Poisson Center Notification (PCN)

The Poison Centre Notification (PCN) is a legal requirement under the EU’s CLP Regulation (EC No 1272/2008), aimed at ensuring poison centres in the EEA have detailed, up-to-date information on hazardous chemical mixtures. Importers and downstream users must submit this data through an ECHA-managed portal, including details like composition, hazards, uses, packaging, and a Unique Formula Identifier (UFI). This standardized system supports faster, more effective emergency medical responses across EU member states.
