Ausführung 8.0

🔁 Start im Mai 2024

Wir freuen uns, die Einführung von BOMCheck Professional bekannt zu geben, der neuesten Ergänzung unserer Suite von Compliance-Lösungen. Mit der neuen Stufe Professional kann Sphera der Industrie in den kommenden Jahren Lösungen zur Einhaltung von Inhaltsstoffen auf Unternehmensebene anbieten.

PFAS-Lösung für Umfang und Skalierung

Im Rahmen der ersten Markteinführung wird BOMcheck Professional neue Tools zur Verfügung stellen, die den Prozess der Erfassung, Verwaltung und Berichterstattung für komplexe PFAS-Anforderungen in der Lieferkette verbessern sollen, angefangen mit der Aufnahme von zwei neuen Listen für deklarierbare Substanzen (DSL):

1. PFAS-Liste der IEC-Behörden — zur Ausrichtung der Elektronikindustrie
2. BOMCheck PFAS-Liste — für einen breiten behördlichen Geltungsbereich

Beide neuen PFAS-Listen werden allen Lieferanten ohne zusätzliche Kosten zur Verfügung stehen. Lieferanten werden auch von der neuen RCD-Funktion profitieren, die den Aufwand für Anfragen von Umfragen für große, komplexe Listen im Zusammenhang mit PFAS und ähnlichen Gesetzen, die in Zukunft auf der Plattform veröffentlicht werden, reduzieren wird. Im Gegenzug wird die neue Funktion dafür sorgen, dass Hersteller auch in Zukunft qualitativ hochwertige Daten und Antwortquoten von ihren Lieferanten erhalten, da die Anforderungen an die Einhaltung der Vorschriften für Stoffe immer größer werden.

Warum BOMCheck Professional?

• Neues RCD-Tooling: Typeahead-Suchverbindungen für eine verbesserte Datenerfassung, beginnend mit PFAS-Listen. Neue optionale CAS-Checker-Funktion zur automatischen Durchführung von Konformitätsberechnungen anhand von PFAS-Listen. Senken Sie den Umfrageaufwand, erhöhen Sie die Datenqualität.
• Zusätzliche DSL-Umfragen: Erweiterte Umfrageoptionen, angefangen mit neuen PFAS-Listen. In Kürze gibt es Verbesserungen für PoPs, TSCA und andere regulatorisch angepasste Listen.
• Neue Funktion zum Abrufen von Daten: Neue und verbesserte Suchfunktionen für Compliance-Daten mit optimierten Suchkriterien, Filtern, Auswahl und verbesserten Exporttools.
• Plattformlösungen für Unternehmen: Verbesserte Plattformfunktionen wie Single Sign On (SSO), verbesserte Analysen, zusätzliche Stofflisten und Verbesserungen der vorhandenen Tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still use my existing account?

Yes, all existing accounts will remain active and accessible. Later in 2024 there will be name changes and improvements into self-serve account management for all BOMcheck accounts. More information will follow during #SteerCo sessions.

A small amount of the new and existing Supplier Request and Retrieve Data functionality will be reserved for BOMcheck Professional customers. Please see Will I lose anything if we do not choose BOMcheck Professional? below for more information.

What are the additional/new functionalities?

Many new features will be available upon the launch of BOMcheck Professional and in the months and years following the launch.

Immediate access:

1. Supplier Requests for Additional Lists (BOMcheck Professional accounts only)
2. Retrieve Data for Additional Lists (BOMcheck Professional accounts only)
3. Declarations for Additional Lists (all accounts at no extra cost)

Future access upon release:

1. Single Sign On (SSO)
2. Advanced Analytics
3. New DSLs in the Additional List Context
4. Many other future improvements by Enhancement Request and Product Roadmap

What is the cost of BOMcheck Professional?

Revenue dependant initial cost with Authorised Representative (AI) seating plan (€329/annual per user). Discounts are available for 5+ user seats. Existing users may benefit from an onboarding discount in year one. Your account will auto-renew each year. You can cancel your account, or amend your specified number of AIs at any time.

While BOMcheck Professional is a premium tier, Sphera has designed the pricing schedule to provide substantial value and ROI given the expanding complexity and tooling required for the current supply-chain substance compliance landscape. Additionally, the revenue dependant costs make the tier accessible for all supply-chain actors.

BOMcheck Professional premium tier will also be highly cost competitive with other solution providers in the supply-chain substance compliance landscape.

Will I lose anything if we do not choose BOMcheck Professional?

If you are a current user of BOMcheck all of your existing compliance data, requests, assemblies etc. will remain on the platform and will always be available to you. You will still be able to use all of the tools in BOMcheck and you will benefit from many of the improvements which have and continue to be made to the platform.

Suppliers will be able to make declarations for the Additional Lists at no extra costs. Supplier Requests and Retrieve Data tools for compliance data in the Additional Lists context will be reserved for BOMcheck Professional accounts.

Please see Are there any XML changes with BOMcheck Professional? for details on Substance Category Lists changes applicable to XML and other export types from BOMcheck.

Are there any XML changes with BOMcheck Professional?

In May 2024 The current PFAS Substance Category entry in the Industry Substances List will be replaced with a new PFAS entry in the new BOMcheck PFAS List. All existing supplier disclosure information will be migrated to this new Substance Category and improved data linking to the underlying BOMcheck PFAS reference list will be created where possible.

More details on the specific XML changes can be found in the following example XML files:

IPC 1752 - List Structures (May 2024) ZIP

In January 2025 The Other Regulated Substances and Industry Substances lists will be migrated to the Additional Lists context. Some Substance Categories will then be extracted to regulatory aligned, and separately maintain lists (PFAS, POPs, TSCA, etc). Suppliers will be able to make declarations for the Additional Lists at no extra costs. Supplier Requests and Retrieve Data tools for compliance data in the Additional Lists context will be reserved for BOMcheck Professional accounts.

Do my suppliers have to pay to use the platform?

As the BOMcheck platform has been designed such that suppliers own their own data and benefit from BOMcheck tooling, suppliers will continue to pay a small cost (€329/annual) to access and use the platform.

For BOMcheck Professional accounts there are options available to help ensure maximal supplier onboarding and coverage which can be discussed on request.

What if my suppliers do not choose BOMcheck Professional?

As Sphera will continue to provide existing and improved functionality to all BOMcheck account types, your suppliers may opt to continue using their current accounts on BOMcheck.

As your collection of Additional List compliance data (PFAS, TSCA, POPs etc.) may be dependant on your suppliers cascading requests further down the supply-chain, any mSuite (Superuser) account targeted with a request for Additional List declarations will be able to forward that request on to their suppliers to ensure requests and compliance data can flow throughout your supply-chain.
