Introduction¶
The Online Reporting System is provided by the Secretariat for the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and for the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer to facilitate the submission of data and information required under various reporting obligations.
Accessing the system¶
The Online Reporting System is available online at https://ors.ozone.unep.org.
You can request one or several user accounts by contacting the Secretariat.
In case you do not remember the login credentials, you can set a new password by accessing the “Forgotten your password or username?” link in the Login page. You will need to enter the e-mail address associated to your account. After pressing the “Reset my password” button, you will receive an e-mail containing the username and an one-time link which allows entering a new password.
Attention
When setting a new password, a minimal set of security constraints must be respected:
Your password can’t be too similar to your other personal information.
Your password must contain at least 8 characters.
Your password can’t be a commonly used password.
Your password can’t be entirely numeric.
User interface¶
After login, you will see the main user interface, comprised of:
the main menu in the left side (Dashboard, Reports, etc.);
the user menu in the top-right side, where you can change your contact details and language preferences;
and the main content area in the middle.
