Composition What the mixture is made of.
Components and proportions
The substances and their fractions.
Component list
Each component with its identity and fraction.
- Which substances does the mixture contain, and with which identifiers?
- In what fraction or range is each component present?
Confidentiality
Whether parts of the recipe are withheld as trade secrets.
- Is any component withheld as confidential, and under which rule?
- Is enough disclosed to assess hazards?
Properties and classification How the mixture behaves and how it is classified.
Physical and hazard properties
Measured properties and resulting classification.
Measured properties
Physical and chemical properties with test methods.
- Which properties were measured, and by which test methods?
- Are the values for the mixture itself or calculated from components?
Hazard classification
The classification and labelling of the mixture.
- Which hazard classes apply under the applicable classification rules?
- Is a current safety data sheet available?
Use and versions What the mixture is for and how its recipe changes.
Intended use and revision
Uses and recipe versions.
Use and version
Intended uses and the current recipe version.
- Which uses is the mixture intended and approved for?
- Which recipe version is current, and what changed from the last?

What it is Filled
A mixture or formulation is a material made of two or more substances combined in stated proportions for a purpose, such as a paint, an alloy recipe, a detergent, a pharmaceutical formulation or a fuel blend. It is defined by its composition and properties as a kind; single substances, produced batches and the hazard profile are related but separate subjects.
Why it exists Filled
Mixtures and formulations as stated combinations of substances for a purpose.
Distinguishing features Filled
- A mixture is defined by components and proportions, while a substance has one chemical identity.
- It is a kind or recipe; each produced batch is a separate record that should conform to it.
- Mixture hazards are classified for the mixture as a whole, not only per component.
- Distinct from an engineered material, which is defined by structure and processing as well as composition.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Give preparation procedures or quantities for dangerous mixtures such as explosives or toxic agents.
- Reveal confidential recipe details beyond the granted view.
- Declare a mixture non-hazardous without a valid classification.
- Advise substituting components in a regulated formulation without approval.
Only with a human decision
- Approving a new or changed formulation for sale or use.
- Classifying and labelling a mixture for the market.
- Releasing confidential composition to an authority or partner.
May
- Look up composition and classification from safety data sheets.
- Check a recipe against restricted substance lists.
- Report which properties were measured and which calculated.
- Compare recipe versions and list the changes.
Moral aspects Filled
- Workers and consumers need accurate hazard information to stay safe.
- Trade secrecy must not hide hazards from those exposed.
- Some mixtures can be misused to cause harm, so detail must stay at policy level.
Who is affected
- Workers handling the mixture
- Consumers and end users
- Formulators and suppliers
- People and ecosystems exposed to releases
Owners Filled
Steward
The formulator or supplier who places the mixture on the market and answers for its composition and classification.
Master systems
- Product lifecycle or formulation management system
- Safety data sheet repository
- Regulatory substance registration database

What else AI and robots need to interact with it Filled
Identity and identifiers required Filled
- A mixture is identified by the supplier's product code and trade name, and in the EU by a Unique Formula Identifier on the label where required.
- Components are identified by CAS numbers, EC numbers or other substance identifiers.
Direct properties required Filled
- Component fractions in mass or volume percent, as exact values or ranges.
- Density in kilograms per cubic metre and viscosity in pascal seconds at a stated temperature.
- pH at a stated concentration and temperature.
- Flash point and boiling range in degrees Celsius, by a named test method.
- Particle size distribution in micrometres for powders and suspensions.
Recognition required Filled
- A mixture is recognised by its label, safety data sheet and container, not reliably by appearance.
- Different mixtures can look identical, and decanted material without a label must be treated as unknown.
Capabilities and actions required Filled
- A formulation can be versioned, approved, restricted or withdrawn.
- Its classification can be recalculated when components or rules change.
Hazards and failure modes required Filled
- Toxic, corrosive, flammable or reactive properties of the mixture.
- Incompatible mixing producing dangerous reactions.
- Environmental harm from spills and releases.
Standards and interfaces required Filled
- UN GHS safety data sheet sections for composition and hazards.
- EU CLP labelling and poison centre notification format.
- ISO 11014 for safety data sheet content.
Context of use required Filled
- Formulated in chemical, pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic and construction industries.
- Marketing and use are regulated by chemical, product and sector law.
Sources Filled
- Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (United Nations)
- Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging (European Union)
- Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 REACH (European Union)
