SCIP Compliance: What You Need to Know
What is SCIP?
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) of the (EU).
Since January 2021, manufacturers and importers of products in the European Union (EU) have been legally obliged to enter them in the SCIP database, to inform downstream product recipients about the presence of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).
This initiative:
- Supports the circular economy by identifying hazardous substances in the waste stream.
- Enhances product lifecycle transparency for waste operators and consumers.
Who needs to comply SCIP requirements?
Any business that manufactures, imports, or distributes products containing Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) above 0.1% w/w in the EU must comply with SCIP requirements. This includes:
- EU-based manufacturers and assemblers
- EU importers and distributors
- Non-EU companies supplying products to the EU through subsidiaries or partners
If your products are entering the EU market, SCIP compliance is not optional - it´s mandatory.
Who created the SCIP database and why?
The European Commission (EC) established the SCIP database through Directive (EU) 2018/851, which amended the EU Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC). The directive requires all EU producers and importers to report articles containing substances from the REACH Candidate List above 0.1% w/w. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) was tasked with developing and maintaining the SCIP database to improve transparency, support recycling, and ensure safe reuse of materials across the EU.
What are SCIP notifications?
Companies supplying articles containing substances of very high concern (SVHCs) on the Candidate List in a concentration above 0.1% weight by weight (w/w) on the EU market have to submit information on these articles to ECHA.
The exchange of this information between ECHA and those companies is called (SCIP notification).
What substances need to be reported under SCIP?
Companies must report any article that contains substances from the ECHA Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) in concentrations above 0.1% weight by weight (w/w). The Candidate List is maintained by the European Chemicals Agency and is updated regularly. You can find the current list on the ECHA website.
What are the risks of non-compliance with SCIP requirements?
Non-compliance with SCIP regulations can result in:
- Regulatory penalties and fines
- Legal enforcement actions
- Supply chain disruptions
- Damage to brand reputation and customer trust
