Report calculations for Restricted Substances analysis and reporting

The first stage of the Restricted Substances analysis expands the BoM to substance level, using data retrieved from the database, to include all materials, specifications, coatings, and substances in the BoM. Report calculations are carried out on this fully-expanded BoM.

Note: The expanded BoM does not include specifications that are departures, supersessions, or equivalences, but does include specifications that are referenced by a specification in the BoM (these are linked via the tabular attribute Specifications in this specification).
Analysis reports on various aspects of product compliance, EU REACH reporting, and substance risk can be viewed in BoM Analyzer, MI Explore, and MI Viewer.
  • You can run reports that analyze the relationships between at-risk substances, materials, specifications, and product structures in your Granta MI database.
  • In BoM Analyzer, you can also run reports on Bills of Materials that have been exported from a CAD application using MI Materials Gateway, or opened from your Granta MI database.
Tip: To check which version of MI Restricted Substances you are using, view any report and look at the first page. The version number is shown in the report header.
Granta MI Restricted Substances provides two types of analysis.
Record analysis

You can use MI Viewer and Explore to run searches and queries on Restricted Substances data in your database – for example, to find out which substances are impacted by a given legislation or list. You can also run Record List reports to analyze the links between substances, materials, specifications, and products and parts in your database.

Record List reports can be run on a single record (in MI Viewer, Explore, and BoM Analyzer), or on a list of records (in MI Viewer and Explore). The output is in Microsoft Excel format.

The MI Restricted Substances package includes the following Record List reports:
  • Substances to Specifications
  • Substances to Materials
  • Materials to Specifications
  • Substances to Products
  • Materials to Products
  • Components to Products
For more information about each of these reports, see Reports for Restricted Substances.
BoM Analysis

In BoM Analyzer, you can run BoM reports on Bills of Materials – for example, for product compliance and regulatory reporting, or to support early-stage design for compliance.

  • The Product Compliance report analyzes the constituents of a Bill of Materials to substance level, and shows compliance of subassemblies, parts, and materials with EU REACH SVHC, China RoHS, EU RoHS, and other indicators.
  • Two EU REACH Article 33 reports analyze SVHC content and EU REACH reporting obligations for a BoM, in accordance with CJEU judgment C-106/14. These two reports use the same analysis methodology, but show different levels of detail:
    • The EU REACH Article 33 Declaration report shows the minimum information required for an EU REACH Article 33 Declaration, by listing any SVHCs that may be present at greater than 0.1% (by weight) in any constituent article within the assembly.
    • The EU REACH Article 33 Declaration Details report shows where any SVHCs that exceed 0.1% (by weight) in any constituent article of the assembly are located in the BoM - specifically, in which part, material, coating, or specification, and at what percentage (by weight).
