PCN Notification: A Critical Step for Market Access
If your company is placing chemical mixtures on the EU market, submitting a PCN notification is not optional—it’s a legal requirement. Under Annex VIII of the CLP Regulation, all hazardous mixtures intended for consumer, professional, or industrial use must be reported to the relevant Poison Centres. This process ensures that medical personnel can quickly access vital information in the event of an emergency. The notification must include details such as the product formulation, toxicological profile, and a Unique Formula Identifier (UFI). Businesses aiming to enter or expand in the EU market can streamline this process by relying on professional compliance services like those provided by PCN notification.
CLP Label Creation and MSDS Compliance
After the PCN submission, accurate and compliant product labeling is the next essential step. A correct CLP label provides clear hazard communication to users, including symbols, signal words, precautionary statements, and the mandatory UFI code. Errors or omissions on the label can lead to delays, fines, or product withdrawal. Fortunately, expert help is available. Our service for CLP label creation ensures that your labels meet EU regulations and market expectations.
Just as vital is the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet). An MSDS is required for nearly every chemical product and must include detailed safety, handling, and first-aid information. It’s also the foundation for your PCN submission. Our MSDS creation service delivers fully compliant documents aligned with REACH and CLP standards, helping you avoid costly mistakes and ensure clarity across all markets.
UFI Code Generation and Full-Service Compliance Support
The UFI code is a 16-character alphanumeric code that links the physical label to the submitted PCN dossier. This code must appear on the CLP label and be consistent with the data filed in the Poison Centre Notification. Generating a UFI code involves input from your company’s VAT number and a formulation-specific mixture code, which can be complex without the right tools or experience. A streamlined approach supported by experts can reduce the risk of errors and help keep your products market-ready.
