Webinar Update: Global Supply Chain Declaration Requirements

Webinar Overview

This webinar provides a timely update on:

• Recent US EPA TSCA restrictions, including the PIP 3:1 substance restriction.
• Emerging environmental regulations that go beyond substance restrictions, into material circularity and efficiency.
• The standards to help organizations cope with the new requirements.

These ‘material’ requirements are driving a broad range of new methods and standards (EU, IEC, and ISO) for use by manufacturers and suppliers to generate consistent and reliable information flows through supply and distribution chains.

One example is the trend started by the EU SCIP database requiring reporting information on declarable articles and material categories. Other examples such as the recent EU ecodesign implementing measures, the upcoming EU digital product passport (DPP), and an ISO project for a product circularity data sheet will take this to yet a level higher. Another initiative launched by ISO and IEC is a joint ISO/IEC material declaration standard for use by all industries.
