The manual explains how to structure the substance identification information in IUCLID 5 in accordance with REACH-IT.

Helsinki, 21 June 2010 - The document gives illustrated step-by-step instructions on how to fill in sections 1.1 and 1.2 of IUCLID 5 for specific substance types including:

• Mono-constituent, multi-constituent or UVCB substances;
• Multi-constituent substances for which the individual constituents are registered;
• Hydrates covered by the registration of the corresponding anhydrous substance;
• Well-defined substances for which an acceptable deviation from the naming conventions in the Guidance for identification and naming of substances under REACH is applied;
• Isomers; and
• Substances without a specific EC inventory entry.

The manual also explains which systematic verifications REACH-IT applies to registration dossiers to ensure coherence of the substance identity related information in the database.

In addition, technical instructions are given on how registrants should take into account the substance identity information specified at the pre-registration or inquiry stage when creating a joint submission and preparing the registration dossier. Finally, specific considerations are made in the case of a pre-SIEF having merged or split.
