The transitional period that allowed businesses to introduce hazardous mixtures based on notifications to the national poison centres in the non-harmonised system expires at the end of this year. After 31 December 2024, the notification of mixtures is no longer covered by the transitional period, and all hazardous mixtures placed on the EU market must be notified in the harmonised format in accordance with Annex VIII to the CLP Regulation.
This means that all manufacturers, importers and downstream users placing relevant mixtures on the market for consumer, professional and industrial use who have not yet notified their mixtures in the new European PCN system must immediately submit a notification in accordance with the requirements of Annex VIII (PCN) and include a unique formula identifier (UFI) on the label.
Inspections
ECHA’s published that “the Forum will also prioritise action to harmonise enforcement of new provisions that have fully entered into force. This includes the duties related to notification of information on hazardous mixtures to national appointed bodies and poison centres according to Annex VIII of the CLP Regulation, for which the transitional period ends in 2025.” – This means that PCN notifications and the information submitted may be checked by national inspections.
Know your obligations
Notifications need to be submitted by importers and downstream users placing mixtures classified for human health or physical hazards on the market.
If you do not know whether these obligations apply to you, you do not know what information to prepare and how to submit the notification – we will help you with the whole process of Poison Center Notification to be in compliance with legal requirements.
