Subject: IUCLID 5 - New Chemical Safety Assessment and Reporting tool
now available



Chesar - The new Chemical Safety Assessment and Reporting tool is now available

Chesar is a tool to help companies to prepare their Chemical Safety
Assessments (CSA) and Chemical Safety Reports (CSR) which are required
by the REACH regulation for substances manufactured or imported at a
volume above 10 tonnes per year.

Until now companies have been able to submit registrations with a CSR
generated manually, partly supported by the CSR plugin that ECHA made
available in February 2009. Chesar now provides industry with an IT
tool to produce the full CSA more efficiently and effectively. It will
in particular help to structure the information for the exposure
scenarios.

For that purpose the principles for carrying out a chemical safety
assessment described in the updated REACH Guidance on Information
Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment have been converted into
an IT application.

Chesar is also built to facilitate the re-use of all or part of
assessments already carried out by the registrant or prepared by
industry associations, thanks to data exchange functionalities. This
will support cross-industry standardisation of the description of uses
and the safe conditions of use.

Chesar 1.0 works as a plugin of the standalone version of IUCLID 5.2.

As Chesar 1.0 has only been tested within ECHA, we encourage the
registrants to test the tool. All feedback will contribute to the next
upgrade of Chesar. Chesar 1.0 does not generate full CSR or the
Exposure Scenarios for the extended Safety Data Sheets. The first
upgrade enabling the full CSR generation is planned to be available in
July 2010.
