ESCOM XML – how to
push implementation?
Christian Bögi, BASF SE
4rd BDI Workshop
“SDS Communication via XML”
26. October 2016
Discrepancy
Obviously, exchanging information on exposure scenarios via ESCOM XML
is beneficial to everybody in the supply chain…
…but: how many ESCom XMLs have been sent and received so far?
626.10.2016
Why?
The IT perspective
Tools available (ESCom XML, ESCom phrases)
Implementation advanced
Benefit recognized, however
– Explicit customer demand required
The industry perspective
Benefit recognized, however
– Currently no partner to exchange XMLs with
– Illustrative business case (including financial advantages) missing
726.10.2016
What may be helpful?
A (pilot) project involving several players along the supply chain,
preferably
Registrant
Formulator
Distributor
(End-) User
Demonstrating that XML is fit for purpose and actually works in real life
Delivers approximations of savings in terms of time and money

Lead Component Identification (LCID)
Methodology
LCID
Lead Component Identification Methodology(LCID)
1326.10.2016
The basic premise: If the risks are controlled for the most hazardous component, then the risks from the other substances in the mixture are also likely controlled.
Identify components which drive CLP hazard classifications of
mixture
Identify Priority Substances, Lead
Components, Local effects
LCID Methodology High Level Workflow

Scenarios of
Components
Consolidate
OCs and
RMMs based
on
identifications
Embed into SDS
Append to SDS
Link to ESCom
LCID methodology is „approved“
Excel-based tool available
Already implemented into EHS software by some providers
Supports the electronical exchange via ESCom XML by (semi-) automated
processing of data
