Introduction
In response to valuable customer feedback on the recent rollout of the “EU REACH Authorisation and Restriction” regulatory topic, we are pleased to announce updates that enhance flexibility in how compliance statuses are collected and documented.
Background
Previously, the “EU REACH Authorisation and Restriction” topic was structured around two key questions, identified as ‘1’ and ‘2’ in the image below. In certain scenarios, this setup did not fully meet user needs, prompting a need for revision.
Image of the former 'EU REACH Authorisation and Restriction' regulatory topic in a product/material record view. Original questions are marked as '1' and '2' in red.
Updates and Improvements
To address this, we have now separated these questions into distinct regulatory topics. This allows each to be tracked and managed independently:
EU REACH Authorisation: Utilizes the original question ‘1’
EU REACH Restriction: Utilizes the original question ‘2’
Both topics will also include the following standard supplemental data fields:
Response Reference Date
Supplier Comments
Applicability
Notes
Supporting Files (ability to store attachments)
Impact on Users
With these topics now independently tracked and assessed, users might notice some changes. Perhaps most importantly, changes in the regulatory statuses of these topics may occur. Next, previously collected and stored data, or surveys sent using the former regulatory topic structure, will correctly map to the new topics automatically. Furthermore, compliance reports generated will now appear differently; previously combined, these will now be separate reports, one for each topic. Those who have not interacted with these topics previously will experience no impact from this update.
