List Regulated Substances

Explanation

This activity is used to list substances which are of specific environmental concerns due to government or customer regulations. Each substance must be specified with a threshold w/w (%) value. The threshold w/w (%) is the quotient between the weight of the regulated substance included in the analyzed part and the weight of the part itself. The threshold w/w (%) can however be defined as zero. This is useful when the knowledge about the weight of a regulated substance is inadequate because the containing the substance can be tracked and listed as non conforming.
