The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has released the Heavy Equipment Declarable Substance List, a comprehensive resource to help off-road equipment manufacturers keep track of chemicals of concern, maintain data visibility across their supply chains, and contribute to overall industry compliance. AEM collaborated with multiple association member companies to develop the resource.

According to AEM, by adopting a single list of known chemicals of concern, with agreed-upon threshold limits and clearly communicated reasoning, the off-road equipment industry can:

• help educate supply chains on the regulatory needs of their customers;
• simplify the reporting requests to which they need to respond; and
• mitigate the impact of regulations.

“The global regulatory landscape continues to grow larger and more complex, with the proliferation of new chemical substance regulations representing one of the largest hurdles for our industry,” said Jason Malcore, AEM’s senior director of safety and product leadership. “In this climate, successful companies will need to understand which chemicals are in their products by adopting robust data collection and information management strategies.”
