The gaps are hard to see.
The work is hard to ignore.
Regulations such as EU REACH, RoHS, and California Prop 65 demand ongoing, specialist-level oversight across every supplier. Without a mapped, connected view of who's compliant, programs stall — exposing organizations to product bans, retailer chargebacks, and litigation.
Engineering Staff Diverted to Compliance
Technical personnel spend weeks pursuing supplier documentation instead of developing products, often submitting incomplete files as a result.
Consultant Reports Go Unaddressed
One-time engagements identify gaps but leave no party responsible for resolving them. The exposure remains until an audit occurs.
Supplier Documentation Goes Unreturned
Average supplier response rates fall below 40 percent. Without dedicated outreach, compliance programs stall indefinitely.
Regulatory Requirements Continue to Evolve
REACH SVHC candidate lists are updated twice annually. Prop 65 listings are added on a continuous basis. Remaining current requires dedicated, ongoing attention.
