DO NOT DELAY IN MAKING YOUR PCN-POISON CENTER NOTIFICATIONS!

Content addition date : 16-05-2025

Why is PCN-Poison Center Notification so important?

Various chemical products offered to the EU market, even if handled properly, can pose undesirable health risks from use to storage. At this point, it is great importance to ensure that healthcare professionals have access to information about the risks of the product.

As of 01 January 2025, it is mandatory to notify all mixtures that pose a human health or physical hazard to the relevant institution using the PCN format. In order to access the PCN file, the UFI code must be indicated on the product label and the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). In order to facilitate information submission, ECHA has launched a central portal and created a common format for transmitting information to toxicology centers. Notifications are made through this portal in most European countries.

Companies that do not submit a PCN notification after 01 January 2025 may face administrative fines, suspension or cancellation of their activities, and the risk of market loss. In such a case, problems will occur in international trade.
