Chapter E. Specific Guidance on Content of IUCLID Sections

This chapter provides specific guidance on the content of all IUCLID sections and subsections, which includes guidance on all data entry fields. The instructions on Endpoint study records of sections 4 to 10 are completely based on the help texts provided with the OECD Harmonised Templates (see chapter D.4.7.1 What is an Endpoint study record?).

All help texts are accessible as context-sensitive online Help by selecting the Help button on the toolbar or pressing the F1 key on the keyboard (see chapter A.3 Online Help).
