Two-component products to be registered in the BASTA system are handled as follows:

Case 1: If the two components are only sold together as ONE product, these must be handled as a assembled article. The assessment must be based on the concentration of substances in the individual article, i.e. the assessment is not be based on the content in the assembled article. It is then the content of each component that must be assessed against the BASTA criteria. The product is registered as one article when registering in the BASTA system.

Case 2: If the two components are sold separately as DIFFERENT products, these are handled as two separate articles. The assessment is based on the concentration of substances in each product. It is then the content of each product that must be evaluated against the BASTA criteria. The components are registered as two different articles when registering in the BASTA system.
