Danfoss Negative List
of Chemicals
October 2012
Danfoss’ Negative List bans or restricts the use of
chemical substances in Danfoss’ products and production processes and by Danfoss’ suppliers, contractors
and tenants.
If new substances are put on the Negative List, all suppliers and subcontractors must ensure that the new
substance is removed from products delivered to
Danfoss within a time period not exceeding one year.
This Negative List shall be complied with throughout
the entire Danfoss Group and by all tenants, suppliers
and contractors working on Danfoss premises or supplying parts and materials to Danfoss.
Requirements for tenants and their suppliers
Contractors, tenants or their suppliers working on
Danfoss’ owned property must not bring substances
listed on the Negative List onto Danfoss premises.
Requirements for suppliers and contractors
Suppliers and subcontractors to Danfoss are required
to comply with the Negative List and shall on request
be able to document the type and amount of any hazardous substances present in materials, subassemblies
or components and used in processes.
Keep up to date with changes to the Negative List
All suppliers, subcontractors, contractors, tenants or
their suppliers working on Danfoss’ owned property
are responsible for keeping themselves updated with
the current version of the Negative List.
Suppliers and subcontractors must not supply products, components or materials to Danfoss containing
substances listed on the Negative List.
Suppliers and subcontractors must not use any chemicals listed on the Negative List in processes manufacturing parts for Danfoss.
The Danfoss Negative List in force at any given time is
available on:
http://www.danfoss.com/AboutUs/Corporate+Citizens
hip/NegativeList.htm.
All suppliers, subcontractors, contractors and tenants
shall register themselves on the above webpage as
recipient of updates to the Danfoss Negative List and
remain registered for the term of the co-operation.

batteries).
Mainly used as a dye in writing inks. May be referred to as Solvent Violet 8, although the
Color Index and CAS registry numbers do not necessarily match. Solvent Violet 8 is used in
inks (including ballpoint pens and printer cartridges) and dyes. It may be used to color a
variety of materials such as soaps, oil and fat products, paper, wood, packaging, leather,
candles, rubber. It may also be used in black dyes to color polyacrylonitrile materials. It
may be used in R&R / analytical / diagnostic applications and as an anti-allergen and
bactericide.
Main application is tin-lead electroplating on printed circuit boards. This application is in
decline owing to the restrictions on lead in electrical products as regulated in the EU by
RoHS (2011/65/EU).
