ChemComply Insights

See the compliance blind spots beyond test reports.

Insights focus on practical product chemical compliance issues: technical files, DoC, supplier evidence, non-testing obligations, and internal workflows.

They help companies without dedicated compliance teams understand what to do next.

Content is organized by the problems companies actually face, not only by regulation name.

Compliance blind spots

Common gaps such as test reports not completing compliance, insufficient DoC evidence, or missing technical files.

Technical files and declarations

IEC 63000, EU DoC, supplier letters, internal control procedures, and technical file structures.

Non-testing regulatory response

PPWR, packaging, recycling, labeling, reuse, and supply chain data requirements that are not solved only by testing.

Restricted substances and supply chain management

CAS No. lookup, restricted substances, supplier documents, material risks, and customer RSL responses.

Examples of common compliance blind spots

These are not always new regulations; they are practical gaps that are often missed.

Topic
Common practice
Potential gap
RoHS
Declare compliance after receiving a 10-substance report
May lack IEC 63000 technical file, DoC, internal production control, and records
REACH SVHC
Only check whether test results are ND
May miss supply chain communication, article-level assessment, and customer document requirements
PPWR
Treat it as a packaging test request
May miss recyclability, labeling, technical file, reuse, and data mapping
DoC
Collect supplier reports and call it done
May miss manufacturer responsibility, regulatory versions, product identification, and signature details
Supplier Declaration
Use it directly when the supplier says compliant
May be expired, unclear in product scope, incomplete in regulatory coverage, or unsupported
