With a basic level of IT skill, IUCLID 5 can be installed onto a reasonable desktop or laptop computer by following instructions and guidelines given by ECHA. It takes up a lot of memory, and at least 1 Gb RAM is recommended, although it will run on less. S well as being the source for download, there is help and support available from the IUCLID 5 web-site http://iuclid.eu . It is recommended to download all the components and expect the download and installation to take about 2 hours on a reasonable broadband system if installing to a stand-alone computer.
