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.
Kind regards,
