How often does CCOHS update toxicity data and other information in its online databases?
Each database record contains currency information as to when the data was last updated. For example, in CHEMINFO there is the Revision/Preparation Date as well as Revision Indicators at the end of each record. These dates will guide you as to when the information was last updated. CCOHS processes database updates on a quarterly basis. The regulatory and advisory information (e.g. IARC carcinogenicity status) that is provided with CANWrite is updated as quickly as possible after new information data is published. CCOHS’s Chemical Notification Service will notify you when database updates have occurred to your registered ingredients.
