titleWho can use Simplex?

Simplex is designed for SNOMED International Members and Affiliates seeking a cost-effective solution for creating, maintaining, and distributing SNOMED CT extensions. It caters to those who require basic components and derivatives of SNOMED CT, have budgetary constraints, and possess the capability to independently perform ongoing maintenance of the created content.

At this time Simplex supports extending the International Edition or other SNOMED CT products that have an "edition style package". These are Australia and Germany.
Most nations use an "extension style package", those can not be extended using Simplex at this time

Anyone with a Chrome web browser, so long as it is for reference and educational purposes
