Section 3: connect each ingredient to the correct raw material

Section 3 presents relevant composition information and must distinguish the chemical substance, the supplier product and its real concentration in the mixture.

01

Substance or mixture

The required structure depends on the product type.

02

Identifiers

CAS, EC and Index numbers must match the stated identity.

03

Concentration ranges

Ranges must represent the assessed formulation.

04

Ingredient classification

Use current source data and keep it separate from the mixture result.

05

Limits and factors

SCL, ATE and M-factors must be linked to the correct class and source.

In practice

Active-content example

A 35% commercial solution used at 5% does not automatically equal 5% pure substance; active content must be calculated.

Practical questions

Frequently asked questions

Must every ingredient be disclosed?

Disclosure follows applicable rules, while the complete formula remains necessary for assessment.

Is a broad range neutral?

No. It can change the classification outcome.

Does a general answer validate a specific product?

No. The actual composition, form, supplier data and intended use must be assessed.

Who should approve the result?

A competent person should review the data, method and internal consistency before supply.

Primary sources

Check the current consolidated version and the exact substance or product scope before use.

Turn knowledge into a process

Organise evidence before opening generation.

Prepare sources, formulations and review ownership in a separate English workspace.
