Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement - Minimizing Use of Materials Containing Hexavalent Chromium (US Defense Acquisition Regulations System Regulation) (DARS) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement - Minimizing Use of Materials Containing Hexavalent Chromium (US Defense Acquisition Regulations System Regulation) (DARS) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement the requirements for minimizing the use of materials containing hexavalent chromium in items acquired by DoD (deliverables and construction materials hereafter referred to as deliverables). Hexavalent chromium is a chemical that has been used in numerous DoD weapons systems and platforms due to its corrosion protection properties. However, hexavalent chromium is a known carcinogen. This rule codifies a DoD policy for addressing the serious human health and environmental risks related to the use of hexavalent chromium. The rule prohibits the delivery of items containing more than 0.1 percent by weight hexavalent chromium in any homogeneous material under DoD contracts unless there is no acceptable alternative to the use of hexavalent chromium.
