Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) have been applying the OECD QSAR Toolbox since its first version became available. Our primary use of the Toolbox has been for ecological risk assessment and ecological prioritization of organic chemicals for further assessment. […] ECCC believes the international success of the ERC as a new approach to prioritization could not have happened without the OECD QSAR Toolbox.

The Toolbox is gaining importance in a regulatory context. Both as additional source of information to build categories/find data etc. and as predicting tool for a specific endpoint. However, to use its full potential the overall acceptance must increase especially when its used to fill data gaps.
