Important reminder for PIC exporters

In order to migrate your data (export notifications, special RIN requests and details on mixtures and articles) from EDEXIM to the new submission system, ePIC, the "ownership" of the data must be digitally assigned to your company using a unique identifier that is recognised by both systems. This Legal Entity Universal Unique Identifier (LE UUID) can be obtained from the REACH-IT application. Please log into EDEXIM, where you will find detailed instructions, and provide your LE UUID no later than 22 August 2014.

EDEXIM

EDEXIM closure

Please note that EDEXIM will be closed at end of business on 22 August 2014 and no new submissions will be possible until ePIC goes live on 2 September. If you plan any exports for the end of September or the beginning of October please submit your notifications on time for your DNA to process them and send them to ECHA by this date.
