Part Tree Tab

The Part Tree tab should be complete with pre-populated data.

These are the parts/BOMs for which Lexmark is requesting Material Declaration.

Parts made up of material and subparts may require the addition of a row with a 'container' subpart(s) used to list the material(s).

The tab includes non-required columns for data that may apply to certain parts.

Click when finished to ensure the required fields are properly filled in the correct format.

Materials Tab

Enter and define custom materials on the Materials tab.

This tab will not be pre-populated.

Whenever possible use the Lexmark Standard Materials listed on the Standard Materials tab.

A Substance may not be entered in the same row as a Material.

Buttons are provided on the worksheet to insert rows before or after the current row.

The Substance Name and CAS Number columns open a Choose Substance selection window with a list of possible substances with CAS numbers.

The substances may be sorted by CAS or Substance Name and may be searched.

Double click to select a substance.

The RoHS Exemption column opens a Choose RoHS Exemption window to choose a reason for a substance to be RoHS exempt, where applicable.

Click when finished to ensure the required fields are properly filled in the correct format.

Part Detail Tab

The Part Detail tab will be pre-populated with the 'leaf parts' -- child parts with no sub-parts -- that require material reporting.

Each part has a blank row beneath it for the material information.

A Material may not be entered in the same row as a Part.

Buttons are provided on the worksheet to insert rows before or after the current row.

The Material Name column opens a Choose Material selection window with lists of Standard Materials and Custom Materials on separate tabs.

The materials may be sorted by Name, Tradename, or Manufacturer and may be searched.

The Custom Materials tab in the Choose Material selection window is populated with your custom materials after the Material tab of the workbook is completed.

Double click to select a material.

Click when finished to ensure the required fields are properly filled.

If all parts are compliant, you will be prompted to Certify and Export Material Declaration Data.

If any parts are non-compliant, that is if any parts utilize a material that contains a Substance of Concern in an amount above the allowable threshold, you are required to complete the Substance of Concern Detail tab.

Standard Materials Tab

This tab is provided as a reference.

Substance of Concern Detail Tab

Saleable parts that contain a Substance of Concern in an amount above the allowable threshold are automatically listed here after the other tabs are completed.

Data entry on this tab is not required if no parts listed on the Part Detail tab contain a Substance of Concern above the allowable threshold.

Click when finished to endure the required fields are properly filled.
