Manuals on preparing REACH and CLP dossiers

The aim of the manuals on How to prepare REACH and CLP dossiers is to help companies to prepare, create and update IUCLID dossiers.

The manuals highlight the IUCLID sections that must be completed for the different dossier types, to prepare a valid and complete dossier that can be submitted to ECHA through REACH-IT. These manuals are also integrated in IUCLID.

Step-by-step instructions for completing the different IUCLID sections and processing each submission are provided in the manuals alongside overviews of the processes and legal concepts involved.

These manuals replace the former Data Submission Manuals (DSMs).
