Stochiometric Analysis for Glass & Ceramics in IMDS

Overview

Heidi Wittenborn, Senior Environmental Consultant with RSJ Technical Consulting, discusses the changes in reporting glass, ceramic and enamel materials and how to use the stochiometric analysis to convert a list of ingredients - to the end state material, while still tracking any declarable substances on GADSL. For IMDS purposes, a stochiometric analysis is a breakdown of the percentages of individual elements present in the substances that make up a material. Many of these materials are still reported as a list of oxides. Since these materials are considered UVCB materials under REACH, IMDS developed a way to track declarable content while still reporting appropriately for UVCB materials.
