Study on analysis, development and testing of the Unique Formula Identifier (UFI) for information to be submitted to poison centres, according to article 45 (4) of EC regulation No 1272/2008 (CLP Regulation)

The objective of the service contract is to provide the European Commission with tools to support the establishment of an electronic version of a Unique Formula Identifier (UFI) to be used in the submission of information related to the chemical composition of hazardous mixtures.

These work products are threefold:

i) an analysis of the available options for a secure and unambiguous identification of the mixture of concern via the UFI and design and development of a software for the generation of the UFI (on the basis of an existing version already available on-line);

ii) identify the IT resources needed to host the software, in a performant and secured manner, on a website, and to maintain it fully operational under the expected load and to test its robustness;

iii) identify potential interactions with the harmonised XML format for data submission to Poison Centres and with the national/regional poison centres databases.

Moreover, the study shall provide guidance and tutorials for the UFI generator users with a particular attention to SMEs.
