Leverage GreenCheck for SCIP Compliance
GreenCheck is an application for chemical compliance management that simplifies regulatory processes, including compliance with the ECHA SCIP database. Its intuitive technology and user-friendly interface help you navigate complex regulations, ensuring your business remains competitive. By adopting a smarter and more sustainable approach to compliance, you can see how GreenCheck transforms the management of your SCIP obligations.
The SCIP database, established under the Waste Framework Directive (WFD), requires companies placing articles that contain Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) in concentrations exceeding 0.1% by weight on the EU market to submit detailed notifications. Here’s how organizations can leverage GreenCheck to facilitate compliance with SCIP regulations
Core Capabilities of the GreenCheck (GC)
SCIP Module for Ensuring Compliance
Automated Data Collection and Management
- GreenCheck facilitates efficient data collection by allowing users to import product data into the application directly. It also enables connections with in-house or enterprise systems via APIs, ensuring seamless product data integration for compliance management.
- Accepts multiple formats like IPC 1752A/B, i6z files, Excel, custom templates and converts them to GC acceptable format
- Flexibility to apply default attribute values to simplify data submission when precise data is unavailable or impractical to obtain.
- Capability to effectively handle scenarios with no, partial, or complete data sets across both automotive and non-automotive industries.
Supplier Management
- Distinct login interfaces for customers and suppliers
- The application also sends notifications, tracks responses, and collects complete material declarations. This provides detailed data on SVHCs at the article level, essential for SCIP submissions.
BOM Analysis and Validation
- GreenCheck performs detailed bill of materials (BOM) analysis, identifying issues, scrubbing BOMs, and building valid product tree structures. This ensures accurate identification of articles containing SVHCs above the 0.1% w/w threshold.
- The application allows for revisions and BOM variants, ensuring compliance during product changes, which is crucial for consistent SCIP reporting.
SCIP Dossier Preparation and Submission
- GreenCheck automates the preparation of SCIP dossiers in the standardized IUCLID format required by ECHA. It validates dossiers to ensure compliance with ECHA guidelines, reducing errors.
- Flexibility to apply default attribute values to simplify data submission when precise data is unavailable or impractical to obtain.
- Streamlined creation and submission of bulk SCIP dossiers
- Ability to submit SCIP dossiers to multiple plants simultaneously
- GC enables bulk submissions to the SCIP portal through system-to-system (S2S) services, making the process more efficient for companies with extensive product portfolios. This automation significantly reduces the time required compared to manual submissions.
- Retain the generated ECHA-SCIP number within the GreenCheck (GC) SCIP module
Proactive Compliance Monitoring
- GreenCheck proactively identifies products requiring SCIP compliance through risk-based analysis. It monitors updates to the REACH SVHC Candidate List, ensuring timely updates to SCIP declarations when new substances are added or product compositions change.
- The application generates compliance reports at the BOM / Part / Supplier level, including SCIP submission reports, facilitating regulatory transparency.
Custom Survey and Reporting Capabilities
- GreenCheck supports custom survey features at both the part and supplier levels, allowing tailored data collection to meet SCIP’s granular requirements.
- It generates detailed compliance declarations for parts, assemblies, and sub-assemblies, ensuring all necessary information (e.g., article identification, SVHC concentration, and safe use instructions) is included in SCIP dossiers.
