    v10 v11  
    1414We have a set_category() method which first eliminates excluded, prohibited and other possible categorisations including Listed set according to ''Circumstances'' defined by AICIS Rules and selected by the user and then tests for risk to determine Exempted, Reported or Assessed.
    1515
    16 If the risk is actually very-low, we might ignore REPORTED10KG and categorise as Exempted. The reasoning is that if REPORTED10KG is used AICIS would need to be notified in future if volumes increased beyond 10kg.

    18 However, an introducer would opt for REPORTED10KG simply to avoid having to obtain documentation potentially demanded by AICIS to prove the Exempted or Reported category. The boxes which do need to be ticked won't keep the chemical out of the Assessed category if it is reviewed pre-introduction and AICIS detect or suspect a medium to high risk.
     18However, an introducer would probably opt for REPORTED10KG simply to avoid having to obtain studies to prove an Exempted or Reported category.
    1919
    2020We need a mechanism for the user to opt for REPORTED10KG. See Ticket #36
    2121
    22 In any case, if the chemical fails the set of rules for <= 10kg then it will be Exempted, Reported or Assessed.
    23 
    24 This puts the new hierarchy of categories as:
    25 
    26 1. Exempted - very low risk
    27 2. Reported <= 10kg - low risk
    28 3. Reported - low risk
    29 4. Assessed - medium to high risk
    30 
     22In any case, if the chemical fails any of the set of rules for <= 10kg then it will be Exempted, Reported or Assessed.

    42         For these three we need a new method which simply returns True if any of GHS hazards H340 or H341 or H350 or H351 or H360 or H361 are attached to the chemical. See ticket #37.
     32        For these three we need a new method which simply returns True if any of GHS hazards H340 or H341 or H350 or H351 or H360 or H361 are attached to the chemical. Likewise for PBT. See ticket #37.
    4333
    4434    If used in a cosmetic, it must not be prohibited or restricted in cosmetics by EU or USA
     
    4636        For this we need a new ''is_banned_for_cosmetics()'' method which scans the index for a chemical (CAS and/or name and/or EC number) and if detected returns True if prohibited or restricted.
    4737
    48 There are chemicals on the EUR-Lex Cosmetics lists which are allowed with conditions. Some of those cosmetic conditions may concern AICIS when/if the chemical is listed on the Australian inventory, the listing may carry similar conditions. There are similar lists for the USA. See Ticket #34
     38        There are chemicals on the EUR-Lex Cosmetics lists which are allowed with conditions. That means they are not banned by AICIS for REPORTED10KG.
     39
     40        As an aside, some of those cosmetic conditions may concern AICIS. When/if they list the chemical on the Australian inventory, the listing may carry similar conditions. See Ticket #34

    6456        We do need a ''has_fluorine()'' method which returns True if the molecular formula has a symbol 'F' or there is 'fluo' in the names. Returning False means it is not known to contain Fluorine. See Ticket #32.
