If the concentration of one controlled or reportable substance is below the W18 reporting threshold, do suppliers need to report that data?
Section 5.1.2 of the W18 specification requires the reporting of “all controlled and reportable substances with concentrations in excess of the reporting thresholds noted in Appendix A.” For example, if the concentration of Chromium VI (Cr VI) compounds in one homogeneous material is 80 parts per million (ppm) and its reporting threshold in Appendix A is 100 ppm, then should the supplier enter “80 ppm” in the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) form? Or, can they choose to not report the Cr VI since it is below the required reporting threshold? The supplier is not required to report any levels below the reporting thresholds in Appendix A. However, if you do report the data, it will not have any negative effect on the compliance decision.
