If WWS platforms are approved for use in relation with third parties:
• total system capacity must be equal to the sum of each individual WWS platform’s capacity.
• system division must be equal to the sum of each individual WWS platform’s division rounded up to the highest one.
• set these parameters to be able to approve the system.
E.g.: in a system consisting of 8 WWS platforms with “Max.=15,000kg” and “e=5kg”, maximum capacity will be
“Max.=120,000kg” and the division “e=50kg”.

If the platforms are not approved:

• total system capacity must be equal to the sum of each individual WWS platform’s capacity.
• system division equals division of the single WWS platform.
E.g.: in a system consisting of 8 WWS platforms with “Max.=15,000kg” and “e=5kg”, maximum capacity will be
“Max.=120,000kg” and the division “e=5kg”.

The system’s total capacity and division can be modified to create specific internal use systems (see step F).

If WWS platforms are approved for use in relation with third parties:
• total system capacity must be equal to the sum of each individual WWS platform’s capacity.
• system division must be equal to the sum of each individual WWS platform’s division rounded up to the highest one.
• set these parameters to be able to approve the system.
E.g.: in a system consisting of 8 WWS platforms with “Max.=15,000kg” and “e=5kg”, maximum capacity will be
“Max.=120,000kg” and the division “e=50kg”.

If the platforms are not approved:

• total system capacity must be equal to the sum of each individual WWS platform’s capacity.
• system division equals division of the single WWS platform.
E.g.: in a system consisting of 8 WWS platforms with “Max.=15,000kg” and “e=5kg”, maximum capacity will be
“Max.=120,000kg” and the division “e=5kg”.

The system’s total capacity and division can be modified to create specific internal use systems (see step F).

F. Set indicator metric parameters (if required).
