Entering Reference Values

Use

This procedure describes how you enter reference values for an agent that is a specification. You require reference values if, for example, you want to compare the amounts you determined in a work area with the reference values laid down for this agent within the scope of a risk assessment.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites must be fulfilled for you to be able to enter reference values:

  • The agent exists in specification management .

  • The value assignment typesin which the reference values are entered exist in Customizing for Basic Data and Tools .

  • The value assignment types must be assigned to the property tree that is used by Industrial Hygiene and Safety . For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Basic Data and Tools under Set Up Property Trees .

  • In Customizing for Industrial Hygiene and Safety under Specify Measurement Items , an entry must exist for each value assignment type specifying which value assignment type and characteristic the respective reference value is entered in.

    Caution Caution

    This last prerequisite does not apply for reference values you enter for the measurement management (EHS-IHS-MEM) component (see Which Value Assignment Types Does Measurement Management Require? ).

    End of the caution.

Procedure

  1. Start of the navigation path From theIndustrial Hygiene and Safety menu, chooseAgents Next navigation step Agent Workbench. End of the navigation path

  2. In the navigation area of the workbench, choose Agent by double-clicking.

  3. Enter your search criteria for the agent in the application area and choose with the quick info text Hit List . For more information on the search, see Specification Search .

  4. Open the required agent by double-clicking it. The property tree for this agent then appears in the detailed structure.

  5. Navigate to the property (value assignment type) in which you can store reference values as specified in Customizing and enter the required data.

  6. Save your entries.

Result

You have entered a reference value for an agent. This value is required by the system, for example, in the analysis method Measured Value-Reference Value Comparison or in the Amount Overview .
