What causes this issue?

You did not enter a country for the location. If you want to use checks
for occupational exposure limits (OEL) for this location, country
information is mandatory.
You want to compare, for example, sample values of a workplace sampling
process with applicable OELs. The system determines the OELs that have
the same country and region of the risk location and compares these OEL
values with the sample values.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

Without any country information, the system cannot determine any
applicable OEL values.

located.
