The SCIP database remains fully in place, and the reporting obligations under the Waste Framework Directive continue to apply without change.

In light of the ongoing regulatory discussions at EU level regarding the potential evolution or future of the SCIP database, we have received an increasing number of inquiries as to whether the associated obligations still apply.

👉 The key fact is:
No legally binding decision has been made to abolish or suspend the SCIP database.

Companies are still required to submit complete, accurate, and timely information on Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC >  0.1% w/w) in articles to ECHA – before placing those articles on the EU market.

Why SCIP Remains Relevant

The SCIP database is not only intended to support communication within the supply chain, but also to:

• Improve waste treatment and the circular economy
• Increase transparency towards authorities
• Strengthen enforcement of REACH obligations

Non-compliance or incorrect reporting may – depending on the Member State – result in significant financial penalties, market surveillance measures, reputational risks.

With increasing digitalisation and cross-system data checks, SCIP is coming more and more into focus of regulatory scrutiny.
