IUCLID 6 updated
An update of IUCLID 6 brings three new features:
- IUCLID hyperlinks: users sharing a IUCLID database can now access certain information, e.g. a dossier, through a hyperlink.
- DNEL calculator: helps to generate derived no-effect levels for workers and the general population.
- Public API: can be used by IT developers to make IUCLID communicate with their applications.
In addition, the update contains improvements to the current functionalities and fixes to known issues. More information will be available in a webinar on Thursday 2 February.
You can download the software free-of-charge from the IUCLID website.

The new terms come from:
- Guidance on Safety data sheets
- Annex V to the CLP Regulation (updated hazard statements);
- Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R.12: Use description – new terms were added on based on users’ feedback.
ECHA-term is a multilingual terminology database supporting your work in 23 EU languages. The database now contains about 1 400 entries in English. You can consult the terms and their definitions in different languages as well as download them free of charge.

Downstream users
Use map for imaging and printing products published
The downstream sector use map for imaging and printing products is now available in the use maps library on our website.
Use maps provide information on uses and conditions of use consolidated at the sector level. Registrants supplying substances to the imaging and printing sector are strongly encouraged to use the information from the use map to prepare their 2018 registrations, when updating their existing registration dossiers and for the generation of the exposure scenarios for communication.
We encourage downstream user sectors that have not started to prepare their use maps to do so now.
