Roles and responsabilities

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is responsible for the development and maintenance of eChemPortal, and eChemPortal is hosted by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). The data sources accessed through eChemPortal are maintained by and remain the responsibility of the organisations that create them. The data and information stored in each data source are the responsibility of the data owner. Participating data sources are responsible for ensuring links from eChemPortal to their local data sources are updated.

Extending eChemPortal

Holders of Internet-accessible databases or report collections containing peer-reviewed information on physical-chemical properties, environmental fate and pathways, ecotoxicity or toxicity of chemicals, as well as their use and exposure, are invited to participate in eChemPortal.

Proposals should be submitted to the OECD Secretariat at [email protected].
