Currently, there is no quality check to ensure the reporting threshold adds up to 100% (or close to 100%). An example and details of why there is no quality check are illustrated below.
Ingredients falling below the reporting threshold could potentially add up.
- Example: 10 ingredients at 0.09% adds up to 0.9% of the product. A complete content inventory would total only 99.1%.
This topic was brought up to the Content Inventory & Supply Chain TSG and here were the final thoughts on the topic:
- This type of quality check would only add complexity to creating an HPD.
- Added complexity would be greater than the value it would bring to Users.
- Rather, continue to push for manufacturers to use third-party verification or third-party preparers.
- Let certifications, such as through the Program Pre-Check, support greater data quality rather than adding more checks and balances within the HPD Builder.
