GADSL Management
GADSL is managed by the Global Automotive Stakeholder Group. This group makes decisions
on substances in a transparent way in accordance with the globally agreed criteria. The GADSL
will be updated and published annually in February according to improved knowledge in order to
achieve a high standard of product safety and environmental protection. At the latest, 12 months
after the publication date, any declaration should be performed according to this updated version.
However, in special cases (e.g. REACH, ELV, EPA TSCA, etc.) an intermediate update might
be required. All changes must be documented by the submission of a dossier. Any stakeholder in
the automotive supply chain can submit proposals for new entries or changes in GADSL. Every
request has to be submitted using the GADSL dossier template via the appropriate Regional or
Country contact of the Global Automotive Stakeholders Group (GASG) prior to July 15 each
year (see GADSL contact list).
