	31	* RE030 - Material Supply
	32	** Procedure for Material Planning Process
	33	** Evidence that the need for the Materials required to produce the CEC certified products in the planned quantities is periodically determined, communicated to material and component suppliers, and sufficient availability confirmed by material and component suppliers
	34	* RE040 - Maintain required approvals
	35	** Product Qualification Procedure

1.2	48	* RF110 - Total Energy Consumption
1.1	49	** List of electricity bills covering the 12 month period reported in the cecLQRF
	50	** Individual electricity bills
1.2	51	** Evidence for the transport of materials and components as reported in the cecLQRF, at least a list of deliveries and how they were transported from the manufacturer of the material to the site. For antenna inlays ensure that the transport of the material from the plastic film manufacturer to the inlay manufacturer is also included.
1.1	52	* RF120 - Non-renewable Energy Consumption
	53	** Renewable Energy Certificates, if any were purchased
	54	** Confirmation from the electricity provider about renewable content of the electricity provided, if any renewable electricity was purchased
	55	** Records of renewable electricity generated on site
	56	** Note that the LCA calculation system we use to calculate the cumulative energy demand values includes assumptions for the standard electricity gridmix for countries and some regions within countries. If this is the only renewable content claimed, you do not need to provide any evidences beyond the cecLQRF.
	57	* RF130 - Total Material Consumption
1.2	58	** Measurement records supporting the data you provided in the cecLQRF (dimension, mass)
	59	** Yield records
1.1	60	* RF140 to RF160 - Non-renewable, non-recycled, not-from-reclaimed-waste Material Consumption
1.2	61	** Unless the material is CEC certified:
	62	*** Documented information from the material supplier regarding renewable, recycled, recovered waste content of the material
	63	*** 3rd party confirmation of renewable, recycled, recovered waste content of the material, if available
1.1	64	* RF210 - Halogen Content of the Finished Product
1.2	65	** Unless the default values provided in the cecLQRF were used, measurement records
1.1	66	* RF305 - Production Waste into landfill or incineration
1.2	67	** If you claim that your production waste is recycled, then you need to provide the following:
	68	*** Records showing the amount of production waste shipped to the recycling provider, summary and individual delivery notes
	69	*** Confirmation from the recycling provider of the amounts received
	70	*** Confirmation from the recycling provider of the amounts actually recycled
	71	*** Evidences that the recycling provider actually recycles the materials received, such as photos or videos, about the recycling process and the resulting products demonstrating that the production waste supplied from the Vendor is actually processed by the recycling provider and into what.
1.1	72	* RF310 - Total Production Waste
1.2	73	** Records showing the total amount of production waste for the time period reported in the cecLQRF
1.1	74	* RF320 - Product Mass
1.2	75	** Weight Measurement record
1.1	76	* RF400 - CO2e Footprint
1.2	77	** If you used the CEC LCA Support Service then the cecLQRF suffices as evidence, otherwise full access to the system that has determined the CO2e Footprint reported in the cecAP is required during the assessment.
