Council Regulation (EEC) No 2455/92 has been adopted by the Council of
the European Communities, in 1992, to improve information exchange on
certain dangerous chemicals with third countries, particularly develo
ping countries. To implement the notification procedure in accordance
with the Regulation, a database has been developed to manage and simpl
ify the procedure. The software exists in three versions; one adapted
for use by the Designated Authorities of the Member States, another fo
r the European Chemicals Bureau (ECB) and the third one is an informat
ion version aimed at Designated National Authorities outside the Europ
ean Union and Industry. The database ''EDEXIM'' is currently working i
n a PC environment and is being developed as an on-line system with a
stand-alone client/server architecture.
