Qualityze Material Compliance Management: Helping Enterprises to Streamline the Planning, Scheduling, and Execution of Compliance Assessments for Various Regulatory Requirements
Most companies need to evaluate their supply chains to comply with various regulations such as Conflict Mineral, Reach, and RoHS. A periodic review is necessary during due diligence and should be responsive to changing information regarding smelters and customer inquiries. Many companies would remove smelters considered high-risk from their supply chain. Nevertheless, companies can either remove or retain the smelter and should make this choice based on their policies and position regarding using conflict minerals from unethical sources.
However, performing the entire process manually is both time-consuming and labor-intensive. Implementing next-generation software like Qualityze to manage material compliance, periodic review of smelters used by their suppliers, documents, and reporting is the most innovative solution for enterprises.

Map all the supply-chain components in a centralized database.
For a better understanding of compliance, it is necessary to comprehend the relationship of all the supply-chain components including suppliers, sub-suppliers, materials, products, facilities and much more. Qualityze Material Compliance Management simplifies this for you by mapping all the supplier-related components in a centralized database, where you can easily track them.
- Supplier Details
- Supplier Contacts
- Smelter List
- Hazardous Substance list
- Product details

- Attachments, and more.
By having all the information in one place, enterprises can gain a better understanding of every aspect of the product component’s quality and supply chain. This allows them to identify and eliminate risks more efficiently than ever before. Furthermore, the database enables you to store the documents that demonstrate compliance with Conflict Mineral, REACH, RoHS, and other regulations, serving as evidence to be produced during audits and regulatory checks.

Track the changes in regulatory requirements for material compliance.

With Qualityze Material Compliance Management, you can regularly perform compliance assessments for different regulatory requirements to identify gaps and risks that need to be addressed immediately. Typically, these activities are carried out in accordance with various regulations at different intervals. Compliance with conflict minerals rule requires one assessment per year. In REACH and RoHS compliance, assessments, audits, and tests need to be conducted in response to any updates and changes in regulations. Qualityze can fulfill all such assessment needs based on the regulatory requirements you need to comply with, including California Proposition 65, FDA Latex, EU Medical device materials restrictions, Health Canada materials restrictions, US Ozone Depleting Substances, and much more.

Perform Due Diligence to Ensure Material Compliance

Managing material compliance, especially when dealing with conflict materials, is essential. As part of due diligence, you must ensure that your suppliers are sourcing from compliant smelters or vendors. Qualityze Material Compliance Management Solution helps you keep track of supplier sources to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
It simplifies the process of due diligence for the materials you need for building a quality product.
Utilize In-built Reporting Template for Material Compliance Declaration
When an organization is small and does not have a lot of compliance data, simple tools such as spreadsheets may be adequate. However, as the business matures, the complexity of compliance data increases. In this situation, it becomes cumbersome to use spreadsheets to track material names, CAS numbers, substance names, and weight.
Qualityze Material Compliance Management with pre-built data templates, on the other hand, makes the process much more streamlined and structured. By using industry-standard templates (like the reporting template for conflict minerals), organizations can better understand compliance requirements and close compliance gaps. Additionally, these templates can be used to identify non-compliance areas and prevent their recurrence.

Identify, Investigate and Mitigate Compliance Risks

Businesses worldwide need to understand how local, national, and international laws impact supply chains and respond accordingly. Unfortunately, organizations are often scared of non-compliance, which causes them to react impulsively to new regulations without sufficient knowledge of how they apply. The result is panic and chaos. Keeping up with regulatory updates and changes will prevent this situation, and quickly assessing how these requirements apply to their supply chains will help organizations avoid compliance risks.
Qualityze Material Compliance Management is an integrated solution that helps you identify, investigate, and mitigate compliance risks in a timely manner.
