Restricted Substances
Zoppas Industries Heating Elements Technologies, “ZIHET”, considers the protection of human health, the environment, and the integrity of our supply chain as fundamental pillars of its commercial success and social responsibility.
For this purpose, ZIHET has compiled the “ZIHET Restricted Material List“, ZIHET RML, which defines the Company’s position regarding chemical substance management.
The purpose of this Restricted Material List (RML) is to ensure compliance with global bans, restrictions on hazardous substances, and all applicable notification and reporting obligations. Furthermore, it serves to meet customers’ requirements, demonstrates ZIHET’s proactive commitment monitoring non-regulated substances and ensure the highest safety standards for both human health and the environment.
The RML provides suppliers with requirements on regulated substances and their compliance status in accordance with ZIHET requirements.
Substance classification
Substances listed in the RML are classified as:
| Category | Symbol | Definition |

| RESTRICTED | R | Substances that are restricted / prohibited from use |
| DECLARABLE | D | Substances whose presence must be declared if they exceed the thresholds indicated in Tables 1 and 2 and 3. When available, alternatives with no concern should be preferred. |
