Streamline Hazardous Substance Screening for Chemical Compliance, Smooth Product Launches
R&D Teams are eager to innovate and achieve competitive advantage by using alternative chemicals that reduce costs without sacrificing quality. R&D is on a constant quest to introduce new products that embody key attributes and achieve superior performance. From apparel and electronics, to packaging, appliances and everything in-between, products must meet increasingly demanding standards.
The Challenge of Chemical Compliance
R&D and product teams have an abundance of chemicals to choose from when designing their products. In fact, there are an estimated 40,000 – 60,000 chemicals in use in manufacturing today. Unfortunately, many of these substances have been shown to negatively impact human health and the environment. Government agencies and non-government agencies alike are stepping in to manage the use, handling and disposal of potentially dangerous chemicals.
Dozens of regional, national and state regulations worldwide now require manufacturers and distributors of products to report on substances of concern used in their products. Among the most well-known regulations are Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard Communication Standard (OSHA HazCom). Yet, they represent just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to requirements for understanding and reporting substances of concern.
For this reason, product safety and stewardship managers are under pressure to comply with an increasingly complex regulatory landscape regarding use of chemicals of concern. Requirements for reporting, notifications, compliance checks by market all require time and resources that accordion under the volume and complexity of requests to validate compliance. When R&D managers propose the use of a new chemical, it's enough to make compliance officials sweat. It could lead to a pitfall characterized by long product launch delays, expensive product redesign work, or revenue shortfalls due to insufficient research. A certain chemical of concern may be banned from use in a particular region or has a phase-out plan within 12 months.
