Formula information
- Status
- Specified
- Formula type
- Percentage
Formula
Products undergoing formal hazard assessment (%) = (number of products that underwent a formal hazard assessment / total number of products in the disclosed product population) × 100Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. This is a standalone percentage outcome with an explicit assessed-product numerator, product-population denominator and cited formal-assessment definition. The shortlisted generic assessment metrics do not share its product construct, life-cycle boundary or SASB-defined method.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
A | Products formally assessed | Number of products that underwent a formal hazard assessment as defined by SASB RT-CH-410b.2. | number of products |
T | Total products | Number of products in the disclosed reporting population. | number of products |
H | Formal hazard-assessment coverage | Percentage of products that underwent a qualifying formal hazard assessment. | percent |

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.

- Define the product population used as the denominator.
- Apply and identify the formal hazard-assessment definition in SASB RT-CH-410b.2.
- Disclose how assessment coverage addresses direct operations, downstream use and end-of-life phases.
- Disclose the reporting period and product-boundary basis.
Record-specific limitations
- The metric reports assessment coverage, not the severity, probability or outcome of identified hazards.
- Comparability depends on the reporting entity's product population and application of the formal hazard-assessment definition in SASB RT-CH-410b.2.
- The stated life-cycle boundary covers direct operations, downstream use and end-of-life phases.
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.
