How to Complete a Material Disclosure for Painted or Plated Parts Using Intelligent Compliance Connect according to Motorola Solutions, Inc. Specification 1202897W18  

General Instructions 
Report only the coatings in the part as shipped to Motorola Solutions.  Do not report volatile solvents that evaporate or are baked off after painting and do not report process chemicals used in a plating process that do not remain on the finished part.  (Note that use of any of the ozone depleting chemicals listed in Appendix C of 1202897W18 must always be reported). After determining the mass of the coatings, select the applicable paint or plating composition for each layer of coating from the drop-down menu in Intelligent Compliance Connect. 

Method A – Measured weight 
Weigh a minimum of three unfinished parts on a laboratory balance in grams (g) with as much resolution as possible.  Apply and cure each coating and weigh each part between each coating step. Subtract the unfinished part weight from the coated part weight. Use the average value to report the mass of each coating in the Substance Weight Amount column in the Materials tab of Compliance connect.  (If the coating mass cannot be confidently measured, use Method B). 

Method B – Calculated weight 
Estimate the surface area of part where coating will be applied.  For many parts this can be done by approximating the part as a rectangle and multiplying length times width in centimeters (cm).  Subtract approximate area that is uncoated like windows, keypad) holes etc. Accuracy of +/- 10% is acceptable.  Measure the coating thickness by cross sectioning or other approved method, or use the nominal specified thickness. For typical paint films the following approximate density values may be used: 
•	Primer  0.88 g/cm3 
•	Base coat (colored coat) 1.2 g/cm3 

•	Top Coat (Polyurethane, UV cured) 1.1 g/cm3 Mass of coating (g) = area (cm2) X thickness (cm = µm / 100000) X density (g/ cm3)
Report the mass of each coating in the Substance Weight Amount column in the Materials tab of the Intelligent Compliance Connect form.
