Global List of Automotive Process Substance (GLAPS)

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.
