Collaborative supply chain intelligence

SCIP, made operational.

Maintain article-level substances-of-concern evidence for circular product information.

The Waste Framework Directive requires suppliers of articles containing Candidate List substances above 0.1% weight by weight to provide information to ECHA’s SCIP database. CommonShare helps teams maintain article hierarchies, screen substance data, request supplier evidence, prepare dossiers, and preserve submission versions.

Article hierarchy and SVHC trigger

Know which Candidate List substance sits in which article.

SCIP depends on legal article boundaries, supplier role, Candidate List identity, concentration, and product structure. Build the hierarchy before preparing a dossier.

Determine article and supplier role

Identify articles, complex objects, EU market actors, exclusions, and whether the notification duty applies.

Screen Candidate List substances

Connect substance identity and concentration evidence to the correct article, component, material, and Candidate List version.

Build the article hierarchy

Maintain component relationships, article categories, material or mixture categories, identifiers, and safe-use information.

Prepare and validate dossiers

Structure required SCIP fields, apply grouping or referencing approaches appropriately, and resolve completeness or validation gaps.

Submit and maintain records

Preserve dossier versions, submission numbers, status, updates, and the evidence supporting each notified article.

Regulatory workflow in practice

Move from scope to a governed outcome.

Map the relevant records, collect evidence, review gaps, and release an approved outcome with a complete history.
