Display: Basic
Service life name / Text (255 char.)
Display: Basic / The name of the service life entry is intended to briefly describe the nature and scope of the activities with articles or buildings into which the substance has been incorporated. The name would usually refer to a group of articles. It would potentially also indicate a kind of activity with it. This also includes mixtures in their dried or cured form (e.g. Dried printing ink in newspapers; dried coatings on various surfaces) and mixtures contained into article. If an exposure assessment has been carried out, the use name forms the 'Exposure scenario name' in the relevant section where a link is made to this field 'Use name'.
Further description of use / Text (rich-text area)
Display: Basic / The service life name usually refers to a group of articles covered under this use. The current field enables a more detailed description of the range of articles covered. This may include examples of specific representative articles and a description of boundaries which articles are not covered. The description may also make reference to the categories to be assigned in Exposure related description of article or Article category (AC).
