Please contact HiSiaddi customer service if you need consultation on compliance issues of high-activity ruthenium-based hydrogenation catalysts.
The client is CHEMSWISS AG, a high-end fine chemical enterprise based in Zurich, Switzerland, specializing in pharmaceutical intermediates, premium fragrances and electronic chemicals supplying multiple European Fortune 500 corporations. The firm enforces stringent compliance standards including EU REACH, GMP, ICH Q7, CLP regulations, Swiss chemical ordinances and food contact material safety specifications, representing a typical overseas medium-to-high-end client.
Procurement Demand: 2.5% Ru/C high-activity ruthenium-based hydrogenation catalyst for selective hydrogenation of anti-cancer drug intermediates, annual procurement volume of 200 kg. Requirements include low-temperature high activity, low impurities, long service life and full batch traceability. Core Pain Points: Missing EU compliance documentation, incomplete dangerous goods transport qualifications, non-compliant SVHC Substance of Very High Concern screening and incomplete batch traceability systems. Two prior small-batch export shipments were detained by customs and delivery delayed due to incomplete documentation, non-compliant labeling and excessive impurities, exposing the client to production shutdown and order breach risks. The client urgently commissioned HiSiaddi to conduct full compliance rectification, complete missing documentation, standardize transport protocols and guarantee on-time delivery.
1. Severe REACH Non-Compliance Blocking EU Market Access
· Missing REACH Registration: Annual export volume of 200 kg exceeds 1 ton threshold mandating formal REACH registration with ECHA, yet the manufacturer only supplied basic quality inspection reports with no registration documents, technical dossiers (TD) or chemical safety reports (CSR).
· Failed SVHC Screening: No full screening against the latest 2026 ECHA SVHC list covering 253 substances. Trace lead (12 ppm), cadmium (2.1 ppm) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (0.8 ppm) were detected, exceeding the EU limit of ≤0.1 ppm.
· Non-Conforming MSDS & CLP Labels: Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) failed to adopt the latest 16-section GHS standard, lacking toxicity and eco-risk data for ruthenium compounds. Packaging labels omitted UN numbers, hazard pictograms and multi-lingual EU warning statements, violating CLP regulations.
1. Incomplete Dangerous Goods Transport Qualifications & Documentation Causing Customs Clearance Delays
· Missing Hazard Classification & UN Number: Ruthenium-based catalysts fall under Class 9 miscellaneous dangerous goods (UN 3191). The manufacturer completed no hazard classification and lacked UN number certification, dangerous goods packaging certificates and IMDG transport documentation.
· Non-Compliant Packaging: Ordinary carton packaging without anti-leakage, anti-static and shock-absorbing protection failed dangerous goods transport standards, creating leakage hazards.
· Incorrect Customs Declaration Documents: Misclassified HS code as general chemical goods with no dangerous goods attribute disclosure or conformity statements, triggering customs detention and inspection.
1. Deficient Pharmaceutical-Grade Compliance & Batch Traceability Systems
· Missing GMP / Food Contact Certifications: Catalysts deployed for pharmaceutical intermediate production require EU GMP certification and food contact material safety reports, yet the manufacturer only provided industrial-grade inspection certificates with no cleanroom production documentation.
· Incomplete Batch Traceability: No raw material sourcing records, full-process production QC data, full analysis reports for Ru loading/dispersion and impurities, violating EU full-lifecycle traceability mandates.
1. Domestic Export Qualification & Precious Metal Declaration Deficiencies
· Expired Hazardous Chemical Registration Certificate: The manufacturer’s national Hazardous Chemical Registration Certificate expired, with no new chemical environmental management registration completed, violating domestic export regulatory requirements.
· Non-Standard Precious Metal Export Declaration: Ruthenium is classified as a precious metal requiring separate declaration of content and value, yet the manufacturer failed to itemize ruthenium component values, triggering customs price audit risks.
HiSiaddi assembled a cross-functional team of REACH compliance specialists, dangerous goods transport consultants, pharmaceutical-grade QC officers and senior customs brokers, delivering a six-core solution covering compliance rectification, document completion, qualification processing, packaging upgrade, traceability system construction and full-process tracking, closing all compliance gaps within 45 days.
1. Full REACH Compliance Rectification to Secure EU Market Access Complete REACH Registration in Two Phases:
· Short-Term: Complete REACH pre-registration, submit basic substance physicochemical and toxicological data to obtain a pre-registration number for temporary customs clearance eligibility.
· Long-Term: Collaborate with EU local compliance agencies to compile ECHA-compliant technical dossiers (TD) and chemical safety reports (CSR), complete formal registration and secure official ECHA registration numbers (12-month cycle).
Full SVHC Screening & Impurity Rectification:
· Entrust CNAS/GLP accredited third-party laboratories to conduct full elemental and organic compound screening against the 2026 updated SVHC list of 253 substances.
· Optimize manufacturing processes: Deep acid washing of activated carbon carriers for heavy metal removal, high-purity purification of ruthenium precursors and strict post-process control of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon residues. Post-rectification test results: Lead <0.05 ppm, cadmium <0.02 ppm, no detectable polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, fully meeting EU limits.
MSDS & CLP Label Compliance Upgrade:
· Compile bilingual Chinese-English MSDS aligned with the latest 16-section GHS standard, supplementing acute toxicity, skin/eye irritation and ecotoxicity data for ruthenium compounds in compliance with EU CLP regulations.
· Design EU-standard dangerous goods labels clearly displaying UN 3191, Class 9 hazard pictograms, four-language warning statements (Chinese, English, German, French), batch numbers, expiry dates and emergency contact information, affixed prominently on all packaging.
1. Full Dangerous Goods Transport Compliance to Eliminate Customs Clearance Barriers
· Complete official hazard classification via nationally recognized dangerous goods classification institutions to obtain formal UN 3191 designation.
· Secure Dangerous Goods Packaging Certificate & Packaging Upgrade: Submit applications to maritime authorities for dangerous goods transport packaging certification (approved within 5 days). Upgrade packaging to anti-static, leak-proof high-strength double-layer iron drums lined with food-grade PE bags and shock-absorbing filling materials, fully compliant with IMDG dangerous goods packaging standards.
· Standardize Customs Declaration Documents & Conformity Statements: Correct HS code to 38151200 (precious metal catalysts), truthfully disclose dangerous goods attributes, UN number, ruthenium content and component value. Issue Import Dangerous Goods Enterprise Conformity Statements certifying compliance with EU safety technical specifications, filed alongside MSDS, packaging certificates and classification reports for customs clearance.
1. Pharmaceutical-Grade Compliance & Traceability System Construction to Meet High-End Client Standards
· Supplement Pharmaceutical-Grade Compliance Documentation: Coordinate with the manufacturer to supply GMP cleanroom certification, pharmaceutical-grade production qualifications and food contact material safety test reports. Compile bilingual Chinese-English pharmaceutical-grade QC manuals defining impurity control standards, clean production workflows and batch inspection protocols.
