Legal entities

In IUCLID, a Legal entity is used to store information about a party or person that is involved in the life cycle of a chemical substance, mixture or product.

  • It can be used to identify the party that is responsible for a certain activity, such as the manufacturing or import of a substance.
  • It does not have to be created by the person or party it represents.
    • The manufacturer can create a Legal entity to store information on a third-party representative of the substance.
    • An only representative can create Legal entities to identify their suppliers.

You can create your legal entity in two ways:

  1. On ChemAssist

    • The user will be able to create a short legal entity on the platform.
    • This will be one of the on boarding steps after creating your ChemAssist account.
    • You can modify or change your legal entity in your account settings.

  2. On IUCLID6

    • The creation and editing of a Legal entity can done two ways:
      • From the list page of entities, which is accessible from the main menu.
      • From the point where the Legal entity is referred to in a dataset.
