CADDY (Computer Aided Dossier and Data Supply)

CADDY is an electronic format for the exchange, archiving and evaluation of complex dossiers, developed jointly by industry and regulatory authorities. It was developed for the interchange of plant protection products dossiers, and is currently adopted by the European Commission and Member States as the only electronic dossier interchange format. CADDY is a flexible format; it is continuously improved to follow developments in the evaluation process.

CADDY provides a clear, stable and reliable format, a retrieval software that provides quick access to the CD-ROM dossiers, and an increasing number of features to facilitate the evaluation process.
