Regulatory Affairs • Environmental Compliance
Duration: 20 months • Role: Regulatory Affairs Specialist
Identifying which directives applied across the product's components (plastics, microcomputer, lead, and others) showed that environmental compliance has to be tracked at the component level, not the finished-device level, or a single restricted substance in a sub-assembly slips through unnoticed.
The product's bill of materials spanned multiple component types (plastics, microcomputer, lead, and others), each potentially subject to different REACH directives. Regulatory needed a defensible, component-level position rather than a single finished-device declaration.
Cross-referenced supplier material declarations against the REACH SVHC candidate list, component by component, and flagged any substance above the reporting threshold.
Produced a REACH declaration letter and a component-level substance checklist that gave Regulatory a defensible position for customer and distributor requests.
Environmental compliance has to be tracked at the component level, not the finished-device level, or a single restricted substance in a sub-assembly slips through unnoticed.
