Learn to use the new interface

A web user interface is being phased in for all distributions of the IUCLID software: Desktop, Server, and Cloud. Since the April 2021 release of IUCLID, the "Classic" interface is no longer available by default. We recommend that IUCLID users become familiar with the new interface as soon as possible. Remember that to try out the latest version of IUCLID 6 before downloading it, and to see the very latest features, you can use the IUCLID Cloud Trial Services provided by ECHA.

To support the IUCLID user community during the transition, this webpage provides training and guidance material specifically to help you get familiar with using the web user interface. Whether you are completely new to IUCLID or a user of the ‘classic’ user interface, this webpage will help you understand what features are available in the web interface, how to use them, and how to navigate and search in the new interface.

Install the latest version of IUCLID which includes the web interface from here. Alternatively, you can subscribe to IUCLID Cloud to use the web interface if you are submitting dossiers under the EU REACH, CLP, SCIP, PPP regulatory frameworks.

You can use or re-use the guidance material on this webpage to help yourself and your colleagues become better acquainted with the web interface. If you would like to comment on the training material provided here, or on the web user interface itself, you can post your feedback on our IUCLID LinkedIn Group.

Access the Classic interface of IUCLID

If you need to use the classic interface to carry out some specific task that you cannot do via the web interface, get instructions on how to open it from the link below. You will be asked to answer a short survey before getting the instructions.

Web interface functionalities manual

Here is the Functionalities manual of IUCLID 6 for the web interface. The manual provides useful descriptions of the features found in the web interface as well as a guide in Section 2 "Help for users familiar with the IUCLID client" to help users familiar with the classic user interface move to the web interface.

Translations of this manual are provided below. Note that the version in English is the most recent version, although the content in the translations is still relevant.

Industry Tips

Industry can send their tips for using the web interface to the IUCLID functional mailbox, as well as ideas for training material. We can then publish these on the IUCLID LinkedIn Group to help users work with the web interface.

Tip from BASF: coleagues using the same IUCLID instance (on a shared server) exchange and share the URL by simply copying the web browser address bar and sending it over email, to quickly view:

  • Dossiers
  • Endpoint documents

BASF also generate Comparison reports (which compares the content of two dossiers) and save the URL in a shared location for other colleagues to quickly view, without the need to re-generate the report.
