346 - Hello. Could you please clarify if the indication statement is considered a claim?
-
An indication statement is a claim. BUT it does not (in and of itself) impact whether the highest, middle, or lowest level of fair balance is required. A piece with only the indication statement, would qualify for the lowest level fair balance. Please see the guidance document "Guidance on Generating the Three Base Fair Balance Levels" and "Guidance on Base Fair Balance Level Selection and Placement".
