D.11.3. Feature "Reference substance - New": How to create a Reference substance

Follow these steps:

  1. Go Home to the Task panel if you are not already there.

  2. Under Reference substance , click New.

  3. The Reference substance wizard comes up and prompts you to enter a name for the Reference substance. This name should be unique in the IUCLID database.

  4. Click the Finish button.

  5. The Reference substance is created and the data entry window opens.

Note

You are free to assign any name to the Reference substance. Nevertheless a chemical identifier (e.g. EC number, EC name, CAS number, CAS name, IUPAC or other) can help keeping the Reference substance inventory well organised.

Tip

The checkbox Active reference substance is selected by default (see chapter D.11.6 Active Reference substance: assigning/de-assigning)
