Scip Database Digital Product Passport Substances Of Concern

Any article sold into the EU containing a Candidate List substance above 0.1% weight by weight has needed a SCIP notification to ECHA since 5 January 2021 — and the EU Digital Product Passport is built to carry that same substances-of-concern data rather than asking manufacturers to declare it twice.

Why AuthiChain

• SCIP notification is a Waste Framework Directive Article 9(1)(i) duty, separate from and older than the ESPR — a DPP record structured to carry SCIP-format substance declarations does not need a new data model when a category’s delegated act adopts
• The 0.1% w/w threshold applies per article, not per shipment or per SKU family — a bill of materials with hundreds of components can mean hundreds of individual SCIP checks, not one blanket declaration
• ECHA has reported ongoing technical delays in the SCIP dissemination process through 2026; a submitted notification is not void because publication is slow — the SCIP number issued at submission is what a DPP record should reference, not the dissemination status

How it works

Issue a unique identifier per unit, anchor its record on-chain for tamper-evidence, and let anyone verify it with a single scan. Plans start at $49/mo.

FAQ

Does a SCIP notification alone satisfy EU DPP hazardous-substance requirements?

Not necessarily — SCIP is a Waste Framework Directive obligation that predates the DPP. A DPP record can carry the same substance-of-concern data, but each product category’s delegated act sets what the passport itself must declare.

What triggers a SCIP notification?

Any article placed on the EU market containing a Candidate List substance of very high concern above 0.1% weight by weight, per Article 9(1)(i) of the Waste Framework Directive, in effect since 5 January 2021.
