FAQ's
What is the difference between Product Compliance and Material Compliance?
Product Compliance ensures that a product meets all relevant regulations, standards, and laws, such as product safety, labeling, packaging, or environmental requirements.
Material Compliance is the basis for Product Compliance and goes one level deeper: it checks the materials and substances used for critical elements such as lead, chromium, or PFAS – and whether they meet prescribed limits.
Product Compliance
- Focus: the entire product
- Topics: product safety, labeling, packaging, environmental requirements
- Goal: ensure the product can be legally marketed
- Example: CE marking
Material Compliance
- Focus: materials & substances
- Topics: critical substances (REACH, RoHS, PFAS, etc.)
- Goal: proof that materials are compliant – foundation for Product Compliance
- Example: SCIP submission to ECHA
What does Material Compliance mean?
Material Compliance means that the materials and substances used in a product comply with applicable legal requirements. These include REACH, RoHS, TSCA, or California Prop 65. The goal is to avoid critical substances such as lead, chromium, or PFAS, or to stay within their limits.
Why is Material Compliance the basis for Product Compliance?
Without Material Compliance, full Product Compliance is impossible. Only when materials and substances are known and assessed at substance level can BOMs or assemblies be declared compliant and marketed legally.
Which regulations are part of Material Compliance?
How does Substantio support Material Compliance?
Our software automates the collection and evaluation of material and substance data. Supplier communication, BOM analysis, and reports such as SCIP are generated with just a few clicks – saving time, improving data quality, and ensuring market access.
What are the advantages of automated Material Compliance over manual processes?
Automated processes reduce errors, save time, and ensure that the latest regulations are always applied. Manual Excel-based processes are error-prone and make audits difficult.
Does Material Compliance also support sustainability and ESG reporting?
Yes. Material Compliance provides the foundation for sustainability reports and ESG KPIs. Transparency at substance level enables efficient CO₂ balances (LCA), CSRD reports, and Digital Product Passports (DPP).
