'At risk' or 'banned' are attributes of a component which is 'at risk' or 'banned' in specific markets of sale or for specific retailers and cannot be used in certain products. These can come from a country's legislation or from a retailer organisation's internal policies. For example:
- 'Oxodegradable Additives' are banned in France
- 'Photodegradable Additives' are banned in all products from 'Retailer A' due to their internal policies.
How do I know if the components used in my products are at risk or banned?
When a component is submitted or confirmed, e-halo will check:
- The retailer of the products that use the component
- The markets of sale of all the products that use the component
If the component has any attributes which are banned in either the markets of sale or by the retailer:
e-halo will not allow users to complete the task. The user will see a warning modal telling them what the ban is and the users will need to amend the component so that it's not banned before they can complete the task.
If the component has any attributes which are at risk in either the markets of sale or by the retailer:
e-halo will allow the component to be submitted. All risks will be detailed in the 'Compliance' tab under the 'Risks' section. You can see which products are affected by the risk. for example, if the attribute is at risk in France, only the products sold in France will be affected by it.
When a component with a risk is being 'confirmed':
- e-halo will display the risks in the 'approved' popup
- The component cannot be confirmed until the product supplier user accepts the risks by clicking on the 'Accept all risks' box.
Once accepted, the risks verdict will be displayed in the 'Compliance' tab of the component, under the 'Risks' section
How do I know if the components used in my Bills of Materials are at risk or banned?
The risks and/or bans of all components in a Bill of Materials are displayed in the the Bill of Materials' 'Compliance' tab and under the 'Component Compliance' section.
A Bill of Materials cannot be submitted if any of the components in it have banned attributes, ensuring retailers will never approve a Bill of Materials with a ban by mistake.
Before a Bill of Materials can be approved, the retailer user must confirm that they have reviewed and accept all risks by ticking the 'Accept' box.
