Notification Status
Definition
Value assignment type of value assignment category Listing. You can use the notification status to decide whether a substance may be exported to a certain country. The notification status specifies:
The TSCA list, for example, would be a regulatory list that could serve as a basis.
Most of these lists are positive lists, this means, they list substances (products, mixtures, preparations) that may be imported and traded. There are also some negative lists that contain substances with restrictions.
Use
The notification status is normally specified by individual legislatures for pure substances and must be derived from the specifications for products made of pure substances. The user exit Notification status was developed for this (see
Determining the Notification Status).If existing data is changed, you must check the notification status. The user exit Notification status was developed for this (see
Checking the Notification Status).
All values for the notification status given here are sample values only. The phrase set and the phrases containing these values are not delivered in the standard system.
Structure
In the standard property tree, the value assignment type Notification status is located under the node Regulations without transport. The value assignment type Notification status contains the following characteristics:
In this phrase-related characteristic, you can specify the legal basis on which notification has taken place.
This characteristic contains the regulatory lists that are used as the basis for the notification status. You define these regulatory lists in Customizing for Product Safety in the IMG activity Specify Regulatory Lists. In addition, you can maintain them in the Product Safety SAP component (see
In this characteristic, you can further specify the basis on which the most recent notification status was determined (such as version number or year of publication of a particular list).
List notification is a theoretical status that is derived from the notification of the pure substance or the notifications of all individual ingredients of compositions. Because the status is theoretical, there may be discrepancies between list notification and a substance's real notification status.
When the EH&S component determines the list notification of a composition, it takes into account all notifications of the nodes in the completely expanded composition tree. The system does not distinguish between specification categories. This means that a node can also be a specification of the specification type Real substance.
The value cannot be changed manually (see
The description List notification is derived from the fact that the nodes of a component tree are normally specifications of specifications type Listed substance.
Just like list notification, component notification is derived from the notification of the pure substance or the notifications of the ingredients of compositions. However, the ingredients containing compositions are not expanded any further. This means that the system only takes into account the notifications of ingredients (pure substances or compositions) on the first level.
When determining the component notification, EH&S for this reason only uses the notification status entered for the specification for the ingredient on the first level. It does not take into account the notification derived from the composition of this ingredient. This means that if you have manually set the notification status of an ingredient consisting of a composition, the component notification may be different to the list notification.
The component notification is only set automatically and cannot be changed manually. It is used for information purposes only.
This characteristic contains the notification status. You enter this value manually or adopt it after the SAP System has determined the notification status.
In the phrase set assigned, the sort sequence determines the priority of the individual values (see
The notification status you enter here is definitive and binding.
In this characteristic, you can make, for example, the following entries:
This characteristic contains the date on which a substance was registered with the relevant authority.
