What does SCIP Database mean?
SCIP is ECHA's database for SVHC information in articles and complex objects.
Since 5 January 2021, EU suppliers of articles containing Candidate List SVHCs above 0.1 percent weight by weight must submit information to ECHA. SCIP complements REACH Article 33 communication and is intended to keep substance information available throughout the life cycle, including the waste stage.
Why does it matter for DPP and compliance?
SCIP matters for DPPs because ESPR data fields on substances of concern, location, concentration range, safe use, dismantling and recycling can use the same substance data. A product passport can make SCIP-relevant information findable, but it does not replace a SCIP notification.
What should teams prepare?
Companies should maintain SCIP notifications, article hierarchies, product variants, Candidate List versions, SVHC thresholds, substance locations, concentration ranges, safe-use instructions, dismantling notes and evidence sources consistently. For complex products, product, assembly, component and substance need to align.
