Avoid Common Errors and Ensure Compliance

This e-learning course will walk you through the steps to complete a notification in ECHA's Submission Portal. By completing this course, you will be able to make PCN in the new harmonised format, in ECHA's portal.

Poison Centres

The Annex, as amended, describes in detail, the what, when, where, and how to submit required information.

Notable new elements, of this requirement include:

  • Providing the full chemical composition of the mixture – this means both the hazardous and non-hazardous components.

  • Labeling your product with a unique formula identifier (UFI) – the UFI allows poison centres to rapidly identify the product.

  • Assigning a product category according to the European Product Categorisation System (EuPCS).

The Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (EC Regulation 1272/2008) was amended on 22 March 2017, with Annex VIII (Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/542) detailing requirements for harmonised submission of hazardous mixtures to EU Member State Appointed Bodies, i.e. Poison Centres. The harmonised submissions, also known as Poison Centre Notification (PCN), aid in emergency health response, in the event of poisoning.
