eChemPortal 1.

The OECD eChemPortal, launched in 2007, offers free public access to information on properties and hazards of chemicals, exposure and use and reviewed chemical classification information. It provides direct access to critical scientific information prepared for government chemical review programmes. eChemPortal allows for simultaneous search of data from multiple international databases and provides clearly described sources and quality of data.

eChemPortal - The Global Portal to Information on Chemical Substances is a web portal that provides free public access to information on properties of chemicals.

eChemPortal version 3.10 was released in October 2022, including an upgrade of the substance search engine, improved results for selected data sources in vague substance searches (retrieving many records), and greater efficiency in selecting a hazard category in the GHS Classification Query dropdown menu.

eChemPortal added links to the OECD Fact Cards of Major Groups of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) in December 2022.

The eChemPortal Guidance for New Participants was made available in April 2023. The Guidance provides concise and practical information to help organisations identify the type of chemicals information shared on the eChemPortal and to define the best strategy to participate as a data source.

The Steering Group for the Development of the Global Portal met virtually on 18-19 April 2023 and provided input on future requirements and agreed priorities for the 2023/24 eChemPortal development contract that focuses on maintenance, fixes, and small improvements.
