Substance Inventory Management System (WercsSIMS)

preparations used by your company.• Maintain information about their status under

REACH.• Maintain information about your Supplier(s).• Maintain documents related to the substance.

Substance Inventory Management System (WercsSIMS)

documents available on the Web.

IUCLID5Sync

• WERCS currently provides tools based on IUCLID 4 architecture.

• WERCS participated in the feedback process relating to development and data sharing in IUCLID 5.

IUCLID 5 highlights

• Public database design for the storage and transport of information related to substances, their properties and attributes.

• Database uses XML as the method for transportation of data – between companies or from registrants to the database.

• WERCS will sunsetIUCLID 4 program and develop a new tool to work with IUCLID 5 architecture.

Dossiers and performing the Registration process.• Tool for exchanging data among companies.

New Document Types

• Extended SDS– Annex 1 containing:

• Exposure Scenarios• Risk Management Measures

• Internal documents – analytical tools ready for REACH

New Document Types

• Everything we have seen so far in REACH regarding new documents can be accommodated by formatting in WERCS.

• Document being developed over the next few months.

• Formatting service to be part of solution.

Downstream Users Portal

• Purpose is to gather actual use information from the Downstream Users of your products.

• Web-based application based on WERCS.Web Architecture for easy deployment and management by IT department.

Downstream Users Portal

• DU will logon to a web site.• Enter their data into a set of web pages.• Data is sent to WERCS database for your review

and analysis.
