EU POPs: Manual vs Software
| Process Area | Manual (Spreadsheets) | Software (Regilient) |
|---|---|---|
| List Screening | Static sheets; lagging updates | Governed lists; threshold logic & alerts |
| Evidence Management | Email attachments; no QA | Central repository; validations & versioning |
| Derogations | Hard to track | Structured fields; reminders & expiries |
| Documentation | One-off, inconsistent | Reusable templates; audit trail |
POPs Scope & Typical Roles
| Role | Typical Actions (examples) |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer / Importer | Collect supplier evidence; screen vs. limits; maintain documentation for audits. |
| Distributor | Pass information and maintain records where applicable. |
| Quality/Compliance | Approve evidence; manage derogations; prepare responses. |
Always verify substance-specific limits, scopes, and any exemptions in the official regulation and updates.
