The eChemPortal – also known as the Global Portal to Information on Chemical Substances - was launched by the OECD in 2007, to provide free access to information on industrial chemicals. A new version of the eChemPortal was launched by the OECD, in collaboration with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), on 6 December 2010. It provides free public access to information on more than 600,000 records on chemical substances. Improvements include a search by chemical property, in addition to a search by substance name and identification number. For the first time, users can search for chemicals using criteria such as physical chemical properties, environmental fate and behaviour, ecotoxicity and toxicity. New web links also allow users to retrieve information according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). |
