Reporting Hazardous Materials Data

About Hazardous Materials Reporting

CES provides reports that will help you effectively manage the requirements of product environmental regulations such as Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), as well as the design and manufacturability impacts resulting from the industry transition to lead-free components. These reports are generated using the ENOVIA Generate Reports functionality. Details about using the Generate Reports functionality is beyond the scope of this topic. For more information, please refer to VPM Navigator WEB Product Guide : User Tasks : Reporting.

Hazmat reports deals with the management of hazardous materials data, in the context of an Enovia Product.  Hazmat data is stored in the CES database with a leaf-level manufacturer item.  CES uses dbload or SIS to populate this data to CES. For more information on data population in CES refer to CES Enterprise Catalog Administration and Installation and CES Sourcing Hub.  Hazmat regulations are complex and evolving.  This is complicated by the volatile nature of the data.  Reports can change from one day to the next because new data was loaded.

Manufacturers can provide hazmat information in three ways:

  • Full disclosure - the manufacturer item suppliers identify all the materials used in their product along with quantities present. This would include all material added during the manufacturing process.
  • Partial disclosure - the manufacturer item supplier provides information only on the required hazardous materials. It is possible that if a product manufacturer does not seek the presence of a particular hazardous material in a component, the manufacturer item supplier will not volunteer that information.
  • None disclosure - the manufacturer item supplier does not provide information on the hazardous materials.

CES provides three types of Hazmat data reports:

  • Material Data Population - Detailed by Manufacturer Part report displays all the Manufacturer Parts entries for each leaf item on the Product. For each Manufacture part, this report displays the material disclosure status, material data source, and disclosure date.
  • Material Disclosure - Detailed by Manufacturer Part report displays the Manufacturer Parts in a Product, which contains any material information.
  • Manufacturability Data - Detailed by Manufacturer Part report is generated to report the manufacturability data. In this report, you can view manufacturability attributes like moisture sensitivity level, peak reflow temperature, terminal or contact finish, time at peak reflow temperature of all Manufacturer Parts for each leaf item in the Product.

For each of the three report types, you can chose to retrieve the data from CES or ENOVIA (PLM).

When Reporting Hazardous Materials Data

  • Manufacturer item and Hazmat data information will repeat in the report if same PLM part used in different levels in a PLM Product.
  • The ENOVIA V5 VPM database only indicates that a part is used within a product. It does not indicate how many times a part is used within the same product.  Therefore, you will not be able to view the total number of times a Part is used in the Product.
  • The Hazardous Materials Report Capability will be limited only to data contained in the out-of-box CES objects Internal Item, Manufacturer Item, Material and Specifications.  Customizable items, such as Pricing Data model, Alternates, Accessories, PLM profile, Notes, supplier item, companies, etc., will not be included in the reports' capabilities.
  • The PLM part selected for a report must be mapped to an Internal item.  This Internal item must also be mapped to a Manufacturer item containing hazmat data.

Accessing Hazardous Materials Reports

Hazardous Materials reports may be generated from PLM Parts, Products or Internal Items.  To access these objects, refer to Searching the Database.  The following templates are provided for Hazardous Materials reporting.  However, you may use these templates to create your own templates to provide customized data reports.  Refer to Managing Reporting in the System and Data Administration guide for instructions on custom report templates.

 
If you are reporting on... Then use template... Report results
PLM Part or Product PLM_Hazmat_Manufacturability_Data.xrpt Reports the manufacturability attributes (such as,  moisture sensitivity level, peak reflow temperature, terminal or contact finish, time at peak reflow temperature) of all Manufacturer Parts for each leaf item in the Product. This template is used when you want to get data from ENOVIA.
  PLM_Hazmat_Material_Data.xrpt Reports all the Manufacturer Parts entries for each leaf item on the Product. For each Manufacture part, it displays the material disclosure status, material data source, and disclosure date. This template is used when you want to get data from ENOVIA.
  PLM_Hazmat_Material_Disclosure.xrpt Reports the Manufacturer Parts in a Product, which contains any material information. This template is used when you want to get data from ENOVIA.
CES Internal Item CES_Hazmat_Manufacturability_Data.xrpt Reports the manufacturability attributes (such as,  moisture sensitivity level, peak reflow temperature, terminal or contact finish, time at peak reflow temperature) of all Manufacturer Parts for each leaf item in the Product. This template is used when you want to get data from CES. It will not have the PLM information.
  CES_Hazmat_Material_Data.xrpt Reports all the Manufacturer Parts entries for each leaf item on the Product. For each Manufacture part, it displays the material disclosure status, material data source, and disclosure date. This template is used when you want to get data from CES.
  CES_Hazmat_Material_Disclosure.xrpt Reports the Manufacturer Parts in a Product, which contains any material information. This template is used when you want to get data from CES
