Media enquiries: ECHA Press

A new version of IUCLID is available on the IUCLID website. Registrants can
already install IUCLID 5.2 to be ready to submit dossiers in the new REACH-IT version which will be released early March 2010. IUCLID 5.0/5.1 must still be used in order to submit dossiers with the current version of REACH-IT.

Helsinki, 15 February 2010 - The new version of IUCLID includes several updates of the OECD Harmonised Templates used to report information from studies on chemicals. The latest revisions of the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling and of its European implementation (the CLP Regulation) have also been integrated. Sections 3.2, 3.5 and 3.6 of IUCLID have been overhauled for reporting information on uses. Endpoint summaries, where experts can store the outcome of their hazard assessment per endpoint, have also been extended in order to optimise the use of IUCLID with chemical assessment tools.

In addition, several other functionalities have been enhanced in IUCLID 5.2.

Installation of IUCLID 5.2 and submission to REACH-IT
IUCLID 5.0/5.1 must continue to be used for the preparation of dossiers that will be
submitted before the switch to a new REACH-IT version in early March 2010.

IUCLID 5.0/5.1 data can be imported into IUCLID 5.2 - but not the reverse! - and IUCLID 5.2 must be used for the preparation of dossiers for submission after the switch to the new REACH-IT version (see ECHA's news alert published on 04/02/2010).

For more information, installation manuals are included in the installation packages of the distributed and standalone versions of IUCLID 5.2 that can be obtained from the IUCLID website.
