Possible Red List Exceptions will be evaluated using the following evaluation process. Each Exception request will follow the flow chart and may not skip any steps during the evaluation process. All existing Red List Exceptions for LBC 4.0 and Declare 2.0 have been vetted using this evaluation process, and all future Exception requests will be held to this process.

Figure 13-2 Red List Exception Evaluation Flowchart

For products with a Red List ingredient that are not granted an Exception through this evaluation process, the project team must use the RL-001 General Red List Exception to use the product.
