Is this your request for new space when 80% of your current space has been declared used or when you have allocated 80% of your space?
Woops - I cut too much, this was meant to be in reply to Sabrina's "Yes, it is".
When 80% is currently *allocated* out of the RIPE NCC address blocks, we request additional addresses from IANA. It is unclear about what you mean with "declared used" , however, we do not wait until all LIRs have *assigned* all addresses from their allocations before we request additional address space. In other words, when we have less than 20% free address space to allocate from, a request is sent to IANA. Hope this answered your question.
