Material Specification General

GMW3059

Restricted and Reportable Substances for Parts

www.gadsl.org. Additional available at requirements to the GADSL list are contained in Table 1. All substances listed that are present in the component or product must be declared if the permitted limits are exceeded. Content limits are specified for all substances whether Prohibited (P) or just requiring Declaration (D). For amounts below this limit a declaration is not required. This percentage is to be calculated for the single material/surface treatment, not at the part or the assembly level. 3.1.1 If technical requirements make the use of Prohibited (P) substances absolutely necessary, a deviation from this specification must be agreed upon between the supplier and the responsible department at the purchaser. 3.1.2 With the exception of Allison Transmission (see Exceptions section 3.2.2), this specification requires the supplier to input the full material composition of their parts, including any GMW3059 substances, in the International Material Data System (IMDS, website: http://www.mdsystem.com). Reporting in IMDS will also fulfill the specific reporting requirements that are contained in GMW3059. 3.1.3 Detailed information on GM's IMDS requirements is available on the GM Supply Power website: http://www.gmsupplypower.com (from any Power-Section into / Library / General Information / Environmental Sourcing Information / IMDS/...). 3.2 Requirements on Delivery. Independent of this regulation, the supplier bears the responsibility for ensuring that the materials and components delivered meet the relevant legislations and regulations of the countries to which they are supplied. The requirements defined in this specification apply for all new and carry-over materials and components supplied, unless otherwise specified on the drawing. These requirements also apply to re-sourced or re-designed materials and components.

1 Scope
1.1 Material Description. This specification lists substances whose use in materials and components, in the interests of personnel and environmental safety, are either prohibited or limited. 1.1.1 These restrictions are based on existing legislation or self-imposed regulations. 1.1.2 The aim of this specification is to restrict/stop the usage of the substances listed, to facilitate compliance with current and future regulations. 1.1.3 For additional information on GMW3059, including electronic versions of forms, original version of Directive 2000/53/EC Annex II and all subsequent revisions, frequently asked questions and the exemption process, see the website www.gmw3059.com. 1.2 Typical Applications. This specification applies to materials and components specified by the purchaser and does include items where the design is held by the supplier, such as black-box items.

GM Requirements IN ADDITION to the GADSL:

Acetaldehyde P>10 ppm Prohibition applies to passenger compartment materials only per GMW14444 Code E. Homogeneous Materials less than 10 grams are exempt. Acetaldehyde is D for all parts per GADSL. Test method: GMW15635. Prohibition applies to GM Brasil only. (Asbestos fibers are P for all GM Regions.) Prohibition applies to non-fuel applications only. For applications where the hexavalent chromium is not leachable: A maximum concentration of 1000 ppm by weight and per homogeneous material shall be tolerated. Test method: A reliable test for total chromium can be used to determine that the application is hexavalent chromium free. Mass of homogenous material can be determined by ISO 3892 or other appropriate method. For applications where the hexavalent chromium is leachable: A maximum concentration of 0.1 g/cm per homogeneous material shall be tolerated. Test method: GMW3034 or DIN 50993-1 or ISO 3613 Prohibition applies to passenger compartment materials only per GMW14444 Code E. Homogeneous Materials less than 10 grams are exempt. Formaldehyde is D for all parts per GADSL. Test method: GMW15635. Lead in solder in electronic circuit boards and other electrical applications including lead in solder on glazing: This category covers solder and component finishes used in electrical and electronic components, and includes, but is not limited to: a. lead in solder used to connect the components to the circuit board b. lead in coatings on connector terminals and pre-solder of wires and components prior to soldering, crimping, etc. c. lead in solder for connection of components / devices within a higher assembly (e.g., ASICs - Application Specific Integrated Circuit, microprocessors, motors) Prohibited for new and major vehicles (types) (including the powertrain, whether new or carryover) starting Model Year 2011 except for vehicles (including Model Year 2011) type approved in the

EU before 31 December 2010. This includes all carryover or reuse parts from previous vehicle (types) as well. Prohibited for powertrain parts released for the first time starting Model Year 2012. Prohibited for all parts (except powertrain) released for the first time starting Model Year 2009. For applications where (non-lead solder) technical solutions do not exist: Suppliers are required to apply for waivers as soon as possible in order to document cases where non-lead solder is not achievable for their product. Reasons for non-conformance and a conformance plan with time line must be included in the application for waiver. Lead in Bearing Shells and Bushes for Engines, Transmissions and Air Conditioning Compressors: Prohibited MY 2011. Lead in all other applications: Prohibited for all other applications: Exemptions to Prohibition according to Directive 2000/53/EC Annex II. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH; PCAH), selected P starting MY 2010 Prohibition applies to Extender Oils and Extender Oils in Tyres. All other applications are declarable. See GADSL for substance list and threshold.

3.2.1 Chemical Requirements. Questions regarding the presence of these substances can be resolved by using the test method listed or by any appropriate accepted analytical method. 3.2.2 Exceptions. 3.2.2.1 Allison Transmission has several automotive customers (including GMNA vehicle operations) and the U.S. military. 3.2.2.1.1 GM requires submission via IMDS for the assemblies sent to the vehicle divisions. 3.2.2.1.2 The U.S. military prohibits entry of military information into databases that are out of the country. This prohibition includes information on the final assembly provided to the military, and can include information on the component parts. 3.2.2.1.3 If a supplier is sending military components to Allison, it is imperative that they contact Allison for direction on submission. 3.2.2.1.4 Suppliers of such military components are required to submit using the GMW3059 report form, not IMDS. 3.2.2.1.5 Contact information for Allison is on www.gmw3059.com. 3.2.2.1.6 GMNA Allison Transmission suppliers must continue to submit Data Sheet 1 (Appendix A). October 2008

3.2.2.2 When using Data Sheets (Appendix A): The substances and the materials/components they are used in must be detailed if they contain substances listed in the GADSL or Table 1 in amounts exceeding the stated limits. If the substance is listed as Prohibited, P, prior approval and sign off of Appendix A is required by the department listed in the Contact list for the Unit the part is being supplied to. Otherwise, check the appropriate box and submit Appendix A as a declaration of compliance to the unit contact as listed in the Contact List.
