As part of the modifications to cover CLP article 45 data (see issue #124), we should add the use types Consumer, Professional, Industrial as declares in Iuclid6 picklist PG6-60565 v1.0. However, SDS currently has two boolean values in ChemicalUsedByTheGeneralPublic:
CanBeUsedByTheGeneralPublic
UsedByTheGeneralPublicOnly
My understanding is that these can represent consumer only (true/true), industrial/professional only (false/false), or both (true/false). A combination of CanBeUsedByTheGeneralPublic=false and UsedByTheGeneralPublicOnly=true is technically possible, but not sensible. Thus, I suggest to drop these two fields and replace them with the more common values Consumer, Professional, Industrial as three boolean values (to allow any combination).
