Upcoming regulatory developments in the field of Material Compliance – EU & USA

The area of material compliance has been getting more and more regulatory focus.  It affects all manufacturing industries, requiring companies not only to comply with various substance bans or restrictions, but also to ensure a compliant material compliance communication along supply chains.  The complexity of the requirements makes it easy to fall into different regulatory pitfalls.

The focus of this article is on some of the recent and upcoming material compliance regulatory developments in the EU and the USA, which belong to the most regulated markets in this regard and are often followed by other countries.

Key Take Aways:

• The EU material compliance landscape is quite dynamic, with upcoming changes not only to the known REACH regulation and RoHS directive, but also with material compliance provisions in other pieces of legislation, such as the new Battery or Packaging regulations.
• The regulation of the widespread PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) is speeding up not only in the EU but also in the United States, creating multiple compliance challenges.
• Few companies have manpower and know-how to deal with the regulatory material compliance challenges on their own.
