Description: Is the SCIP database going away? Many compliance teams have heard that SCIP was repealed in 2026, but the European Commission has only proposed it. Proposal COM(2025) 986, published in December 2025 as part of the Environmental Omnibus, would remove the duty to submit new SCIP notifications to ECHA under the Waste Framework Directive. It must still pass the European Parliament and the Council and then be transposed into national law. Until that happens, SCIP notifications remain mandatory for articles placed on the EU market that contain a Candidate List SVHC above 0.1% w/w. This guide explains what the repeal proposal would change and what it leaves untouched, including REACH Article 33 communication duties. It also covers where the “repealed in October 2026” claim came from and what electronics, automotive and industrial manufacturers should do now. It shows why BOM-linked SVHC data stays valuable whatever the outcome, including for a future Digital Product Passport.
