Accurate listing of hazardous materials
DataCross | Regulations such as those in the Hong Kong Convention [2] require accurate lists of hazardous materials on ships. Germany’s tec4U-Solutions GmbH says its material-compliance software DataCross is the first to enable the material-related requirements in the Hong Kong Convention, REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals), RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), etc to be holistically mapped and evaluated. These product liability requirements can thus be met from the development stage to procurement, production, use and processing, allowing companies to guarantee the conformity of their products with applicable laws and customer requirements while minimising their business-related and personal risks. DataCross is based on the material data communication platform MSD.web, which tec4U has been successfully operating for many years, helping companies integrate material compliance into their processes and supporting them in the operative communication of material-related data.
