Restricted substance
A restricted substance is a chemical whose presence in a product is limited or banned by a regulation, usually expressed as a maximum concentration.
Where it appears in procurement
Limits are set per material or per product and differ between regulations. Evidence is a test report showing measured values below the limit.
Example
RoHS limits lead to 1,000 ppm per homogeneous material; EU 10/2011 limits BPA migration to 0.05 mg/kg of food.
In Complyra
The regulation dataset records restricted substances and limits where a regulation sets them, and the compliance check compares declared materials against them.
