Key OUTPUT – product level: Identification of lead substance(s)Calculation of RCRs for lead substances
Future work • More testing and removal of various bugs • Validation • More elaboration of preparation part • ….. • ….
Case study – trial exercise Getting started • Case study described in paper • ES-modifier save on memory-sticks • Two versions • 2003 • 2007 (not fully supported yet) • To run ES-modifier: macros shall be enabled • Load the file ES-modifier Prototype 2.0 • If warning messages (2007) answer yes
