Product documents
You can submit twelve different types of documents. For some types you can import up to nine per article, while others allow only one (see the table below).
Historical documents
Documents can be displayed under two headings in the interface: Documents and Historical documents. Historical documents apply to the document types that may only have one active document, such as an environmental product declaration. When an older document is replaced, it moves to Historical documents to provide traceability for recipients who need to see earlier documentation.
