Changes in GPSR attributes

We are going to change the labels (names) of three existing attribute types. These are filter_type, lens_type and gpsr_warnings. They will be renamed accordingly:

  • Filter_type -> filter_type_productsafety
  • Lens_type -> lens_type_productsafety
  • gpsr_warnings -> warnings_productsafety

All these three attributes have the same definition (free text strings).

EPR Battery Attributes

As part of the EPR Battery project, we are going to add the optional attributes contains_electronics and contains_batteries to the config tier. These attributes will be linked to all the outlines. Both these attributes are reference_by_label with values yes and no.
