How to Respond to a Certificate Request in SciveraLENS

When sending a product request in SciveraLENS, users have the ability to indicate if the request is related to a product that they would like to get Screened Chemistry certified or EIM certified.

Certification requires Confidential Full Formulation Disclosure (CFFD) and has additional fields that need to be filled out and required documentation.  To respond to a request for certification use the steps outlined in Responding to a request in SciveraLENS.  The last step will provide a preview screen to show all of the required fields for the certification request.  The SCIL Function (if applicable), Designation, Type, and Concentration will need to be filled out before completing the request.  CFFD also requires documentation such as Safety Data Sheets and PADC forms for polymer reviews.  If your product contains a polymer, please see the section of the User Guide on Assessing Polymers in SciveraLENS.

You have the option to Save Progress if you do not have all of the required fields completed so you can come back and finish the Formulation at a later time.

You will only be able to Complete Request once all of the required fields are completed and required documents uploaded.
