New IUCLID introduces fields for reporting nanomaterials

Upgrade of IUCLID (6.4) is now available. It includes new data fields for reporting the characteristics of nanoforms and sets of nanoforms, which registrants who intend to submit registrations for substances in nanoform must use as of 30 October 2019. It also features updated modules to validate the new reporting formats and check how the data will be published. Join our webinar on 12 November 2019 to learn about the data requirements for the characterisation of nanoforms and practical examples on how to use the new IUCLID fields for reporting them.

The release also introduces an improved web interface.

SCIP database notification format included in IUCLID

The technical format for the future SCIP database notification format is included in the latest public version of IUCLID (v6.4.2). The format will be used later to prepare SCIP database notifications for substances of very high concern in articles.

ECHA plans to release a IUCLID prototype in early 2020 that will support the preparation of notifications. Companies or service providers that aim to prepare notifications from their own systems can already use the format to start their preparations. More information on how to use the technical format and how the system-to-system submission will be implemented will follow soon.

ECHA Submission portal updated to include system-to-system service

An updated version of the ECHA Submission portal has been released. It introduces improvements for those submitting information to the EU poison centres. The most important updates are:

System-to-system service, which allows companies who have decided to prepare their notifications in their own IT-systems to automate their submission to the Member State bodies through the portal.
Upgrade of the PCN format to include, for example, new EU Hazard statements.
New features in the dossier preparation tool.
