Global Substance Identifier project

Problem statement

To have consistent generation of global PhPID, a single controlled Global Substance ID is needed. 

Project description

The goal of this Project is to globally harmonize and define capture of standardized information for global Substance identification and hereby ensure consistent PhPID construction through/by: 

  • Identifying the core information set via the ISO TC215 WG6 signature field sub-group. 
  • Adopting a Global substance ID, i.e., GSID 
  • Establishing a global maintenance organization. 
  • Establishing business rules regarding which standardized substance data (GSID) to use in the PhPID generation. 
  • Establishing a mechanism for the use of confidential data in GSID assignment.
