A Regulation ID can be used to analyze parts against a list of regulated substances of specific environmental concerns in order to identify non-conforming parts based on their specified threshold levels. Parts can be analyzed even without any knowledge about the weight of an included substance and regulated substances can be listed with a zero threshold to find all parts that contain the regulated substance.
Upon analysis, the parts that violate the specified regulations will be shown as non-conforming parts, along with the top parts or end items they belong to. You can also study the material declaration quality of sub-parts included in a non-conforming top part in order to get an understanding of the reliability of the available information for the regulated substances.
For parts with long lifecycles, it may be necessary to save revisions of a specific regulation, since the characteristic of the part could be changed during its lifecycle and/or government regulations could be changed or updated. In order to handle these kinds of changes over time and to be able to follow-up, you can create revisions of a specific regulation Id.
In some cases, only a specific part or a selection of parts may be of interest, and hence it is unnecessary to execute the analysis for all parts. If you have a huge number of parts in your database, then you can choose which parts to include in the analysis in order to get improved performance and quicker response time. You can also control which part revision to analyze by selecting an effective date within the time range when the revision in focus was phased in/released.
You can also link parts directly to a regulation and define if they are compliant or not without having to do a substance threshold analysis.
