The Global List of Automotive Process Substances (GLAPS) is an industry initiative for the automotive sector. Developed by the Automotive Process Substance Group, it standardizes the reporting of chemicals used during manufacturing processes—such as cleaning agents or lubricants—that are not intended to remain in the final product.
GLAPS aims to streamline communication, enhance risk management for environmental and safety concerns, and aid in regulatory compliance regarding the use and discharge of these process chemicals, distinguishing itself from GADSL which focuses on substances in the final product.
Providing specialized support to help businesses understand GLAPS requirements and embed them effectively into production workflows and supply chain operations.
Assisting in the detection, classification, and documentation of chemical substances used in manufacturing—such as lubricants, solvents, adhesives, coolants, and cleaning agents—that are subject to GLAPS regulations.
Helping gather, verify, and report the necessary information for GLAPS submissions, in accordance with industry-specific data formats and expectations.
Establishing efficient communication channels and data-sharing practices with suppliers to ensure transparency around the chemicals they supply or recommend for use.
Correlating GLAPS data with other applicable chemical regulations, including local environmental authorizations and occupational safety standards.
Delivering training sessions and workshops to equip internal teams with the knowledge and tools needed to comply with GLAPS requirements and manage process substances responsibly.
