In COINS we use cross references on a lot of the colours. By doing this we make choices easier and can keep the program compact. Many brands either work together, one company can run different brands and also manufacturers share facilities.

Attention the colours are exactly the same!!

The mutation date of the formulation  is the date we either created or changed the formula for the last time.
