In response to feedback received from users of the TRA, ECETOC has further improved the consumer portion of the model by the inclusion of the ability to account for infrequent uses of consumer products. The changes which have been developed in cooperation with ECHA are now found as version 3.1 of the TRA and are also to be found within version 2.3 of Chesar.

The update to version 3.1 was used as an occasion to include an updated SpERC (Specific Environmental Release Category; refined environmental exposure scenarios) list and improvements of the functionalities by offering the export and import of single substance datasets. Version 3.1 is available both as an integrated model and a standalone version for the consumer part, and can be found at the ECETOC TRA website http://www.ecetoc.org/tra together with updated user guides for these tools and ECETOC TRA Technical Reports.
