Many companies in the automotive industry will also be obliged from January 2021 to additionally transmit the data of the SVHC they use to the new SCIP database. There will be new attribute fields as well as an interface from IMDS Release 13.0 (planned for March 2021) to the SCIP database to keep the effort as low as possible.
For newly created components, the following new attribute fields will be introduced:
- Article category/Taric codes
- Production in the EU
- Instructions for safe use required (yes/no)
- Instructions for safe use
- SCIP number
- SCIP submission number
The SCIP number and the SCIP submission number can be entered for articles and complex objects that have been submitted to SCIP by means other than the interface provided by IMDS. When the IMDS is used to submit data to SCIP, these fields are filled in automatically.
The following new attributes are introduced for newly created materials:
- Material Category
- Additional material properties
Existing material data sheets (MDS) can also be assigned to these attributes by creating a new version. In addition, it will be possible to transfer their own released MDSs individually into the SCIP database. Successfully submitted MDS will automatically receive their SCIP number and SCIP submission number.
To use the interface, companies must provide their ECHA API key for system-to-system submissions.
