7 workgroups gathering more than one hundred of International Aerospace Environmental Group ® (IAEG) members met during 3 days, 2022 October 24 to 26, covering key environmental challenges in the Aerospace & Defense domain.

Among them, Jean-Pierre THERET, ENOVIA Materials Compliance and Data Exchange Standards Specialist, attended a session of working group 1 on “chemicals reporting” focused on how companies deal with their duties against the EU REACH regulation regarding their components under “dual use” meaning used in both civil and military fields. They should decide how to best balance between confidentiality as requested by ITAR or Export Control rules and their regulatory duties when no clear defense exception has been established in some European countries.

EU REACH regulations on hazardous substances' evaluation, disclosure, authorization, and restriction are really the main drivers for authorities to ban chemicals from the European market; that creates new duties all article manufacturers have to support like disclosing their articles and goods in the SCIP (Substances of Concern In Product) database if they contain substances of very high concern (SVHC) over the 0.1% threshold.

Dassault Systèmes experts support this sector by developing tools and data exchanges standard facilitating data collection in the supply chain for this regulation.
