New, or Improved, Functionality in WERCSmart:
Batteries and Battery-Containing Products
The Battery Stewardship feature has been enhanced to include data collection for Product Information in stand-alone battery registrations. This update ensures proper compliance data is provided to Data Recipients for batteries sold individually or included in other manufacturers' products.
Stand-Alone Batteries
Battery Characteristics data collection has been improved for stand-alone battery registrations. The new interface allows users to input detailed information about battery types, dimensions, and weights, supporting multiple battery common names for single registrations when the same formulation applies.
State of Charge data collection for certain batteries is also added. This data determines the appropriate Internation Air Transport (IATA) options during the registration process.
Battery-Containing Products
The Battery-Containing Product (BCP) registration process has been updated to allow users to select batteries based on region, type, manufacturer, and common name. This enhancement ensures that the weight data information from stand-alone battery registrations is accurately carried over to BCPs during the Hazard Review assessment.
Like Stand-Alone Batteries, Battery-Containing Products may include State of Charge data collection for the purpose of determining the appropriate Internation Air Transport (IATA) options during the registration process.
Drug Facts Labeling
A new feature has been added to collect Temperature requirements for products with Drug Facts listed on the label. This update includes a user interface that allows users to input exact values or select from predefined temperature ranges.
Looking to 2025:
We have some exciting updates coming to WERCSmart planned for 2025, so be sure to watch for updates as we venture into the New Year!
