Trusted by Automotive Manufacturers & Suppliers
The Global List of Automotive Process Substances (GLAPS) standardizes the reporting of chemicals used during manufacturing processes — like cleaning agents or lubricants — that aren't intended to remain in the final product. We help you identify, declare and manage these process substances, keeping every manufacturing site audit-ready.
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 streamlines communication, enhances risk management for environmental and safety concerns, and aids in regulatory compliance regarding the use and discharge of these process chemicals — distinguishing itself from GADSL, which focuses on substances in the final product.
Global PCCS partners with automotive manufacturers and suppliers to make GLAPS identification, declaration and supplier communication faster and audit-ready.

GLAPS (Global List of Automotive Process Substances) is an industry initiative developed by the Automotive Process Substance Group that standardizes the reporting of chemicals used in manufacturing processes, such as cleaning agents or lubricants, that aren't intended to remain in the final product.
GLAPS focuses on process substances — chemicals used during manufacturing that are not meant to remain in the finished part — while GADSL (Global Automotive Declarable Substance List) covers substances present in the final product itself.
Automotive manufacturers, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and process chemical suppliers whose manufacturing operations or supplied chemicals fall within the scope of GLAPS reporting.
Process chemicals such as lubricants, solvents, adhesives, coolants and cleaning agents used during manufacturing that are not intended to remain in the final automotive product.
Yes — we establish efficient communication channels and data-sharing practices with your suppliers to ensure transparency around the process chemicals they supply or recommend.
Yes. We deliver training sessions and workshops to equip internal teams with the knowledge and tools needed to comply with GLAPS and manage process substances responsibly.
