European Chemical Agency: SCIP Database established under the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC (“WFD”)

The Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals Regulation (“REACH”) was implemented in 2007. It created the European Chemical Agency (“ECHA”) and was adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals, while enhancing the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry. REACH identify the Substance of Very High Concern (“SVHC”) and its inclusion in their Candidate List (https://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table) brings immediate obligations for suppliers of the substance.

The Waste Framework Directive (“WFD”) sets out measures addressing the adverse impacts of the generation and management of waste on the environment and human health, and for improving efficient use of resources which are crucial for the transition to a circular economy.

The revised WFD gave ECHA the tasks to develop a database with information on SVCHs on the Candidate List – called the SCIP Database (Substances of Concern In articles as such or in complex objects (Products)). It is imposing on companies that produce, import or supply articles containing SVHCs on the Candidate List in a concentration above 0.1% weight by weight (w/w) to submit information on these articles placed on the EU market to the SCIP database. This obligation is for articles produced in the EU or imported from non-EU-countries.
