Regulatory Content
The BOMcheck platform supports a range of regulatory content pertaining to substance compliance in Articles. This regulatory content is presented in the format of supported Declarable Substance Lists (DSLs) otherwise know as Restricted Substance Lists (RSLs), Lists of Declarable Substances (LoDS) and other similar terms.
Primary DSLs
These lists are available to all BOMcheck accounts:
- In Declaration Tools for all Suppliers (and all mSuite and pSuite users)
- In Supplier Request and Retrieve Data tools for Manufacturer and Professional accounts
Additional DSLs
These lists are available to the following BOMcheck accounts:
- In Declaration Tools for all Suppliers (and all mSuite and pSuite users)
- In Supplier Request and Retrieve Data tools for Professional accounts only
- Note: any manufacturer who has received a request to declare against Additional DSLs will be able to forward these requests onward (upstream) and will be able to view and use relevant requested declaration data (downstream)
