Declaration of contents, BVB’s declaration requirements, 2016-1
A complete declaration of contents in accordance with the instructions should be made for both
products and chemical products. For products, concentrations have to be reported as a weight% for
the entire product as minimum. The contents can be provided in other documentation, if the reporting
instructions are complied with, or alternatively supplemented so that they are in compliance.
Reporting requirements for the Accepted level correspond to the requirements for “e-BVD2015”.
For the Accepted and Recommended levels, classified substances are needed to be reported in the
documentation if concentrations exceed limits (weight%) in accordance with
Table 5, Classified
substances.
Those substances that are not included in Table 5 must be reported when concentrations
of ≥2% occur.
Material and substance contains can be provided in intervals. Examples of accepted intervals are:
≤1%, 1-2.5%, 2.5-10%, 10-25%, 25-50%, 50-75%, 75-100%. In occasion of large intervals, state
the reason for the variance and describe what materials/substances increase or decrease in proportion
if the product, for example, comes in different sizes.
If classification is applied that is not covered by harmonized classification, this information requires to
be reported in the comments column for that substance.
