Many of the REACH processes are supported by IT tools. Cefic recommends the use of these IT tools in order to have a harmonised approach. |
Cefic recommendation regarding the latest upgrade of IUCLID 5.2.2
This recommendation stresses the need for companies to carefully consider the necessity for their IUCLID system to be upgraded, and if they decide to do so, to plan and manage the implementation adequately.

Supply Chain Communication Tool – User interface constraints and XML format schema
The REACH registration dossiers submitted by Manufacturers & Importers of substances will include Exposure Scenarios (ES) covering the Uses of those substances. It is expected that Suppliers will undertake a process to inform the Customers of their products about the Uses that are intended to be covered by the Exposure Scenarios.
Cefic anticipates extensive and voluminous
communication between Suppliers and Customers. Therefore, Cefic has created an
ES Development and Communication Model (the ES Model).
The ES Model and the guidance on Supply Chain Communication helping user on
REACH requirements regarding ES are published in the
Document and Tools webpage.
To support the communication process following the ES Model, Cefic has also created IT requirements ( the document is also published in the Document and Tools webpage). Using them, Companies can build a Communication Tool. And this will help Manufacturers, Importers as well as Downstream Users to bring consistency and uniformity in the Communication process.
Within the IT requirement document, it is recommended to build a user interface to allow easy exchange of information. Constraints for this user interface have to be taken in account to ensure efficient and proper exchange, and an easy extraction of data via an XML file. The extensive explanations about the constraints are gathered in a document on the IT tools webpage.
User are invited to read carefully the Guidance, the IT functional requirements document as well as the interface constraints document prior to use the XML schema downloadable here

Pre-SIEFs Analyser Tool developed by Cefic and CONCAWE
SIEFs (Substance Information Exchange Fora) are formed by companies that intend to register the same substance. They are there to facilitate data sharing between the companies, and hence avoid duplication of studies and to agree classification and labeling where there is a difference between registrants.
Users can obtain or update the list of pre-SIEFs members who have pre-registered the same substance through the REACH-IT portal.
To help Industry working as easily as possible with the pre-SIEF data, Cefic and CONCAWE have developed a pre-SIEFs Analyzer tool.
The tool generates Excel sheets gathering all data from the REACH-IT pre-SIEF information. The sheets of the Pre-SIEFs Analyser Tool are designed to facilitate data management. The tool and the user guide are
downloadable here (current
version is V1_1, 30th June 2009. Users are invited to carefully read the user guide provided).
IMPORTANT: The tool has been designed to be compatible with Excel versions from 2000 to 2007. Users are encouraged to report any error that they might receive when using these tools.
