ON THE WEB Video tutorial on 'Nanomaterials in IUCLID 5' has been released
The tutorial on how to include information on nanomaterials in IUCLID5 illustrates in practice how registrants can explicitly report when a nanoform has been used in (experimental) studies. The tutorial follows the instructions given in the IUCLID User Manual 'Nanomaterials in IUCLID5'. It will help registrants to prepare or update registration dossiers for substances that are nanomaterials or include nanoforms. Give us your feedback for the development of IUCLID 6
A survey has been launched to collect feedback on choices made during the early stages of the IUCLID 6 project. Companies and organisations interested in developing and integrating other applications with IUCLID, are invited to sign up to play a role in the IUCLID 6 project. IUCLID users interested in participating in testing activities are also invited to express their interest. Have your say by Friday 5 April 2013. Your feedback will help us to know whether we are moving in the right direction. Questions & Answers for downstream users updated The new version of the document includes an explanation of the obligation on reporting different classification to that of supplier, when this is needed and how to do it. It also clarifies when formulators need to report to ECHA, the options available for downstream user reports, and finally, how to withdraw or amend downstream user reports. Register now - Webinar: How and when downstream users need to report to ECHA The webinar gives an overview of when downstream users need to report to ECHA, including when to report classification differences. The two options for reporting are outlined, namely using the web-form or submitting a IUCLID dossier via REACH-IT. How to use the webform and the conditions of use template is described in more detail. How ECHA, in turn, uses this information is outlined. The webinar takes place on Monday 8 April, from 11:00 to 14:00 Helsinki time (GMT +2). Open positions |
