GREEN TO WEAR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS · V 1.2 INDITEX CHEMICAL CONTROL STRATEGY (Back to Index)

This document contains the methodology to control chemical products (dyes, pigments, and auxiliaries) used in the manufacturing of and leather garments. All dye mills, print mills, tanneries and washing units (hereinafter, wet facilities) must implement this procedure to guarantee their productions comply with Inditex standards. The use of this guide minimizes risk for most of the critical chemical substances included in Table 1 and 1.1.

On our website you will find mandatory standards for Product Health & Safety.

· Clear to Wear (CTW) · Safe to Wear & Metal Detection Policy

CAP.01 - INDITEX CHEMICAL CONTROL STRATEGY · GREEN TO WEAR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS · V 1.2 3 SELECTING THE RIGHT PRODUCTS FOR MANUFACTURING

Each lot of chemical products used in wet facilities must be checked before use. You can proceed with the manufacturing of a garment or fabric for INDITEX once chemical products are verified with at least one of the options below:

· Option 1 - The List by INDITEX: The use of chemical products pre-approved by INDITEX. · Option 2 - ZDHC Gateway Chemical Module. The use of chemical products registered in Module 3 of the Zero Discharge HazardousChemicals platform. · Option 3 - Chemical Testing: Detailed analysis of chemical products used.

In diagram 1 you will find the recommended flow for implementing this control.

CAP.01 - INDITEX CHEMICAL CONTROL STRATEGY · GREEN TO WEAR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS · V 1.2 5 SELECTING THE RIGHT PRODUCTS FOR MANUFACTURING

Option 1. The List by INDITEX

The List by INDITEX is a catalog of pre-approved chemical products for use in the textile and leather manufacturing processes. They are classified by their degree of compliance with different parameters of the INDITEX Restricted Substance List (RSL) and Manufacturing Restricted Substance List (MRSL). · A products: use without restriction. · B products: use with precaution. To assure compliance it is mandatory to perform an analysis for the first lot of production.1 · C products: banned for INDITEX production.

Option 2. ZDHC Chemical Module

If chemical products are not included in The List by INDITEX, they should be evaluated throughout the Level 3 of ZDHC Gateway Chemical Module.

· In case the chemical product does not belong to any of the Functional Descriptions in table 1 we consider there is no risk and it can be used without restriction. · In case the chemical belongs to one of these categories and it is not registered in the ZDHC Gateway Chemical Module, check option 3.

Please note that to get into the ZDHC Gateway Chemical Module you need to be registered. During registration process, please identify yourself as Inditex supplier. Information for Level 3 of ZDHC Gateway Chemical Module is also available by asking your chemical supplier directly for the corresponding ZDHC Chemcheck report.2

1. Manufacturing lot: all material produced at the same time, applying the same recipe and using the same chemicals and machinery. 2. An example of a “ZDHC Chemcheck report” is shown here.

CAP.01 - INDITEX CHEMICAL CONTROL STRATEGY · GREEN TO WEAR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS · V 1.2 6 Option 3. Chemical testing

The distributor of the chemicals should provide a test for each lot number. If the chemical products are not listed under any of the previous options. Table 1 and 1.1 must be used to identify the necessary testing parameters.

If the distributor does not provide this information, the facility must verify if the chemical product can be used in INDITEX production by checking the test results against the values of table 2: If results are below limits, the product can be used without restriction.

Important: Test results provided by chemical suppliers must be cross-checked by wet processing mills by testing 3 different lot numbers received during the year.

CAP.01 - INDITEX CHEMICAL CONTROL STRATEGY · GREEN TO WEAR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS · V 1.2 7 LABORATORIES FOR TESTING

Proper laboratory selection is important in order to obtain reliable results. For this reason, all laboratories must comply with either one of the following:

1. To have an ISO 17025 accreditation for the requested substance/parameter.

2. To be approved for the requested substance/parameter in the Inditex proposed laboratories list. In this Inditex proposed laboratory list, the laboratory approval must comply either one of the following:

ü To have good performance in correlation studies for the requested parameter/substance.

CAP.01 - INDITEX CHEMICAL CONTROL STRATEGY · GREEN TO WEAR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS · V 1.2 16 IN-HOUSE ANALYSIS DURING PRODUCTION CONTROLS (Back to Index)

To prevent any non-compliance issues in the early stages of the manufacturing process, there are some controls that can be done in-house in wet processing mills on a regular basis. This document explains these controls for pH and color fastness parameters. pH results should always be within the limits defined in CTW, with a margin of 0.5 pH unit. In pH tests, it is necessary to perform 3 measurements for textile or 2 measurements for leather products.

Color fastness results in should always be 0.5 units over the requirements of the CTW.

It is recommended to use ISO or GB test methods for the in-house analysis of these parameters.

Records of both pH and color fastness analysis must be saved for at least one year. Full traceability is expected with each manufacturing lot.

For color fastness analysis, both color change and color staining results are to be kept along with the test specimens.

CORRELATION OF IN-HOUSE ANALYSIS DURING PRODUCTIONS CONTROLS

To check the validity of these in-house pH and color fastness tests, once a month at least one internally tested sample need to be sent to an external testing laboratory to verify the correlation regardless the number of INDITEX purchase orders received.

The difference should not be more than 1.0 unit for pH and 0.5 unit for color fastness.

Important: Samples sent for correlation test need to be properly identified to ensure traceability with the related mill order.

Important: For external correlation test, you may choose one with ISO 17025, or one approved from the “Inditex proposed laboratories list”.

CAP.02 - IN-HOUSE ANALYSIS DURING PRODUCTION CONTROLS · GREEN TO WEAR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS · V 1.2 22 RECOMMENDED MANUFACTURING PRACTICES (Back to Index)

INDITEX recommends good manufacturing practices that prevent Clear to Wear non-compliances for its products:

DOCUMENTS Technical Data Sheets (TDS) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are documents that accompany every chemical product. Following the instructions of these documents are essential to ensure that the final product does not have any problems due to misuse of chemicals. All workers should have access to the instructions for every chemical registered in the inventory.

INVENTORY Detailed inventories per chemical agent should be maintained by lot numbers, TDS and SDS for each chemical, and purchase date. To minimize any risk, make sure chemicals that have been purchased first are consumed prior to any new arrivals.

TEXTILE PROCESS VARIABLES The conditions for fixation/curing process explained in the Technical Data Sheets (TDS) must be followed without exception.

Stenter and curing machinery are indispensable in order to perform curing/finishing and drying processes.

A proper control of time and temperature is crucial. Due to this, an automatic and real time reading equipment is recommended. If this were not possible thermocouples/temperature stripes/thermosensor device are accepted as alternatives for temperature control.

CAP.03 - RECOMMENDED MANUFACTURING PRACTICES · GREEN TO WEAR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS · V 1.2 23 CHEMICAL STORAGE Chemical products could change their properties and contaminate their surrounding area if not properly stored. Dyestuffs should be kept indoors, sealed, and avoid direct contact with floor and walls.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS TRACEABILITY For the correct traceability of INDITEX productions, internal orders should contain information regarding the final client (INDITEX brand) and their Clear to Wear classification when known (baby/children/adults).

Traceability is ensured when each recipe contains the lot production number for its corresponding purchase order.

RECOMENDATIONS FOR BABY PRODUCTIONS To prevent formaldehyde cross-contamination between Baby and other productions:

· Separating production lines for Baby from other running productions. · Pay special attention to the stenters, curing machinery and dryers. · Analyze formaldehyde in first production lot.
