A recent enforcement project by the ECHA Forum revealed some concerning gaps in industry compliance:
- 19% of mixtures that should have been notified to poison centres were not notified at all.
- 15% of inspected products were missing the UFI (Unique Formula Identifier) on the label.
- 17% of PCN notifications did not match the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
These findings show that many companies are still not meeting their obligations undermining the effectiveness of emergency response when poisoning incidents occur.
Under the CLP Regulation, companies placing hazardous mixtures classified for human health or physical hazards on the market must provide detailed information on mixture composition to the appointed bodies. This enables poison centres to support medical personnel and the public during emergencies.
Ensuring compliance isn’t just a regulatory requirement, it’s a responsibility that protects people’s health and supports fast, accurate emergency care.
If you’re unsure whether your notifications or labels are fully compliant, we can help.
Our team specialises in PCN submissions, UFI generation, SDS alignment, and overall CLP compliance.
