Through the Chemical safety report/Exposure scenario roadmap (CSR/ES) Roadmap stakeholders have produced a number of tools to support supply chain communication.

For an importer, where substances are concerned, these include the same tools as for a manufacturer:

• sector use maps – for upstream communication
• the ESCom standard phrase catalogue and ESCom XML standard package
• illustrative examples of chemical safety reports (CSRs) and exposure scenarios (ESs)
• ES templates
• the table of contents for the Annex to a SDS (ES restructured short titles SST)
• the Interactive guide on Safety data sheets and Exposure scenarios

For mixtures, additional tools include:

• the information on mixture classification
• the Lead Component Identification (LCI) methodology
• the Safe Use of Mixture Information under REACH approach and template

For articles, there are no tools developed by the CSR/ES Roadmap. The most appropriate way to communicate can vary, depending on the content and the addressee of the information. More information can be found in ECHA Guidance on requirements for substances in articles, section 3.4.1.
