An update to the IEC 62474 is planned for the weekend of April 5-6, 2014. The database will be out of service for starting on the Saturday April 5th — a header message will notify users that the DB is out of service. Once the updates have been verified by the IEC 62474 validation team, the header will be updated to indicate that the database is available. Any updates to this schedule will be posted on this blog as well as in the news section of the database.

A technical summary of changes to the declarable substances, reference substances, XML schema and developer’s table will be posted on this blog when the update is complete.
