Supplier Accounts

Overview

The Supplier account type enables Authorised Individuals (AI) at your company to publish unlimited substance declarations (RCDs & FMDs) for the part numbers that you supply to your manufacturing customers. You can follow the expert regulatory guidance in the RCD tool to reduce your sample testing costs or you can choose to make FMDs so that BOMcheck can auto-generate RCDs for you each time DSLs are updated. Your declarations can be made available to all of your manufacturing customers using BOMcheck or made available to select customers using BOMcheck's confidentiality settings. You can even create confidential FMDs and allow the resultant RCDs to be viewable by certain customer to fully protect your product and supply-chain intellectual property. You may also email RCDs directly to any of your customers who do not yet have a manufacturer account on BOMcheck.

Tools available:

• Declaration Tools
• Assembly Tool
• Mapping Tool
• Retrieve Data Tools
• Material Risk Database

Setting Up

Online Application Form

To start set up of your Supplier account your company must appoint an Authorised Individuals who may complete the online application form.

Alternatively, for Supplier accounts with many Authorised Individuals, you may request an invoice from BOMcheckAdmin@sphera.com and by bank transfer. Supplier's who qualify for a free Supplier account may also request access from this mailbox.

The application process and use of BOMcheck can be summarised by the following steps:

1. Supplier applies to join BOMcheck:
   • Appoint AI(s) to make declarations on BOMcheck
   • AI(s) complete online application form
   • Pay €329/annual by credit card or request invoice via BOMcheckAdmin@sphera.com
2. BOMcheck approves supplier application:
   • Verification of supplier details
   • Validate AI(s) email addresses
   • Grant access to the BOMcheck shared platform
3. Supplier AI makes substance declarations:
   • Follow guidance and training to make RCDs and/or FMDs
   • Receive regular updates on new substance restrictions
   • Update declarations for new substances as required

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 Individuals (AI) to make declarations for the same range of part numbers, for example, to share the workload or provide cover when one person is on holiday or off sick. In this case, each AI must use the same supplier DUNS number when they create their own supplier account on BOMcheck.

Please note: You should avoid several AIs registering using different DUNS numbers if they will make declarations for the same supplier company.
