Compliance Management

Benefits

• Efficiently collect and manage compliance documentation as part of a centralized product master record.
• Perform accurate and consistent conformity assessments against multiple compliance requirements using a common compliance framework.
• Provide instant compliance status across the entire product lifecycle with BOM-based compliance visibility and comprehensive reporting tools.

Details

• Revision control: Manage your entire BOM including mechanical, electrical and part types (purchased or expensed) under revision control to provide the basis for a complete and accurate compliance record.
• Manage multiple requirements: Track part compliance status, including exemptions, against multiple regulatory requirements (RoHS-5, RoHS-6, JIG-A, etc.) as an overlay to the Bill of Materials in a Compliance BOM.
• Requirement propagation: Automatically propagate compliance requirements from a top level assembly to all the individual components in its BOM.
• Compliance risk tracking: Track risk level by part, ensuring consistency in compliance evidence in order to demonstrate due diligence.
• Substance tracking by manufacturer part: View substance data for each manufacturer part.
• Partner access for BOM management: Grant partners controlled access to evaluate your BOMs and recommend substitutes for non-compliant components. Enable them to upload and attach electronic documents directly to component records.
• Compliance rationale and evidence: Capturing compliance rationale and store manufacturer part compliance evidence like Certificates of Compliance, Material Declarations (in PDF, IPC-1752, etc.), part screening reports and supplier audits directly within the product record.
• Categorize evidence type: Track Certificate of Compliance, Material Declaration document formats such as “IPC-1752 class 3” to precisely characterize the evidence available to support compliance judgments.
• Easy data import: Use industry standard formats (PDX, IPC 1752) to receive and export data.
• Item level compliance indicators: Gain instant visibility to the compliance status of any item against multiple compliance requirements.
• BOM compliance view: Quickly determine which items are subject to compliance requirements and review the compliance status for all items on a given BOM.
• Superseded revisions: Provide compliance reports for current and superseded revisions of a product as required by regulatory authorities.
• Compliance-based search: Enable efficient Design for Environment (DfE) at the design stage with compliance-based search and relevant compliance information at the engineer’s fingertips.
• Compliance analytics: Use automatically generated percentage completion status to gain real-time visibility into compliance status.
