Our latest software update for opesus EHSM Smart Input (ESI) comes with some improvements and fixes. The biggest improvement is the addition of our “Compliance Data Object Search”. This makes the search function more powerful and user-friendly as it is now more adaptable to your needs. As part of ESI, the search function will be updated and improved on a continuous basis.
Tested, checked, and released. The opesus EHS Product Notification software creates poison centre dossiers in the Poison Centres Notification (PCN) format.
In other words, you can now create and download dossiers from your SAP system. After that, simply upload the dossier to the ECHA Submission Portal. This way, you fulfill the requirements of Art. 45 and Annex VIII to the CLP regulation for your product portfolio.
