The labelling update brings new consequences for CEOs CFOs and regulatory leaders which extend beyond its basic requirements. The directive requires organizations to track their materials throughout the production process and provide proof of recycled content and supply chain verification which must meet EN 15343 certification requirements. Companies that depend on disconnected spreadsheet systems and manual compliance processes will experience greater operational risks because of their need to conduct audits and their lack of supplier information and their potential to lose market access. Manufacturers must now disclose recovered PVC materials which contain 0.1% or more lead content while confirming which usage categories meet EU chemical regulations for their products. The requirements need organizations to show complete visibility of their product materials which includes all supplier documents and compliance papers throughout their manufacturing sites.
