RESTRICTED SUBSTANCES POLICY

>> Thursday 3 October 2013


Good leather Tannery (An ISO 14001:2004 Certified Company) is committed to fair and sustainable business and pursuit of continual improvement. The company will utilize these criteria in selecting suppliers of materials used in the manufacture of our product lines and will rigidly test and monitor our end product to ensure that it meets the needs of legislative, our customers and the sustainability goals of our company.                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
Good Leather Tannery strives to partner with competent, reliable suppliers including hide, skin and leather that can provide materials that are free from, or are within, permissible levels of restricted                        substances.                                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                               
Suppliers to Good Leather Tannery will be required to supply all pertinent materials Safety Data Sheets for the safe handling of their products. Producers of chemicals which  may contain one or  more restricted substances,  or  which have  the  possibility  of reaction or cleavage to one or more of the restricted substances listed in table must  supply documentation  certifying the absence from, or  percentage content of, that restricted substance within their product.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
Good Leather Tannery will undertake independent, third party (NABL accredited) testing once in a year each of our major product lines for conformance to the restricted substances limits set out in TABLE 1.Testing will also be undertaken if a new component is substituted or introduced. A major product line is defined as one which constitutes more than 25% of the output of the facility. In the event that a customer requires its purchases from Good Leather Tannery to conform to more stringent limits, to a more stringent testing regime or to be tested for additional restricted substances, Good Leather Tannery will test in accordance with the requirements for that customer.                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
In the event that a test sample indicates a non-conforming quantity of a restricted substance being present in a product line Good Leather Tannery pledges to withdraw the product line from the supply chain and inform affected parties if the product has already been shipped.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

The details of the policy will be communicated to all existing customers, changes in the policy being communicated to them based on once in every six months review. The policy will be communicated to all potential suppliers and customers through Email and attachment to purchase order prior to the initial order being accepted.
