CLH report template successfully implemented in IUCLID

In Europe, substances and mixtures are classified, labelled, and packaged under the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 to protect human health and the environment from their exposure. In the past, data was manually transferred into a report template and submitted as a Harmonized Classification and Labelling (CLH) Report. To improve this process, the ECHA project Implementation of a Harmonized Classification and Labelling Report template for the IUCLID Report Generator Open procedure aimed to integrate CLH report templates into IUCLID, enhancing automation and efficiency in data reuse. IUCLID (International Uniform ChemicaL Information Database) is already used as a database and management system for various chemical substance properties and study data across different regulations. With this implementation, substance data stored in IUCLID can now be automatically utilized for CLH reports.

As part of the project, the individual IUCLID data fields were first mapped to the latest ECHA CLH report document. Based on this mapping, the CLH report template was then integrated into the IUCLID report generator. Additionally, a user manual was created to facilitate its application. The project was successfully completed in 2024 by the multidisciplinary project team at Fraunhofer ITEM, and the results will soon be available on the IUCLID6 server.
