Microsoft Restricted Substances for Hardware Products Specification - H00594 (DOCX) - This document provides details about which substances are not allowed in our products, packaging, and supplier manufacturing operations. Microsoft restricted substances are identified based on a scientific approach and the precautionary principle. Where we have reasonable grounds for concern over a chemical’s potential for severe or irreversible damage to health or the environment, we believe actions should be taken to gather and assess additional data. Such investigations may lead to voluntary restrictions beyond legal requirements.

Restricted Substances Control System for Hardware Products - H00642 (DOCX) - This document contains the required documentation suppliers must provide to demonstrate their adherence to H00594. All suppliers are required to provide full material declarations and other documentation to ensure parts and products supplied to Microsoft meet the requirements of H00594. Having full material declarations allows us to respond swiftly if new concerns arise about any substance, or if the regulatory landscape expands beyond the current Microsoft substance restrictions in H00594.
