SCIP - A new obligation related to SvHC

The SCIP database 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). The WFD was amended in 2018 to empower ECHA to establish a database for substances of concern in articles and to provide access to that database to waste treatment operators. The main objectives of SCIP database are :
- Decrease the generation of waste containing hazardous substances by supporting the substitution of substances of concern in articles placed on the EU market
- Make information available to further improve waste treatment operations
- Allow authorities to monitor the use of substances of concern in articles and initiate appropriate actions over the whole lifecycle of articles, including at their waste stage
