Information on the form (Substance, Mixture or Article) and on the physical state under which the substance is made available in the supply chain should be entered here.
Note
This section concerns only Substances and therefore is not available in a Mixture dataset.
This section is a repeatable section.
Click the green Plus button
to open a new repeatable block. An empty block is now
ready to be filled in. Add a new repeatable block if it is necessary to
specify different forms in which the Substance is present in the supply
chain.
Set the confidentiality flag and regulatory purpose. For a description of these flags see chapter D.4.5.7 Flags used for filtering data.
Available as substance
Available as substance: Select the checkbox if the
Substance is available as such.
Substance in mixture
Substance in mixture: Select the checkbox if the
Substance is placed on the market as a Mixture (i.e. preparation).
Click the green Plus button
to open the second level repeatable block to enter
further information on the Mixture. An empty block is now ready to be filled
in.
Trade name of mixture: Insert the trade name of the
mixture (i.e. preparation).
Type of mixture: Enter a description of the Mixture
(e.g. granulate, paste, solution etc.).
Typical concentration: Insert the maximum content
and/or the range of the concentration of the Substance in the mixture, as
made available to downstream users. If the Substance is part of more than
one Mixture, add as many repeatable blocks as necessary.
Substance in article
Substance in article: Select the checkbox if the
substance is part of an article.
Note
The definition of an article may differ depending on the regulatory
programme. Under the REACH regulation, the article is "an object which
during production is given a special shape, surface or design which
determines its function to a greater degree than does its chemical
composition." Click the green Plus button
to open the second level repeatable block to enter
further information on the article. An empty block is now ready to be
filled in. If the Substance is part of more than one Article, add as many
repeatable blocks as necessary.
Description of article: Specify information on the
article, such as:
its function (the purpose of its use).
its shape (description of the object from a dimensional point of view - depth, width and hight).
its surface (outermost layer of the object).
its design (arrangement of the elements of design to best accomplish a particular purpose).
all other possible article identifiers.
Note
In the context of the REACH regulation, further information is available in the "Guidance on fulfilling the Requirements for articles". For more information see chapter A.4.1 Other technical manuals.
Amount
Tonnage: Insert the maximum content of the
concentration of the Substance in the article in tonnes.
Remarks: If necessary provide any additional
comments here.
