Mass reporting interface (MMT)

Preparations, existing substances and biocides can be managed in the RPC quickly and securely using the mass reporting interface. The development of the interface and its use are subject to certain conditions.

The use of the Mass reporting interface simplifies the automatic transfer (via import) of the company's products (preparations, existing substances, biocides) to the Chemical Register (RPC) via an XML file, greatly reducing transfer times and errors associated with manual entry.

The Notification Authority for Chemicals provides an interface for the direct import of the XML file into the RPC. The company concerned is responsible for developing the software to create the XML file. The Notification Authority for Chemicals is available to answer questions about import errors, but does not provide support for software development.

Inside the ZIP file, accessible from the documents section at the bottom of the page, you will find the XSD file, all necessary codes and the user manual. It is recommended to consult the user manual carefully to understand all codes in detail, as they are not easily identifiable from the XSD file alone. Please note that RCP covers the requirements of the Swiss Chemical Ordinance and not those of the EU.

How do I access the Mass reporting interface (MMT) in the production environment?
To request activation of the interface for MMt, after carrying out the necessary tests (see below), you need to send an e-mail to [e-mail] providing details of the account used in production, including e-mail address and associated CH-ID number.

• Test Phase

  This test phase is mandatory for all new users of the Mass reporting interface (MMT).

  In order to use the Mass reporting interface (MMT) in the public version of the Chemical Product Register (PROD), companies must first test the functionality on the test version of the register (ABN): https://www.gate-a.bag.admin.ch/rpc (note: this is not the same URL as the public RPC).

  The ABN test environment is a copy of the productive version of the product register. To work in this environment, you need a new, additional user account (CHA user account). To open a dedicated user account, log in to the acceptance environment (https://www.gate-a.bag.admin.ch/rpc) and follow the instructions. To request access to a reporter, navigate to the home page and click on ‘Link to company’. Follow the instructions and complete the process. Due to the test environment, you can omit the PDF form that needs to be signed/submitted at the end.

  Once you have opened your account (in the ABN trial version), please send us your personal data (surname, first name, company, address, telephone number, e-mail address and name of the system you are using) by e-mail to [e-mail]. We will then confirm by e-mail that the additional role (MMT) has been activated.

  Test suggestions (please note: do not enter confidential information into the test environment¹):

  • Uploading 2 new products by the company.
  • Uploading of 6 products (update of 2 products and 4 new products, if possible, with different characteristics, e.g.: in the composition enter once a component with CAS number, once with PAID and once enter a preparation via CPID).

  As soon as the tests have been successfully completed, please send the list of CPIDs created in the ABN test environment to [e-mail] with a request to activate the MMT role in the public environment (e-mail address and CH-ID).
  The Notification Authority will evaluate the tests performed in the test environment (ABN) and validate the desired role. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the account holder.

  ¹Please note that this is a test environment. We therefore recommend that you DO NOT enter confidential data or delete it immediately after testing, and draw your attention to the fact that the Chemical Notification Authority accepts no liability for any damage caused in the event of a breach.
  All data in the Chemicals Register (CRP) in this environment is not accessible to the public without logging in, which means that it must be treated as confidential. The improper use or distribution of this data is prohibited.
