OECD eChemPortal

The eChemPortal of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) gives free public access to information on properties of chemicals collected by various worldwide governmental chemical programmes. The portal is hosted by ECHA, and the OECD is responsible for the development and maintenance. The eChemPortal allows users to:

• Search reports and datasets simultaneously by chemical name and number, chemical property, and GHS classification.

• Access direct links to collections of chemical hazard and risk information prepared for national, regional and international governmental chemical programmes.

• Obtain classification results according to national/regional classification schemes or the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), where available.

• Access information on exposure and use of chemicals
