Mark a Constituent as Exempt

Tip

Some chemicals (constituents) are exempt from regulatory registration under particular regulations.
There are regulation-specific options to indicate why a constituent is exempt, as well the option to add supporting documentation. Chemicals may only be exempt from registration under specific amounts (tonnage), so companies may still register if they require larger volumes.
Marking a constituent as exempt in Active Steward is reflected at the product level, making it easy to see the registration status of all constituents that make up that product.

1. 👆 Navigate to Constituents 👉 Select a Constituent from the list.

3. 👆 Click "EDIT".

4. 👆 Expand the "Exemptions" section.

5. 👆 Select an "Exemption Type".

A reason is required for the type chosen. The reason can be selected in the table below the "Exemption Claimed" field.

6. 👆 Select if the Exemption has been used or not.

A substance may be exempt, but a company may choose to not use the exemption and register it instead.

7. ✍️ Enter a comment if necessary, and 👆 click "Select Documents" to upload files that support the exemption.

8. 👆 Click "SAVE".

10. 👆 Navigate to the Regulatory tab.

11. 🥳 See that the registration status of the constituent is marked as exempt (under the same legislation as selected in step 2). The "Preregistration" and "Registration" columns are also marked with a blue tick.
