The REACH Reality for Compliance Teams

REACH wasn't built for the speed of modern supply chains. Every SVHC list update sets off a fire drill. Most teams are running it in Excel with predictably bad results.

The SVHC list keeps growing. 240+ substances and counting. Every January and June ECHA adds new ones. Each addition means re-checking every article in your portfolio against the new entries within six months - usually with no resource added.

Article-level concentration is the trap. The "once-an-article-always-an-article" ruling means 0.1% applies to each component article, not the whole product. A screw, a wire, a coating - each is its own article. Most companies still calculate against the wrong denominator.

Suppliers don't reply to substance requests. Sending IPC-1752 or IEC 62474 declaration requests to hundreds of suppliers manually, then chasing them by email, then transcribing returned PDFs - this is the single biggest time sink in REACH compliance.

SCIP submissions are tedious and error-prone. Each article over the threshold needs its own SCIP record with full substance identity, concentration range, identifier, and category. Manual entry into ECHA's IUCLID system across thousands of articles is a recipe for inconsistency and rework.

Article 33 customer letters never stop. Every B2B customer sends quarterly substance requests. Consumers can demand a 45-day response. Sales engineers and compliance get pulled into bespoke replies because there's no single source of truth on which articles contain what.

UK REACH duplicates the workload post-Brexit. Separate candidate list, separate restrictions, separate registration requirements. Most companies are running two parallel spreadsheets, two parallel processes, and discovering inconsistencies only when an enforcer asks.

How ESG:ONE Solves It

Six capabilities mapped 1:1 to the pains above.

Solves: SVHC list updates twice a year

Auto-Synced SVHC Library

EU SVHC Candidate List from ECHA and UK SVHC list from HSE synced automatically on every update. New substances trigger an instant impact assessment against your entire article catalogue and a workflow with deadlines for SCIP and Article 33 obligations.

Solves: article-level concentration calculation

BoM-Aware Concentration Engine

Multi-level bill-of-materials cross-check that respects the "once-an-article-always-an-article" principle. Concentration calculated per component article (the screw, the wire, the coating), not against the whole product. Built for complex assemblies.

Solves: suppliers don't reply

Supplier Declaration Portal

Branded portal with IPC-1752A, IEC 62474 and full material declaration templates. Suppliers upload structured data - AI extracts substance lists from PDFs they send anyway. Automated follow-up, reminder cadences and response tracking. Tested at 5,000+ supplier deployments.

Solves: SCIP submission errors

SCIP Generator & Bulk Submission

Generate SCIP-conformant IUCLID-format XML for every article above threshold. Bulk submission to ECHA's SCIP database, error reconciliation, and identifier round-tripping. Maintain submission history per article with full version control.

Solves: Article 33 customer letters never stop

Article 33 Response Automation

Customer-facing portal where buyers self-serve substance information per article. Branded auto-responses for incoming requests by email. Standard B2B and consumer (45-day) templates. Frees sales engineers from bespoke compliance replies.

Solves: UK REACH duplicates workload

Dual EU REACH + UK REACH

One bill of materials, two regimes. Separate ECHA and HSE SVHC lists run in parallel against each article. Divergent restrictions flagged. Article 33 letters generated for both. Stops the dual-spreadsheet drift before it becomes an enforcer's finding.

What Else REACH Throws at You - All Handled

Annex XIV (Authorisation)

Track substances requiring authorisation, application deadlines, sunset dates and granted scopes per use. Alerts when an Annex XIV substance enters your BoM.

Annex XVII (Restriction)

Restriction list synced from ECHA. Concentration limits, product-category scope, derogations and transition periods enforced automatically against your article portfolio.

SDS & eSDS Management

Safety Data Sheet ingestion (Section 3 substance lists), extended SDS exposure scenarios, and link-up to BoM data so compliance and EHS share one substance master.

POPs & Adjacent Regulations

Persistent Organic Pollutants regulation, EU Battery Regulation hazardous substance restrictions, RoHS, packaging and waste directives - same substance master, multiple compliance lenses.

Substitution Tracking

Manage SVHC substitution projects from candidate identification to validated replacement. Decision logs, cost-benefit, technical-feasibility records.

Audit Trail & Records

Immutable record of every BoM revision, supplier declaration, SCIP submission and Article 33 response. Mandatory 10-year retention met automatically.

REACH FAQs

Who needs to comply with REACH?

Any company that manufactures, imports, distributes or sells chemicals or articles containing chemical substances in the EU or UK. EU REACH and UK REACH are now separate regimes since Brexit, with different SVHC lists and submission systems. Manufacturers, importers, distributors and downstream users all have obligations.

What is the SVHC list and how often does it change?

The Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern is maintained by ECHA. It currently contains 240+ substances and is updated twice a year (usually January and June). New additions trigger Article 33 disclosure obligations and a SCIP submission within six months for any article containing the substance above 0.1% w/w.

What is SCIP and who has to submit?

SCIP (Substances of Concern In articles, as such or in complex objects) is ECHA's database. Any company supplying articles containing SVHCs above 0.1% w/w to the EU market must submit data including substance identity, concentration, article identifier and safe-use information. Submissions are required for every distinct article and updated whenever the SVHC list changes.

What does Article 33 actually require?

Any supplier of an article containing an SVHC above 0.1% w/w must provide sufficient information for safe use to recipients within the supply chain (B2B) and within 45 days to consumers on request. The "once-an-article-always-an-article" principle means concentration applies to the component article, not the whole product.

Does ESG:ONE handle both EU REACH and UK REACH?

Yes. We sync the EU SVHC Candidate List from ECHA and the UK SVHC list from HSE separately, run dual compliance checks per article, and generate the relevant submissions (SCIP for EU, the equivalent UK route as published by HSE). One BoM, two regimes, automatically reconciled.
