What is the SCIP Database (and do you need to submit data)?

Posted on May 26, 2020October 30, 2020 by THW

DO YOUR ARTICLES CONTAIN SUBSTANCES OF VERY HIGH CONCERN (SVHCS)?

DO YOU PLACE THEM ON THE EU MARKET?

SCIP is the database for information on Substances of Concern In articles, as such, or in complex objects (Products) established under the Waste Framework Directive (WFD).

If the articles you produce, assemble, import or distribute contain SVHCs on the ECHA’s Candidate List, in a concentration above 0.1 % weight by weight, and are supplied to the EU market, then you need to submit information on these articles to the ECHA and notify them to the SCIP database.

If you are a retailer and only supply your articles to consumers, you don’t need to notify.

The SCIP notification obligation for companies applies from 5th January 2021.

WHAT IS AN ARTICLE?

An article is an object which during production is given a special shape, surface or design which determines its function to a greater degree than its chemical composition.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?

You need to submit the following information to ECHA:

• the identification of your article;

• the name, concentration range and location of the Candidate List substances present in it; and

• other information that allows its safe use – notably information to ensure the article is properly managed once it becomes waste.

The information in the SCIP database is made publicly available, in particular to waste operators and consumers.

WHAT IS THE AIM?

The SCIP database aims to increase the knowledge of hazardous chemicals in articles and products throughout their whole lifecycle – including at the waste stage.
It also:

• aims to reduce hazardous substances in waste;

• encourages substitution of those substances with safer alternatives; and

• contributes to a better circular economy.

BENEFITS FOR WASTE OPERATORS AND CONSUMERS

The information in the SCIP database helps waste operators improve waste management practices and promotes the use of waste as a resource.

Consumers benefit from increased knowledge about hazardous chemicals in products. This will help them make better informed choices when buying products and promote their ‘right to ask.’

 

Make sure that you know your obligations and how these could affect your business.

Managing ongoing chemical compliance can be very complex, and requires effective regulatory label and document control.  Hibiscus offers powerful and affordable solutions to ensure that your labels and safety data sheets always comply with the local, regional, and global chemical regulations such as GHS, CLP and REACH.
