Interpretation of reporting threshold for declarable substances and declarable substance groups

For most of the declarable substance and declarable substance group entries in the IEC 62474 database, the reporting threshold is based on the mass percent of the product. This is represented by a reporting threshold that is listed as “0.1 mass%”. The reference to the mass of the product that is declared is implied in this threshold. However, there are other many declarable substances and declarable substance groups that have a reporting threshold that has a different calculation basis. The EU RoHS declarable substance groups are examples that use the mass of the homogeneous material as the basis for calculation.
