In the table below the input of man-hours for the core SFA and optional
extensions is summarised. The proposed inputs should be considered as
reference values, and the actual input has to be determined specifically
for each substance in question.
|
Core SFA, detailed |
Approximately 3-5 man months per substance.
For 'sun-down chemicals' extra input must be expected if the
consumption assessment are to reach the level of a detailed
analysis. |
|
Core SFA, overview |
Approximately 1 man-month per substance if more substances are
analysed in the same project. |
|
International market and trends in consumption, detailed |
Approximately 1-3 man-week per substance or substance group.
The use of international market analyses reports should be
specified in the budget. The cost of these reports are 10,000-30,000
DKK. |
|
Qualitative description of the exposure of man by use and
disposal of finished products |
Approximately 1-4 man-week per substance. |
|
Scenarios for future emissions and loss of the substance, simple
"business as usual" model |
The input will depend on the number of application areas covered
by the scenarios. It should be noted that each application area
might cover many product types with different life-time
distributions. It is estimated that the simple scenarios will
approximately take in total three to six man-weeks for all
application areas dependent on the number of different product
types. |
|
Scenarios for future emissions and loss of the substance,
detailed model |
The input will depend on the number of application areas covered
by the scenarios. It should be noted that each application area
might cover many product types with different life-time
distributions. It is estimated that the detailed scenarios will
approximately take one to four man-weeks for the first application
area dependent on the number of different product types, and less
for the subsequent application areas. |
|
Occurrence and fate in the environment |
The input for this appendix will be very dependent on whether the
SFA covers a single element or a large group of chemicals. If the
SFA covers a large group of chemicals it may be most appropriate to
report this assessment in a separate publication. The input for a
single substance will approximately be a half to two man-month. |
|
National and international regulation on the use of the substance |
Approximately between a half and one man-week per substance. |
|
Assessment of substitutes |
The input will be dependent on the number of applications and
levels covered by the assessment. The input for an assessment at all
levels for one application will approximately be one to three
man-weeks. |
|
Recycling, downcycling and material deterioration |
The input will be dependent on the number of application areas
covered. By the initiation of the SFA is should be defined which
application areas are covered by the appendix. There is only very
limited experience with this extension in SFAs and the input has to
be estimated separately for each substance. |
The specification of focus areas is estimated not to influence the total
budget, as inputs are allocated from one area to another.
