In principle, the process is straightforward: identify the rules, gather the evidence, issue a declaration. In practice, it has become one of the company&#8217;s most complex operational challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The core difficulty is how to scale combined with regulatory fragmentation. Active in more than 100 countries and multiple verticals, Sika must <strong>navigate sector-specific regulations that differ by application type, geography and use context<\/strong>. The same product placed in two locations can fall under entirely different regulatory frameworks depending on the specific infrastructure, end use, or national jurisdiction involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has intensified with the addition of <strong>horizontal EU regulations<\/strong> such as the Design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and the Construction Product Regulation (CPR). It layers new obligations on top of all existing sector-specific requirements and mandates digital declaration via a Digital Product Passport. The result is a product of regulatory requirements that grows exponentially as products, regions, and verticals multiply. All of which made the manual, fragmented approach unsustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='the-solution'  id=\"boomdevs_2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-solution\">The Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To address the complexity at its root, Sika&#8217;s Digital Product Conformity team has built a <a href=\"https:\/\/gws-sso-test.graphwise.ai\/fundamentals\/what-is-a-knowledge-graph\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>semantic knowledge graph<\/strong><\/a><strong> infrastructure.<\/strong> It consolidates, connects and makes queryable the regulatory and product knowledge scattered across the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The approach begins with a <strong>semantic representation of regulatory requirements<\/strong> \u2014 using <a href=\"https:\/\/gws-sso-test.graphwise.ai\/fundamentals\/what-is-taxonomy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">taxonomies<\/a> and controlled vocabularies to capture obligations at the precision needed for assessment. These models are connected through <a href=\"https:\/\/gws-sso-test.graphwise.ai\/fundamentals\/what-is-ontology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ontologies<\/a> that map internal processes and data sources, providing a <a href=\"https:\/\/gws-sso-test.graphwise.ai\/fundamentals\/what-is-a-semantic-layer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">semantic layer<\/a> that bridges siloed systems without requiring their modification. Rather than enforcing data quality changes at source, the team has implemented a <strong>harmonized <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gws-sso-test.graphwise.ai\/fundamentals\/what-is-metadata\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>metadata<\/strong><\/a><strong> layer<\/strong> distributed across existing sources. This allows the company to apply governance and semantic consistency centrally while leaving operational systems intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result is a <strong>virtualized knowledge graph<\/strong> that supports conformity assessment across thousands of products. This provides a connected view of regulatory requirements, internal evidence, and product data. Every declaration issued carries legal weight and the system is designed to ensure all aspects are checked in a verifiable, traceable way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='the-impact'  id=\"boomdevs_3\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-impact\">The Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><em><em>\u201c<em>The most important feature for me is the knowledge consolidation, because that&#8217;s just by the history and nature of the company has grown over time. It&#8217;s the biggest pain for me.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/em><\/p><cite><em><strong><em>Thierry Berset, Head of Global Product Conformity At Sika<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sika is at an early but critical stage of building the semantic infrastructure needed to manage product conformity at scale. <strong>The knowledge graph approach is already delivering a key benefit<\/strong>: consolidating regulatory knowledge and internal evidence into a single connected layer. This helps reduce the fragmentation that has historically made assessment slow and resource-intensive.The harmonized metadata layer \u2014 applied across existing systems without operational disruption \u2014 <strong>provides a governance model that scales across hundreds of business teams<\/strong>. As the semantic base matures, it will <strong>support Sika&#8217;s broader conformity roadmap<\/strong>: Construction product regulation&nbsp; obligations under EU regulatory framework and automated assessment checks that progressively reduce manual workload.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sika uses Graphwise Data Management Suite to manage product conformity assessment across
