Chemical Exclusion Statement

What it proves

A bounded claim that a named chemical or chemical family is not intentionally present or not detected under a stated scope.

That all chemicals of concern are absent.
That the claim is meaningful without a definition, threshold, scope, and method.

Minimum authority: Manufacturer declared
Should state: Chemical Family · Scope · Threshold · Test Method Or Attestation
Date sensitivity: Expiry is not the primary issue; check scope and method instead.

Chemical-exclusion claims are greenwashing-sensitive unless the definition, threshold, and scope are explicit.
