Hello

Here's the answers.

1 u2013 Restriction tab - What is the purpose of this restriction tab?

There is some concept called rating and validity area which is used as one of authorization controls - who can edit / and who see the data.

2 u2013 Identifier tab

What is the purpose of this identifier tab?

Standard SAP recommend to use its existing standard identifier which are Name, Number, and Chamical formula, what their respective usage?

Identifiers are used for searching the specifications. In recent versions of SAP a new identifier type is introduced which is called Indicator. Chemicals you can give name, Formula and If you have a internal product number you can give number.

3 u2013 Reference tab

What is the purpose of this reference tab?

You can automatically maintain data without manually feeding data for each field by using reference option. This copies the data reversibly. So whenever you make changes in source it will be affected in target. when you refresh the specification.

4 u2013 Material Assignment tab

Why need to assign material in this tab and for what purpose?

Material is assigned for linking specifications (Environmental Data) to Logistic data of SAP.

5 u2013 Status tab

What is the purpose of this status tab?

Whenever you are editing the specification you can maintain different statuses so that the specifications are not used in producive environment. In process, Released etc. are the different statuses possible.

6 u2013 Relationship tab

What is the purpose of this Relationship tab?

This is also similiar to reference - which you use for automatic data maintenance but this works on template concept. Where in you use templates (filter like thing which controls which data to be copied) and maintain the data.

If you are geting more doubts i suggest you read online documentation on SAP EH&S.

Thanks
