1 OBJECTIVE

This document outlines the minimum environmental and health of workers requirements applicable to all
Astrium suppliers established inside or outside the European Economic Area.
The document is made up of the text here-below and appendix A, which is a Declaration form to be used for
all Astrium’s procurements in all business units.

2 SCOPE

This document applies to all suppliers of Astrium SAS, Astrium Ltd and Astrium GmbH, for their three
business units Satellites, Space Transportation and Services (hereafter “Astrium”).

3 REQUIREMENTS FOR SUPPLIERS

The compliance of Astrium’s suppliers with environmental and health of workers legislation have a key
impact on Astrium's overall compliance and must therefore be built in the procurement process.
Therefore, each supplier shall enforce appropriately onto itself and its own suppliers the following
requirements, taking into account the specifics of each procurement:

REQUIREMENT 1: GENERAL COMPLIANCE

Products and services supplied to Astrium shall comply with all applicable laws, in particular those relating to
the protection of the environment and to the health of workers. Compliance shall extend to provisions of
environmental law pertaining to products becoming waste at the end of their life cycle.
Suppliers shall be able to demonstrate their compliance to Astrium for past, current and future deliveries at
all times.
Suppliers shall provide accurate and complete information in relation to their activities and supplied goods
and services, in order to enable Astrium to manage its own environmental and health of workers compliance
throughout the supply chain.
In case a piece of legislation provides for an exemption in the interests of defence or space industries (such
as EC Directives 2002/95/EC on the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances), suppliers shall
disregard that exemption or any opportunity to petition for such an exemption, unless otherwise explicitly
stated by Astrium (like for the forbidden use of pure tin material).
Suppliers shall enforce the requirements, as set forth in the present document, vis à vis their own suppliers
at all levels in the supply chain, and shall demonstrate it when requested.

REQUIREMENT 2: COMPLIANCE WITH CHEMICALS LEGISLATION

2.1.- Suppliers shall maintain a permanent knowledge of chemicals legislation, as interpreted with European
Chemicals Agency’s (ECHA) guidance, and shall be able to demonstrate how the goods or services
provided to Astrium comply with chemicals legislation, taking into account Astrium’s specific uses of
substances and preparations.
2.2.- Suppliers, including chemicals producers, distributors, importers to Astrium, shall work with Astrium to
help Astrium fulfil its obligation under the chemicals legislation, as interpreted with ECHA’s guidance.

2.3.- For all articles†, suppliers shall provide Astrium with the duly completed and updated Appendix A
"Declaration Form". This Declaration Form shall be provided at first delivery, when there is a change in the
product, or when there is a change in Candidate List. If a procurement consists of several different products,
or similar products with different configurations, a Declaration Form must be completed by the supplier and
provided to Astrium for each article assembled in each type or configuration of product.
For existing articles – i.e. not redesigned as foreseen in Requirement 5 - delivered as such or assembled
into products / sub-assembly and containing one substance on the Candidate List to annex XIV of REACH‡,
suppliers shall provide Astrium with a completed and updated Appendix A "Declaration Form" with:
- the names, CAS numbers and weights of each such substance contained in the article,
- adequate data and advice to allow for a safe use of the article, until and including the waste stage of
the article.
2.4.- For all substances and preparations, suppliers shall provide Astrium with the appropriate Safety Data
Sheet (SDS), should a SDS be required by chemicals legislation. Should the SDS be modified within 12
months after any delivery to Astrium, suppliers shall provide an update of the SDS, and in particular
registration and safe use, at no cost to Astrium.
Classification and Labelling shall be in accordance to the provisions and timeframe of the CLP European
Regulation (Classification, Labelling, Packaging).
Upon Astrium’s request, suppliers shall provide Astrium with the evidence required by REACH and
necessary to allow for Astrium’s uses of substances or preparations incorporated into the products and
services delivered to Astrium.
Upon Astrium’s request, suppliers shall provide Astrium with all necessary data to Astrium for the fulfilment
of its own obligations under REACH.
2.5.- Data about registration of substances shall be cascaded up the supply chain. Astrium’s specific uses of
substances and preparations, if any, shall be flown down the supply chain, unless stated otherwise under a
confidentiality agreement, and shall be properly identified in Safety Data Sheet provided by chemicals
suppliers.
2.6.- Suppliers shall immediately disclose to Astrium data about new environmental or health risks or
hazards of substances or preparations incorporated into goods or services delivered to Astrium, or an
aggravation of known risks, relevant for Astrium’s uses of theses substances or preparations.
Especially, suppliers shall immediately disclose to Astrium:
• information about whether an authorisation for a substance incorporated into goods or services
delivered or to be delivered to Astrium has been requested, granted or refused;
• new restrictions of use for substances.
2.7.- Any expected change of the chemical composition of goods to be delivered shall be notified to Astrium
as soon as contemplated, and decision of the relevant further actions shall be taken as per the provisions of
the Contract and the applicable documents.
2.8.- Suppliers not established in the European Economic Area shall appoint an Only Representative (as
defined by article 8 of REACH) to fulfil the obligations befalling on importers of substances on their own, in
preparations or in articles, as set forth in REACH.

REQUIREMENT 3: CONTINUITY OF SUPPLY

legislation, pursuant to the protection of the environment or the health of workers, be susceptible to disrupt
the delivery of a product or service to Astrium, suppliers shall immediately inform Astrium thereof and shall
propose alternative solutions to ensure the continuity of supply of the product and/or service to Astrium in
compliance with the new, modified or foreseeable legislation.
