Substance Registration Practicalities
22 Sep 2010 - London
If you are a joint registrant in a SIEF then you’ll still need to prepare your own registration dossier in IUCLID5 using, as a minimum, your own substance identity data. You’ll then need to export the dossier to REACH IT, submit it to ECHA and pay a fee.
This 1-day workshop will use a combination of teaching, demonstrations and practical exercises. We’ll demonstrate every step of the process so that you know exactly what you need to do. If you need a helping hand in understanding the practicalities of how to generate and submit a registration dossier then this is the course for you. Having compiled all the data you need to support your registration, we’ll help you:
- with the decisions you need to make to identify the data to incorporate into your IUCLID data set
- find the fields to enter the data in IUCLID5
This hands-on workshop will be of particular interest to registrants who opted for ‘Involved’ or ‘Passive’ roles in one or more SIEFs working towards the 2010 deadline.
This day complements our "IUCLID5 – Training for REACH Registrants” day which focuses on the software functionality of IUCLID5.
