Product compliance can look like an alphabet soup of RoHS , REACH , SCIP , POP , CLP , IEC
and IPC . The underlying shape is simple. Law flows down, and data flows up to meet it.
International agreements set the direction. The EU turns them into binding
regulations. Companies prove they comply by exchanging substance data through
standard formats. Click any node to open its entry.

Tip
A few cross-links don't fit the neat tiers. CLP hazard
classifications feed which substances become SVHCs under
REACH, and the Waste Framework
Directive is what created the SCIP database.
The tiers above are the curated view. Below is the live knowledge graph: every

Whatever the regulation, the underlying job is the same. Know what's in your product,
declare it in a standard format, check it against the rules, and prove it.
