How to achieve RSL objectives?
• Classical version:
RSL conformity by means of
systematic analytical control on all levels
• Trust version
RSL conformity based on compliance declarations through the
whole global textile supply chain
statistical analytical control
• Integrated und sustainable version
RSL-conformity through implementaion of modern productund raw material approval systems during manufacturing
Responsibilty stays 100% within the supply chain
Modern Testing Services (Germany) GmbH
Pro and Contra
• Classical version:
Independency of supply chain
Practically no transparency in the case of failure
Raising costs and analytical challenges
Running out model
• Trust version
Favourite on the market at the moment
But, can we really trust the supply chain?
High risk for unneeded substance restrictions (to be on safe side)
Innovation
• Integrated and sustainable version
The clear concept future
Challenging, needs special know how about textile chemistry
Provides maximum of flexibility und transparency
