Contacts (CON) are not stand-alone national records, and therefore do not appear as unique records in the search or country profiles. Instead, they can be used to provide information on individuals and/or organizations that are linked and published through other national or reference records, like Risk Assessment generated by a regulatory process (RA) or Living Modified Organism (LMO).

Any registered BCH user can create and publish a contact record without prior validation. This record will be made available to the general public and will be searchable in the BCH only if it is referenced in other records.

Please fill in the “Submission form” and complete the fields according to the instructions. 

Certain fields are mandatory and indicated with an asterisk (*). The “Review” of the form will highlight the mandatory fields that need to be filled before the record can be published. The record can be saved as a draft. Frequently saving your records is recommended, especially, in case of intermittent internet connections.
