Formula
For each product type and applicable GHS hazard classification, report the sum of product quantities containing a relevant Category 1 or Category 2 substance during the reporting period.Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. The evidence specifies a quantity-of-products disclosure in tonnes, rather than revenue. It is distinct from hazardous-waste and substances-of-concern revenue metrics because its population is products containing specified GHS-classified substances, its required dimensions differ, and it covers stated lifecycle stages.

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

- Disclose the GHS classification basis and source used to identify Category 1 and Category 2 hazardous substances.
- Disclose the definition of product type and the mass basis used for reported quantities.
- Disclose the approach for products containing multiple relevant substances, health and environmental classifications, including any double-counting treatment.
- Disclose coverage and treatment of direct operations, downstream use and end-of-life stages.
Record-specific limitations
- GHS hazard classifications identify intrinsic hazards and do not alone measure exposure, releases, product use or realised human-health or environmental impacts.
- A product may contain more than one relevant substance or hazard classification; the allocation and double-counting treatment must be disclosed.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
