Poison Centre Notifications
& Unique Formula Identifiers

Poison Centre Notifications (PCN)

Consumer and industrial products require a Poison Centre Notification (PCN), and a Unique Formula Identifier (UFI), if they have a classification that falls under any of the hazard classes. A PCN must be submitted for every product that is under the scope of the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) legislation regardless of the industry it is part of.

Unique Formula Identifiers (UFI)

A UFI enables emergency health workers to correctly identify hazardous components, and their levels, and provide the appropriate care.

  • The requirement for PCNs was introduced by the European Union (EU) in article 45 of the CLP Regulation. The EU harmonised the information requirements on mixtures classified as hazardous for human health or physical effects as of 2021. Importers or downstream users must submit this information to EU member states, to be used by their Poison Centres for emergency health response.

  • A Unique Formula Identifier (UFI) is produced for each of your products. Next, we will compile a complete Poison Centres Notification dossier, which includes submitter details, product formulation, packaging details and countries it is sold in, and finally submit the dossier to all the EU member states where the product is being supplied. You will then be issued with a validated UFI for each product that must be clearly printed on corresponding product packaging to meet compliance requirements.

    ADACT use full formulation data, and not just a section of a pre-existing safety data sheets. Our dossiers are based on a full formulation breakdown to ensure the most accurate data is transmitted through the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) portal. This of course gives poison centres the best possible information to act upon.
