eSubmission builder

Many dossiers are still not submitted in a harmonized electronic dossier format, often due to the lack of availability of a dossier management and publication tool. Authorities are about to individually develop web portals, leading to intransparent, labor-intensive and error-prone manual information collection as well as to an increasing lack of harmonization and possibility of data exchange within the regulatory world.

In order to further promote CADDY and GHSTS as vehicles for standardized dossier submission processes, the CropLife Europe eSEG group is proud to present a standalone free-to-use eSubmission Builder software.

The following screenshots give you an impression of the functionality and look-and-feel of the software:

Release roadmap

After a public testing phase in 2020, the first version 1.0.0 has been released in February 2021. A follow-up release has been released in 3/2021, including a module to upload information to IUCLID.

The release 1.2.0 has been released in March 2023, containing a few bugfixes. The IUCLID upload functionality has been removed, due to the parallel development of the IUCLID Integration Platform.

As of now (Q1/2023), no further functional updates are planned by CLE. The CropLife Europe eSEG invites all parties to contribute to and maintain the eSubmission builder.
