About the webinar

Do you supply a product that is placed on the EU market? Are your EU clients asking you for lots of information about substances of very high concern (SVHCs) in your articles? The SCIP database is a new requirement under the revised EU Waste Framework Directive. All companies placing products on the EU market must notify those containing SVHCs to this database from January 2021.

The SCIP database’s purpose is to reduce the amount of hazardous waste by supporting the use of safer replacement substances in manufacturing, improving the waste treatment process, and allowing authorities to monitor the use of hazardous substances.

The data requirements for the SCIP database are more extensive and complex than those of  REACH Article 33 and require substantial amounts of information from the supply chain. This presents a huge challenge for the industry. Join us for this free webinar to learn how you, in North America, are affected by these regulations and how you can meet the requirements in the most resource-efficient manner.

This webinar will cover:

  • Background on SCIP database

  • How does this affect North American companies and their supply chains?

  • REACH vs SCIP obligations 

  • Data required for SCIP submission

  • Your involvement in SCIP

  • Yordas’ recommendations

This webinar will benefit:

  • North American companies with EU-based manufacturers, importers and suppliers of articles (e.g. component parts)

  • Companies wanting to learn more about the SCIP notification submission process

  • Industries: advanced manufacturing, automotive, consumer goods, electronics
