Hello,
First time posting here! After reviewing Guidance on requirements for substances in articles, which provided by ECHA, I still feel confused on definition of article, complex object, and substance. I would like to confirm whether my understanding on the following micro switch is correct with photos as examples.
1. Picture1, The piece of micro switch (N272) is defined as ONE “complex object”, right?
The piece of micro switch (N272) is further broken down in Picture 2:
2. Plastic part of micro switch (N133a + N133b + N133c) is defined as ONE “article”, right?
3. Metal part of micro switch (N134a to N13f) is defined as ONE “article”, right?
4. The 10 individual parts separated from micro switch (i.e. N133a, N133b, N133c, N134a, N134b, N134c, N134d, N134e, N134f, N134g) is defined as TEN individual “article”, right?
All parts are labelled a number, the below table is the descriptions for each part.
N272 Multicolor plastic with silvery/ coppery metal (micro switch)
N133 Plastic part (micro switch)
N133a White plastic (case of micro switch)
N133b Black plastic (button of micro switch)
N133c Red plastic (button of micro switch)
N134 Metal part (micro switch)
N134a Silvery metal (contact 1 of micro switch)
N134b Silvery metal (contact 2 of micro switch)
N134c Silvery metal (contact 3 of micro switch)
N134d Coppery metal (contact 4 of micro switch)
N134e Silvery metal (terminal of micro switch)
N134f Silvery metal (terminal of micro switch)
N134g Silvery metal (rivet of micro switch)
