The OECD Harmonised Templates are standard data formats for reporting studies done on chemicals to determine their properties or effects on human health and the environment. They are aimed at developers of database systems, as they prescribe the formats by which information can be entered into and maintained in database. By using these templates, governments and industry will easily be able to electronically exchange test study summary information. The templates can be used for reporting summary results for testing on any type of a chemical (e.g., pesticides, biocides, industrial chemicals).

Update of OECD Harmonised Templates

29-Apr-2011

The OECD Harmonised Templates (OHT) are standard data formats for reporting studies done on chemicals to determine their properties or effects on human health and the environment. Minor updates were recently made to 37 OHTs, based on the experience and suggestions for improvement from users implementing them in databases such as IUCLID 5.3 (managed by the European Chemical Agency).

Details of additions brought or changes made in February 2011 in these templates and associated XML files are accessible on the OHTs Webpage, “Update Overview ” link.
