Product World

How can ProductWorld help with REACH compliance?

The REACH compliance service from ProductWorld simplifies the collection, aggregation and analysis of the chemical composition of devices through the complete supply chain. Using a professional grade business application, the creation and management of REACH compliance information is driven to the appropriate levels in the supply chain using the concept of a distributed network. This facilitates compliance with the REACH directive with a low initial investment and a low maintenance cost.

Buyers and ProductWorld

Buyers, using ProductWorld, can invite their suppliers to enrol in ProductWorld. Once enrolled, suppliers can simply generate and maintain substance declarations for the part numbers that are supplied to the buyer. Using this information the buyer is able to parse their BOMs in order to create compliance information for their own product and thereby make a declaration. In turn this compliance information is automatically uploaded into ProductWorld in order to be used in other parts of the supply chain.

Suppliers and ProductWorld

Using ProductWorld, suppliers can simply generate and maintain substance declarations for the part numbers that are supplied to buyers. Using techniques borrowed from social networking, the supplier can choose to make some part number declarations confidential to certain customers, whilst opening up all information to others. As the system broadcasts the REACH compliance information, all compliance data is only created once, but can be re-used an unlimited number of time making the same compliance information available to customers in a simple and cost effective manner.
