories. All accessories are
covered by LS&CO.’s RSL.
Allowable Trace (TR)—Identified by the TR designation in the Limit Value column. The trace amount
represents the permitted unavoidable trace presence of a substance that is allowed to be found on the
garment when the substance has been prohibited from use.
Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Number—A unique number that identifies a particular chemical
structure. While there may be various synonyms for a chemical and different naming conventions,
there is only one CAS number. Mixtures of chemicals do not have CAS numbers, only individual
chemical components have CAS numbers. When there is doubt about the chemical name used in the
RSL, always check the CAS number.
Children’s Products—An article which is designed for or intended primarily for use by children age 12
and under. All Girls size 0–16 and Boys size 8–20 are presumptively included within this definition of
children's products.
Concentration Limit—The concentration limit is set for each substance as measured on the final
product and represents the maximum allowable amount of the respective substance which can
be found in a RSL compliant product. The concentration limit is shown in the Limit Value column.
The limit is specified as the amount of the substance on the amount of substrate, by weight (e.g.,
milligrams substance per kilogram of product [mg/kg]). Concentration limits are applicable to any
single part of a garment or accessory, not an average over the whole product. If the limit is given for
a group of substance with various CAS numbers, the concentration should be calculated on basic
substance of the group generally given with its name in the name column.
For example, with regard to methylene diphenyl diisocyanates (with isomers, homologs, oligomers
and polymers), all MDI type isocyanates must be measured and calculated to the monomer
4,4’-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate). Another example is the metals which may be present in the
apparels in the form of several salts which are measured together and must be calculated as the
elemental metal content. On the other hand, sometimes the analytical method measures a substance
containing many chemicals. For example, measuring the tin content with ICP gives the summary
for the elemental tin content as well as several dialkyl tin carboxylates. In other cases the analytical
method gives results for a pure chemical which may be added to the product only as a component of a
mixture or a constituent of a substance, e.g. phthalates.
Detection Limit—Specifies the test method detection sensitivity that a laboratory must be able to
achieve when measuring the substance in the product.
LS&CO. Product(s)—LS&CO. final products covered by the RSL include all LS&CO. branded products,
including Levi’s®, Dockers®, dENiZEN™ and Signature by Levi Strauss & CO.™ products as well as
LS&CO distributed products. LS&CO. Products include those sourced directly by LS&CO., products
sourced by an agent, and those designed and sourced by our licensee partners.

Definitions (continued)
Non-Apparel Products—Products that are made from materials other than fabric or leather. Some
products included in non-apparel products are mobile phones, home furnishings, ties, hats, watches,
jewelry, eyewear, and electronics. All non-apparel products are covered by LS&CO.’s RSL.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)—Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC for short, is a hard plastic that may be found
in packaging materials, flashers, and screen printing. PVC is prohibited for use in packaging for
all LS&CO. products. Alternatives to PVC packaging include polyurethane (PU), polyethylene (PE),
and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). In addition, PVC screen printing, which utilizes phthalates, is
prohibited for products.
Preparation—A mixture or solution composed of two or more substances.
Reporting Limit (RL)—The lowest concentration the laboratory is allowed to report. If the laboratory
detects an amount of the substance below the RL, the laboratory report must state “Not Detected.”
Source(s)—Business partners of Suppliers that provide Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods for
direct or eventual use in fabricating, manufacturing or other processing of LS&CO. labeled and/or
distributed apparel, accessories, and other products.
Substance—A chemical element and its compounds in the natural state or obtained by any
manufacturing process, including any additive necessary to preserve its stability and any impurity
deriving from the process used but excluding any solvent which may be separated without affecting
the stability of the substance or changing its composition.
Sundries—Items that are permanently attached to the garment or footwear and may include zippers,
rivets, buttons, care labels, name labels, and tags.
Supplier(s)—Factories and other businesses, including licensees, that contract with LS&CO. to
produce finished products, apparel, accessories and other products for LS&CO. Suppliers may
also contract with Sources for Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods for direct or eventual use
in fabricating, manufacturing or other processing of LS&CO. labeled and/or distributed apparel,
accessories and other products.
Usage Ban—A prohibition of any use of the substance during any and all stages of product
manufacturing. However, the RSL identifies an allowable trace amount of some substances due to
unavoidable contamination.

Appendix 3: Product Testing & Data Management
Product Testing
LS&CO. currently maintains various product testing programs to validate RSL compliance. Notwithstanding
LS&CO.’s testing programs, the Suppliers and Sources are fully responsible for obtaining all necessary
knowledge and information required to understand and execute business processes that ensure RSL
compliance. The Suppliers and Sources are also responsible for performing analytical testing on Materials,
Chemicals and Other Goods to verify their compliance to all RSL requirements. The Suppliers and Sources
must test products only at LS&CO. approved laboratories (Appendix 6).
As a general matter, Materials, Chemicals and Other Goods should be tested as indicated in the following
tables. Table A provides general testing guidance based on material type. Table B provides general testing
guidance based on finish type; Table C provides general testing guidance for screen prints. Table D provides
general testing guidance for footwear material. Given the risk that a particular Source or Supplier might use
an unanticipated ingredient in the formulation, manufacture or processing of any given type of Materials,
Chemicals and Other Goods, these tables necessarily suggest, but do not definitively prescribe the tests
necessary to ensure compliance with the RSL. It is the Source’s and Supplier’s absolute and non-delegable duty
to ensure compliance with the RSL. Moreover, LS&CO. may at any time require additional testing to validate
compliance with the RSL. All costs associated with testing are the responsibility of the Suppliers and Sources.
