Achieve REACH and RoHS compliance with Teamcenter
REACH and RoHS
REACH and RoHS
Teamcenter® can help you achieve REACH and RoHS compliance, and other environmental regulations with capabilities that include materials data management, supplier declaration processing, and compliance grading and reporting. REACH and RoHS reporting directives require manufacturers to disclose materials used in their products to limit the use of hazardous substances. This includes material disclosure requirements for both in-house and supplied components in products. Compliance grading capabilities in Teamcenter, which uses the compliance process manager (CPM), created by thinkstep, is leveraged to check for product compliance against REACH and RoHS, as well as various other environmental regulations around the globe. Highly automated supplier declaration processes and integrations to supplier material data portals like the International Material Data System (IMDS) and BOMcheck, help you get a complete view of your products' makeup. You can generate dashboard views of product compliance status data, and create industry-standard compliance reports for internal and external reporting requirements.
REACH and RoHS compliance capabilities help you to stay compliant. Read more about these features below.
Editor to create custom rules to check compliance help you stay proactive
Why not plan ahead for environmental regulations coming down the pike, and meet your company specific product sustainability goals with the help of a rules editor?

Gather declarations from suppliers to stay compliant
To comply with REACH and RoHS reporting requirements, you must have a holistic view of your product BOM, which should include material data from your supplied components. With Teamcenter, you can leverage automated supplier declaration processes to request, collect, and validate declarations. Once approved, material data from suppliers can be aggregated into your product BOM. Support for industry standards (IPC-175x, CMRT) and integrations to supplier material data portals like the International Material Data System (IMDS) and BOMcheck help to streamline your supplier declaration processes.
Industry standard formats to streamline declaration processing
Teamcenter Substance Compliance supports highly automated processes to request declarations from suppliers, and streamlines the process to validate, review and aggregate material data into your product BOM. You can increase productivity and reduce costs associated with the collection of supplier declarations using industry standards such as IPC-175x and CMRT. With Teamcenter, you have the tools you need to know and report out on your entire product makeup, including declaration data from your suppliers, to stay compliant.
