SCIP Database Submissions Now Required in European Economic Area
Affected companies in the EEA must now submit reportable SVHCs to the SCIP Database
The obligation to submit notifications to the SCIP Database has been extended to cover companies that supply articles in the European Economic Area (EEA).
Starting November 7, 2022, affected companies placing articles containing reportable Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) on the market in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway must submit notifications to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) online SCIP Database.
The requirement comes as the amendment to the Waste Framework Directive has been incorporated into the EEA Agreement. European Union countries have been required to make SCIP Database submissions since January 2021.
The goal of the public-facing SCIP Database is to enable consumers to make more informed purchasing choices and help waste operators to further develop the re-use of articles and the recycling of materials.

The SVHC data required for SCIP dossier submissions is significantly higher and more complex than the previous EU REACH requirements. And it can be challenging for affected companies to collect this information due to lack of familiarity with SCIP on the part of suppliers.
Additionally, submitting dossiers to the SCIP online portal contains its own set of challenges, as companies must be familiar with TARIC Codes, SCIP Reference IDs, SCIP Legal Entities, and other portal-related tasks.
