A new release of the IUCLID software includes an updated poison centre notification (PCN) format that allows companies to make group submissions for their mixtures. Other improvements for data preparation and submission are also available.

IUCLID has been updated with new features for companies preparing notifications to poison centres. The new features include free text information to complement the picklist options available in IUCLID, and a new ‘dossier viewer’ that helps users compile notification information into an easy-to-view, web-based report before submitting. More improvements to the tool are foreseen in May for users preparing their notifications online.

If you missed our webinar on 31 March on how to prepare poison centre notifications, the recording is available online. Watch the recording or take a look at the presentations and the supporting material.
