ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
FACILITIES, MATERIALS & SERVICES SUPPLIERS
Suppliers providing facilities, materials or services (Non-production suppliers) have the following environmental
requirements, which are an integral part of the Global Terms & Conditions of Ford's Purchase Orders:
ISO 14001
Manufacturing Sites – All Tier 1, Long Term Preferred Suppliers in a factory based business with manufacturing
sites including all OEM, Developmental and After Market locations that transform materials are required by these
Terms & Conditions to obtain third party ISO 14001 certification.
Non Manufacturing Sites - Supplier sites with significant environmental impact will also be expected to achieve
and maintain third party ISO 14001 certification. For select Q1–targeted suppliers, ISO 14001 is a mandatory
requirement to maintain Q1 or seek Q1 approval. For more information on Q1 see ISO 14001 FAQ's.
ISO 14001 Requirements - Are part of your Global Supplier Database (GSDB Online) profile. Check your profile
for all of your required standards. All suppliers are to visit GSDB Online to see their required standards or contact
your buyer.
SUBSTANCES OF CONCERN
Suppliers of non-dimensional materials to Ford must comply with the Restricted Substance Materials Standard.
There may be more aggressive requirements for specific regions. All chemical products must comply with
substance restrictions as specified in the standard and obtain Brand Toxicology clearance (for Ford clearance,
see Occupational and Environmental Health Sciences (OEHS) for more details). Environmentally related data
from production and products must be available in the local language to enable environmental assessments.
CHEMICAL LEGISLATION – REACH
Fulfilling obligations under Chemical Legislation – As per June 1, 2007 a new European
Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 concerning Registration Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals
"REACH" has entered into force. REACH affects all industries and requires immediate and ongoing
actions from OEMs and their suppliers globally. The legislation defines and includes substances,
preparation and articles. All suppliers, including their supply chain, are responsible for fulfilling
obligations set out under REACH. Each supplier is to ensure that the use and risk management
measures for FMC are included in the safety data sheets. Substances on the candidate list (SVHC)
shall be avoided as far as possible, otherwise FMC should be notified of their presence in the product.
For chemical products (substances and preparations) this is done through the Safety Data Sheet. For
articles, this is done through IMDS starting from beginning of 2009. Until 2009, suppliers need to send
information on presence of substances with CMR 1+2, PBT and vPvB > 0.1% per article to the REACH
coordinator for the affected FMC brand. For products purchased outside EU, the supplier is responsible
for taking the importer role (e.g. nominating an only representative).
If a product needs to be modified due to REACH, all affected purchasing departments shall
immediately be notified.
Suppliers are further obliged to adhere to any other similar legislation applicable in countries outside
EU.
