Supplier Accounts
Overview
The Supplier business account type enables Authorised Users at your company to publish unlimited substance declarations (RCDs & FMDs) for the part numbers that you supply to your manufacturing customers.
You will receive expert regulatory guidance to reduce the overhead on your business while making RCDs or you can choose to make FMDs and allow BOMcheck to auto-generate RCDs for you each time the regulations are updated.
Your declarations can be made available to all manufacturers or to your selected customers using confidentiality settings. You can even create confidential FMDs and allow the resultant RCDs to be viewable by certain customer to fully protect your intellectual property.
Tools available:
- Declaration Tools
- Assembly Tool

- Expert documentation and guidance
- Premium support via Sphera Customer Network (SCN)

DUNS & Users
BOMcheck stores the substance declaration data using the unique combination of your part number and your DUNS number. If two or more suppliers use the same part number, BOMcheck uses the DUNS numbers to identify the substance declarations for each of these part numbers individually. Larger companies may wish to appoint several Authorised Users to make declarations. In this case, each user must use the same supplier DUNS number when they create their own supplier account on BOMcheck.
Please note: You should avoid several Authorised Users registering using different DUNS numbers if they will be making declarations for the same supplier company.
