Poison Centre Notification
UK & EU Poison Centre Notification (PCN) Services
A Poison Centre Notification (PCN) is a regulatory requirement for certain hazardous mixtures placed on the European Union and European Economic Area (EEA) markets under Annex VIII of the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation. A PCN provides poison centres with detailed information about hazardous mixtures, enabling healthcare professionals to respond quickly and accurately in the event of accidental exposure or poisoning.
At Connect 4 Compliance, we provide professional EU and UK Poison Centre Notification (PCN) Services to help manufacturers, importers, distributors, and brand owners meet their regulatory obligations. Our regulatory specialists support businesses throughout the entire notification process, including applicability assessments, Unique Formula Identifier (UFI) generation, dossier preparation, notification submissions, Safety Data Sheet (SDS) reviews, and ongoing regulatory support to help products remain compliant for the UK and EU markets.
UK and Northern Ireland Poison Centre Notification
The requirements differ across the UK, and the distinction matters for any business supplying the whole of the UK market. Great Britain has not adopted Annex VIII of the CLP Regulation. There is no PCN requirement and no UFI for products placed on the GB market. Instead, suppliers of hazardous mixtures notify the National Poisons Information Service, providing product and composition information under the GB CLP regime. Northern Ireland continues to follow EU CLP under the Windsor Framework. Products placed on the Northern Ireland market require a full Annex VIII notification including a UFI, submitted through the ECHA Poison Centres Notification portal, with the National Poisons Information Service in Birmingham as the appointed body. This means a business selling across the UK and into the EU may need to satisfy three separate sets of obligations. We assess which apply to your products, prepare the notifications required in each territory, and manage them as your formulations change.
