How to fit the gap between mandatory/required SCIP data and what manufacturers are collecting for years to support EU REACH Article 33

To support EU RoHS regulation (since 2006) then EU REACH regulation article 33 (since 2008), business sectors have put in place industry standards to facilitate communication of Materials and Substances data in their Supply Chain. Now EC under the Waste Framework Directive (2018) has amended in its article 9 the EU REACH duties to also notify their products to the ECHA authority.

ECHA has put in place the SCIP database to comply with the WFD but has defined additional data as mandatory or required in this database that are not covered by original article 33. This is a very important issue that companies have to face because they just don't have the data as requested by the ECHA. How do we fill the gap?

Jean-Pierre Th??ret, Dassault Syst??mes, France
