A few weeks ago, our teammates Pilar Ortiz-Alías and Nirav Banker were part of the SURFEX LIVE event with its webinar “Poison Centre Notifications (PCN): The UFI Code and European Harmonised Toxicological Notification”, in which they addressed the obligation, according to Article 45 of the CLP Regulation, of companies placing hazardous mixtures to provide information about it to the relevant national bodies, that make this information available to poison centres so that they can give advice to the citizens or medical personnel in the event of an emergency. The objective of this system, is to guarantee a high level of protection of human health and the free circulation of substances and mixtures within the EU.

A large number of chemical products (paints, sanitary products, detergents, etc) are placed on the EU market every year, and used by both the general public and professionals on a daily basis. Chemical products are in general considered safe when you use it properly, following their instructions.

When it happens, it is commendatory to develop a mechanism that provide both medical staff and emergency professionals immediate access to relevant information on the concrete chemical product.
