Often foreign companies (from non-English speaking countries) invent their own internal language to mean something specific. And the translations are often so bad as to be incomprehensible to a native English speaker. I have no idea what this paragraph means. If you could explain it in better English, your question could be answered.(I`m a native English speaking lawyer).

For this purpose, a close enough definition is in special circumstances.
It is saying that a manufacturer can only use a listed substance if given an exception from the rule. And exceptions would only be given in special circumstances. The opposite is “on a routine basis” which means something that is done often and without special circumstances. An exception from a rule can be given on a routine basis, but in your paragraph they are saying that it would be allowed by the committee only on an exceptional basis.
