POPs Compliance Screening

Check every part on your BOM against the persistent organic pollutants restricted by the Stockholm Convention and EU Regulation 2019/1021, and see which components clear, which sit over the 0.15% trace limit, and which fall out of compliance.

Toxic chemicals that resist breaking down

Persistent organic pollutants such as PFOS, the PBDEs, and short-chain chlorinated paraffins are restricted worldwide by the Stockholm Convention and the EU POPs Regulation 2019/1021. Compliance Manager screens your whole BOM against the list, so here is what you get.

Preguntas frecuentes

How do POPs get added to the list?

Any party to the Stockholm Convention, including the EU, can submit a proposal to add a new persistent organic pollutant to the annexes of the Convention. It is screened against the criteria in Annex D, then assessed for its risk profile and socio-economic impact before the POPs Review Committee recommends listing it.

What is the 0.15% trace limit?

For many substances the EU tolerates a POP present only as an unintentional trace contaminant up to 0.15% by weight, above which the article is non-compliant. The exact limit is set per substance in Annex I of the EU POPs Regulation, and some carry tighter thresholds. Compliance Manager tests each part against the applicable limit.

What are the consequences of non-compliance?

You could face hefty fines, withdrawal from EU markets, and product recalls, and be published on the Safety Gate rapid-alert system. Because Safety Gate is public, an entry there can damage both product and company reputation.

Is POPs related to REACH?

Yes. While they are two separate regulations, both are managed by ECHA and share protocols for additions, consultations, and enforcement, so the two lists are best screened together.

Who enforces POPs?

National enforcement authorities. In the EU they coordinate the enforcement of REACH, CLP, PIC, POPs, and the Biocidal Products regulations across the EU Member States, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. Most enforcement happens through post-market surveillance.

Is POPs screening separate from the rest of Compliance Manager?

No. POPs is one of more than 270 regulations Compliance Manager assesses. The same BOM is evaluated against REACH, RoHS, TSCA, and your other frameworks in one platform, with item rollup showing status at every level of the product hierarchy.
