バージョン 8.0
🔁 2024 年 5 月発売
当社のコンプライアンスソリューションスイートに新たに加わったBOMCheck Professionalの発売を発表できることを嬉しく思います。新しいプロフェッショナルレベルは、Spheraが今後数年間にわたって企業レベルの物質コンプライアンスソリューションを業界に提供するための手段となります。
PFAS スコープ&スケールソリューション
BOMcheck Professionalは、最初の立ち上げの一環として、複雑なサプライチェーンPFAS要件の収集、管理、報告のプロセスを向上させるように設計された新しいツールを提供します。まずは、2つの新しい申告対象物質リスト（DSL）の導入です。
1.IEC機関PFASリスト — エレクトロニクス業界の調整用 2.BOMCheck PFASリスト — 幅広い規制対象範囲に対応
新しいPFASリストはいずれも、追加費用なしですべてのサプライヤーが利用できるようになります。サプライヤーも新しいRCD機能の恩恵を受けることができます。これにより、PFASや今後プラットフォームに導入される類似の法律に関連する大規模で複雑なリストに対するアンケート依頼の諸経費が削減されます。また、この新機能により、物質コンプライアンス要件が高まる中、メーカーはサプライヤーから質の高いデータと回答率を引き続き受け取ることができるようになります。

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 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?
Full details of all coming DSL and export (XML, CSV etc.) changes:
BOMcheck List & Export Change - Timeline Details PDFIn 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) ZIPIn 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.
