Software eases REACH compliance
Atrion's IA application automates the creation of multilingual material safety data sheets (MSDS), labels, hazard summary sheets as well as documents related to transportation and inventory reports.
Atrion International has completed its REACHexchange beta testing programme with seven large multinational clients (including DSM and Akzo Nobel) The results of the beta testing validated the ease of use and practicality of REACHexchange's bidirectional exchange of data between Atrion's Intelligent Authoring (IA) application and local instances of a company's IUCLID 5 system, the tool for registering chemical substances under the REACH legislation

"The European Chemical Bureau's (ECB) IUCLID 5 license agreement prohibits companies from directly interfacing a third-party system with IUCLID 5, which could potentially result in redundant and inconsistent data and in the long run affect a company's reputation", explains Patrick Lavoie, President of Atrion International.
"We developed REACHexchange to enable companies to overcome this limitation, all while working within the confines of the IUCLID 5 license agreement".
Atrion's IA application automates the creation of globally compliant and multilingual material safety data sheets (MSDS), labels, hazard summary sheets as well as documents related to transportation and inventory reports.
REACHexchange, in combination with Atrion's IA application, allows the transfer of data and necessary classification information to the central IUCLID 5 system.
The REACHexchange Beta testers confirmed that the REACHexchangeinterface eliminates risks associated with inconstant data between registration dossiers and SDs due to duplicate data entry.
