SCIP Database Solution

Who needs to comply with SCIP?

EU producers/assemblers, EU importers, and EU distributors of articles and other parts in the supply chain who are placing articles on the EU market all need to comply with the SCIP Database submission requirements.

But even companies that are not directly required to comply will often be requested by their customers to provide the necessary data so that the customers can submit their product information to the SCIP Database.

Your obligations for SVHCs and the SCIP Database

Both the EU REACH regulation and the EU Waste Framework Directive require affected companies to evaluate and communicate or report on the risk of hazardous substances within their products. In order to do this, companies must collect and assess the chemical data of their products and components from their supply chain.

EU REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs)

Companies with products containing SVHCs over 0.1% w/w at the article level (defined as "reportable SVHCs") have an obligation to notify their down-stream customers.

The list of SVHCs grows and changes every 6 months, so Compliance Statements for components claiming EU REACH compliance have very short lifespans.

The best method for companies to manage the substance data on their products is to collect Full Material Declaration (FMD) data from suppliers so that substances can be re-evaluated without having to recollect data from suppliers every time the SVHC list is updated.

Data Collection, Validation, & Supplier Guidance

As part of our Data Services, GreenSoft will collect SVHC compliance data from your suppliers. Since the SCIP Database is still new to suppliers, the amount of suppliers who will be capable of providing this complex data (such as article category and material category from a pick list of 20,000 options) without errors is small. We provide guidance and education to suppliers to help improve response rates and data accuracy.

GreenSoft’s data collection team will actively pursue unresponsive suppliers via telephone and email as many times as it takes to obtain the required data. We then validate that data to ensure it is complete and accurate. This person-to-person data collection model allows for validation not only of the presence of the data, but of the contextual content of the data as well.

Data Classification

Submissions to the SCIP Database require data to be classified into article categories and material categories from a list of over 20,000 options.

GreenSoft will work with the suppliers to determine the category of articles and category of materials in your products which contain reportable SVHCs, and if suppliers fail to provide category classifications, we will perform classification assessments on article categories and material categories to fulfill the data requirements for SCIP database.

GreenData Manager Software

Our GreenData Manager with SCIP Module (GMD w/ SCIP) software is a powerful tool that allows for complex data processing and article analysis. Companies can use GDM w/ SCIP software to manage their EU REACH compliance and SCIP Database reporting themselves, or GreenSoft’s team can generate reports and SCIP dossiers from GDM w/ SCIP for you.

GDM w/ SCIP software features include the identification of reportable SVHCs in Bills of Materials (BOM), components, articles, and materials/mixtures. GDM w/ SCIP can assist in completing data requirements to prepare SCIP dossiers and export the dossiers into IUCLID i6z format for submissions. You can choose to submit SCIP dossiers one at a time or process them in bulk through a system-to-system transfer to the SCIP Database.
