FAQ Material Health
What happens with my data during the material health assessment?
Can my data stay confidential?
What does the abc-x or ABC-X feedback mean?
A score of abc-x (lower case) is to specify a single chemical risk. When combining multiple chemicals into one homogeneous material, an ABC-X (capital cases) score will be assigned to the homogenous material. Generally, we only share the ABC-X rating of the overall material with our client. Your client does not get an insight in the abc-x ratings of specific chemicals.
a | No moderate or significant hazards identified for the chemical. This chemical is ideal from a human and environmental health perspective. |
b | No moderate or significant risks identified for the chemical. |
c | One or more moderate risks identified for the chemical. |
x | One or more significant risks identified for the chemical. |
A | No moderate or significant hazards identified for the material. This material is ideal from a human and environmental health perspective. |
B | No moderate or significant risks identified for the material. |
C | One or more moderate risks identified for the material. The material is still acceptable for use. |
X | One or more significant risks identified for the material. The optimization of the product requires phasing out this substance or material. |
GREY | This material cannot be fully assessed due to either lack of full material disclosure or lack of toxicity information for one or more substances. |
What if I am unable to map out my materials?
Please let us know how far you can map your materials ≧ 100 ppm (0.01%). We might consider contacting your suppliers. Or it might be that we can work with the available data up to the specific certification level we are aiming for at this moment.
