	IUCLID Guidance Document

 

A comprehensive IUCLID Guidance Document (IUCLID 3.1.1) has been prepared by the Fraunhofer Institute of Toxicology and Aerosol Research on behalf of CEFIC and in collaboration with the European Chemicals Bureau (ECB). The main objectives of this guidance document are:

• To provide a brief overview of the structure of IUCLID and its main features, referring to the technical manuals for more detailed information where appropriate;
• To provide detailed guidance on the entry of study summaries into common and subchapter-specific fields of IUCLID;
• To provide detailed guidance on the preparation of robust study summaries in a harmonized form including the use of (electronic) sample freetexts.

This guidance document is intended for use by persons assessing study reports with the view of preparing study summaries using IUCLID, but also for those who use IUCLID data sets as a basis for conducting hazard and risk assessment.
