I am not sure.
A product is matter that is being produced. A batch is a collection of things being produced at the same time. This makes batch a collection, not a constituent, and I do not see, why it is not a product. It is not necessarily a good, because the batch is not always sold as such. A lot is a collection of things that are sold together as one item, again not constituent.

@tw-osthus I'm not sure who raised this in one of our Monday meetings - it was one of the pharma companies I think. I've asked Johnson & Johnson how they represent it - we can confirm the approach on Monday next week before we finalize the release.
