Product Compliance
As a manufacture producing electronic components, you are required to keep track of all the materials used in your products. This is a comprehensive but necessary task, as you are obliged to do so by international regulations, which requires you to share your compliance data with suppliers, customers, and regulatory authorities.
This is challenging however, as chemical reports and specifications are traditionally scattered across multiple solutions and databases. Without proper visibility in your compliance data, you will not be able to calculate and provide this information. Consequentially, you will face non-compliance, resulting in not only costly fines but lost market share and discreditation. Bluestar PLM helps you to ensure your products stay compliant with international substance regulations based on RoHS, REACH and other global directives.
Key Benefits
Centralize compliance data in a single solution
Provide everyone in your organization easy access to compliance information, in a single solution with a centralized repository for data on product substances and the chemical specifications stated by regulations.
Ensure all your stakeholders stay compliant
Importing and exporting full material disclosures (FMD’s) allows you to share knowledge with everyone in your supply chain who depends on it to stay compliant.
Gain access to crucial chemical data from a third-party data provider
By easily importing reliant data from a Component Library (e.g., Silicon Expert), you will always have access to substance lists and chemical specifications for your products.
Enhance compliance through automation
Automatically synchronize with the chemical specifications and calculate your product compliance, instead of having to do this manually, resulting in costly errors, rework or products rejected by the market.

Key Features
Exemption management
Assign approved exemptions to your items, so you will know when allowances permit you to make products that otherwise go against regulations.
Compliance calculation
Bluestar Compliance is capable of automatically calculating the mass and concentration of each substance against the thresholds of specifications. When calculations are easy to perform like this, you reduce the risk of making non-compliant products.
Importing and exporting full material disclosures
Import chemical data and full material disclosure reports into Bluestar Compliance or export them to your suppliers and customers, to ensure all your partners and stakeholders are able to document compliance as they are obliged to. The data is imported automatically in a controlled manner, eliminating the need for manually mapping the data.
Alternative substance names
Any substance can easily be found in the Bluestar system, as you can search for it by both its trivial and chemical name; i.e. lead = Pb.
Phase out products end-of-life
Define and manage the last stages of the electrical component’s life, and determine when to stop marketing, selling or reworking for sustaining the product.
Manage manufacturing items
Every manufacturing item gives you a full material disclosure with all chemical data associated with that item. Centralizes all your compliance data in one system for everyone to access.
Revision control
Revise and manage all your manufacturing items and associated data, so you will always know which is the latest version. With revisions, you can also backtrack to find out how and when errors or mistakes happened during engineering change processes.
Where-used analyses
Reveals all the manufacturing items, exemptions and specifications containing any particular substance. Makes you aware of which products and substances are affected by regulated specifications across your entire product line.
Component Library integration
Seamlessly import and map reliable chemical data on manufacturing items, substances, and specifications from a Component Library (e.g., Silicon Expert), which you need to follow as a compliance obligation. Saves you the effort of doing otherwise error-prone work when manually transferring data from one system to another.
