A SCIP Solution for Supply Chain Sustainability

Sell confidently in the EU with Assent’s seamless, system-to-system connection that enables direct data upload to the SCIP database.

SCIP Compliance: A New Requirement for EU Companies

In January 2021, new rules were introduced under the updated EU Waste Framework Directive (WFD). Companies selling into the EU must now survey their supply chains and submit data on the substances in their products to the Substances of Concern In articles, as such or in complex objects (Products) (SCIP) database. SCIP compliance is essential to keeping European market access and avoiding fines. Is your company ready to meet its requirements?

The Risks of SCIP Non-Compliance

Preparing and submitting SCIP dossiers is no easy task. Scoping products and getting the necessary data takes time and money, and staying on top of frequent regulatory changes — and changes in your product — can be a challenge. If you can’t keep up, you may face fines or product stoppage at customs — and if your employees are spending too much time on compliance activities, you may be losing out on revenue as well. Additionally, NGOs, consumers, regulators, and waste operators will have visibility into your product composition data. This could present reputational risk if your data is inaccurate or missing. Learn more about recent enforcement actions that demonstrate why proactive compliance is a business must.
