Impacted substances API#
This section gives an overview of the API for impacted substances. The Material impacted substances, Specification impacted substances, and Part impacted substances queries (collectively referred to as record-based impacted substances queries) accept a list of references to records in a Granta MI database. These queries also consider any additional associated BoM items stored in Granta MI. For example, if the specified part record contains links to other parts and specifications, these are included in the analysis.
The BoM impacted substances BoM-based query accepts a Bill of Materials in XML format, which includes references to Granta MI records. As opposed to record-based queries, the BoM-based impacted substances analysis only considers items explicitly defined in the input BoM. It does not follow links to other BoM items as in the record-based queries described previously.
In both cases, impacted substances are determined by a list of legislations, identified by legislation ID.
These queries do not take the quantity of the substance in the parent item into consideration. If the quantity is important, for example to determine compliance against a legislation that imposes a certain threshold, you should use the Compliance API instead.
Note
The API documented in this section is only available if you have the MI Restricted
