Supply Chain Data is Key to POPs Compliance
The Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) Regulation prohibits or severely restricts the production, placement on the European market, and usage of POPs.
31 substances/substance groups are currently regulated, and 10 more substances are under consideration to be added to the regulation. The only way to ensure compliance is to collect detailed substance data from your supply chain on the presence of regulated POPs in your products.
We collect your data for you
We contact your suppliers directly to collect data on the presence of POPs and other chemicals in parts and components so that you can be sure your products are compliant.

The POPs Regulation
POPs are regulated worldwide by the Stockholm Convention and the Aarhus Protocol. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) implements these international treaties in the European Union by the Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) Regulation (EU) 2019/1021.
Chemical substances that have been identified as POPs include:
- Pesticides (such as DDT);
- Industrial chemicals (such as polychlorinated biphenyls, which were widely used in electrical equipment); or
- Unintentional by-products formed during industrial processes, degradation or combustion (such as dioxins and furans).
