The CLP regulation (Reg. (EC) 1272/2008, article 45 and Annex VIII) requires information on mixtures classified as hazardous. This applies in particular to mixtures with physical or health hazards. Notifications must be sent to the poison centres of European Member States where the product is placed on the market.
Prior to CLP, Member States had set up their own poison notification systems. In accordance with CLP, all declarations prior to Annex VIII are considered valid until 1 January 2025. On that date, only poison centre notifications made using the harmonised format (PCN) will be compliant. If this is not done, the related mixtures may no longer be placed on the European market.
A key point is that product labels will have to include the unique alphanumeric identification code known as the UFI (Unique Formula Identifier).
