ECHA has announced today that SCIP database is live and companies can start submitting data on SVHCs in their articles.
Helsinki, 28 October 2020 – The SCIP database was launched today and companies can submit data on substances of very high concern (SVHCs) in their articles. The Waste Framework Directive requires companies to submit their data as of 5 January 2021. Consumers and waste operators can access and use the data from February 2021 onwards.
Since 5 January, companies have had to submit data to ECHA on chemicals of concern in their products. Over five million notifications have already been received in the SCIP database, and the data will be published in the coming months.
In response to requests from industry, EPA has announced that it will reopen reporting of chemicals manufactured, imported, or processed in the United States under the TSCA Active-Inactive rule.
