Updated PCN format and improved IT tools support amended Annex VIII solutions

A new release of the IUCLID software includes an updated Poison Centre Notification format that support the solutions introduced by the European Commission’s second amendment of Annex VIII to CLP – in particular, derogations for fuels, construction products (standard formulas) and the cross-sector concept of interchangeable components. The second amendment has been adopted by the Commission and is expected to be published in November 2020.

Improvements have also been introduced for the latest version of IUCLID and IUCLID Cloud assisting the user to prepare a notification. New features include a navigable and editable table of contents making it easier to explore through the notification data. Additional update reasons have been included such as ‘expansion of market area’ and a new picklist has been added to include justifications when the pH is not available.
