Release of the OECD (Q)SAR Application Toolbox

02-Apr-2008

The OECD (Q)SAR Application Toolbox is a software application intended to be used by governments, the chemical industry and other stakeholders to fill gaps in (eco)toxicity data needed for assessing the hazards of chemicals.  With this Toolbox, a user can fill data gaps by read-across and trend analysis, group chemicals into categories and gain access to a library of (Q)SAR models. It can be downloaded free of charge. (Press Release)

Revised Guidance for Grouping of Chemicals is now available

27-Sep-2007

The approach described in this guidance document is to consider closely related chemicals as a group, or category, rather than as individual chemicals. In the category approach, not every chemical needs to be tested for every endpoint. Rather, the overall data for that category must prove adequate to support a hazard assessment. The overall data set must allow the estimation of the hazard for the untested endpoints.

Launch of eChemPortal: The Global Portal to Information on Chemical Substances

12-Jun-2007

eChemPortal is an internet gateway that provides direct free access to information on the properties of chemicals (physical-chemical properties, environmental fate and behaviour, ecotoxicity, toxicity) as well as to hazard and risk assessments. It allows users to simultaneously search multiple databases, most of which are prepared for government chemical review programmes.

New CD-Rom with Initial Assessment Reports for High Production Volume Chemicals

14-Nov-2005

UNEP Chemicals has released a new CD-ROM containing all Initial Assessment Reports for High Production Volume Chemicals from the OECD HPV Chemicals Programme which have been finalised up to October 2005. The CD-ROM can be obtained free of charge by contacting chemicals@unep.ch. The assessments are also available from the following web site: http://www.chem.unep.ch/irptc/sids/OECDSIDS/sidspub.html

SIDS Dossiers in database format (IUCLID) available

09-Feb-2005

For a number of SIDS Initial Assessments elaborated within the OECD HPV Chemicals Programme, the SIDS Dossier was elaborated with the IUCLID database software. The databse files (export files) can be downloaded and then imported into a local IUCLID installation.

The 2004 OECD List of High Production Volume Chemicals

05-Nov-2004

The 2004 OECD List of HPV Chemicals has been updated based on information received from Member Countries and the European Union on chemicals which are produced in OECD in volumes over 1,000 tonnes annually.
