Nested Materials

IMPORTANT

Nested Materials is a new data array that supercedes Materials in version 2.2 and earlier.

Structure

Nested Materials exist as an array of NestedMaterial objects listed with the key of NestedMaterials and are structured as follows:

json
[ // Start of "NestedMaterials" array
  {
    "Name": "<string>",
    "Min": "<float>",
    "Max": "<float>",
    "AlternateOf": "<object|string>",
    "NoReportableSubstances": "<bool>",
    "Threshold": "<int>",
    "Residuals": "<string>",
    "ResidualNotes": "<string>",
    "Notes": "<string>",
    "MaterialType": "<string>",
    "Substances": "<array|string>",
    "Materials": "<array|string>",
    "Polymers": "<array|string>",
    "Locations": "<array|string>"
  },
  ...
]

Name

  • type: <string>
  • Nullable: false

Min

  • type: <float>
  • Nullable: false

Max

  • type: <float>
  • Nullable: true

AlternateOf

  • type: <object>
  • Nullable: true
  • related: NestedMaterial
  • default: null|string

CAUTION

AlternateOf for a Nested Material is now a reference to a primary Nested Material within the same Record.

NoReportableSubstances

  • type: <string>
  • Nullable: false

Threshold

  • type: <string>
  • Nullable: false

Residuals

  • type: <string>
  • Nullable: false

ResidualNotes

  • type: <string>
  • Nullable: false

Notes

  • type: <string>
  • Nullable: false

MaterialType

  • type: <string>
  • Nullable: true
  • default: null

Substances

  • type: array
  • Nullable: true
  • related: Substances
  • default: string

Materials

  • type: array
  • Nullable: true
  • related: Materials
  • default: string

Polymers

  • type: array
  • Nullable: true
  • related: Polymers
  • default: string

DANGER

Even though Substances, Materials and Polymers are marked as "not required" above, make sure you receive at least 1 of either. If none are present and the NoReportableSubstances prop is No, this is not a valid HPD.

Locations

  • type: array
  • Nullable: true
