What’s behind EASIS?

EASIS is a JRC-run installation of IUCLID 6, a software application designed to manage scientific data on chemicals in a regulatory context, for example under the EU Biocides and EU REACH regulations. If you are familiar with IUCLID, you will immediately feel comfortable when using EASIS.

EASIS uses the OECD Harmonised Templates (OHTs) to facilitate the reuse and exchange of the data. It is actually the first IUCLID installation that makes full use of OHT 201, a special template dedicated to reporting mechanistic data derived from non-animal methods, mostly from data published in the scientific literature. This fulfils one of the main requirements of the Commission’s Chemical Strategy for Sustainability, which calls for the increased uptake of non-animal methods and the better use of academic data.
