EU CLP-PCN-UFI Registration Overview

Date:2025-05-30 09:56:39 Classification :【question】 Visits:549
Overview of EU CLP-PCN-UFI registration, EU CLP-PCN-UFI registration is a management measure implemented for hazardous mixtures placed on the EU market in accordance with the requirements of the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation for Substances and Mixtures (CLP Regulation). This process includes generating a unique formula identifier (UFI) and submitting a poison center notification (PCN).

1. Scope of application

1. Product type: chemical mixture (such as adhesives, cleaners, detergents, fuels, etc.).

2. Hazard classification: physical or health hazards (such as flammable, corrosive, carcinogenic, etc.).

3. Market scope: placed on the EU market (including consumer or industrial use).

2. Exemptions

Mixtures that are not classified as hazardous do not need to be registered, but it should be noted that some low-concentration hazardous substances may still need to be labeled.

3. Generate UFI code

UFI format

- Format: Consists of 16 alphanumeric characters in the format of ~UFI:---~.

- Uniqueness: Generated based on the company's VAT number and internal code to ensure uniqueness.

IV. Generation method

- Online generation: Generate online through the EU official or third-party platform.

- Formula consistency: Ensure that products with consistent formulas use the same UFI. If the formula changes, a new UFI is required.

Submit Poison Center Notification (PCN)

V. Notification content

- Hazard information: Hazard information of the mixture.

- UFI and company contact information: Must be consistent with the UFI in the SDS.

VI. Time cycle

- Usually takes 5-7 working days: generate UFI and complete PCN notification.

VII. Labeling and compliance management

Label requirements

- UFI display: UFI must be printed or affixed to the product label. If the product is unpackaged (such as industrial bulk products), it must be indicated in the SDS.

VIII. Precautions

- Non-EU companies: You can entrust a third-party agency in the EU to register on your behalf to protect commercial secrets.

- Information update: If the product information changes, the company is obliged to update the notification in a timely manner.

Use CLP UFI CODE

IX. Generation steps

1. Determine the sample type: First, you need to determine the type of mixture sample that needs to be registered.

2. Prepare materials: Fill in the application form and provide the product's safety data sheet (SDS report).

3. Generate UFI: Companies can generate UFI by entering the VAT number of EU companies and any number (between 0-268435455), or randomly generate it if there is no VAT number. UFI generation can be completed through ECHA's online generator.

X. Notification steps

1. Submit dossier: Collect the required product-related information according to CLP Annex VIII, including submitter information, mixture ingredients, classification, labeling elements, toxicological information, etc., and then prepare a notification dossier and submit it through the EU member state national submission system or the ECHA Toxicology Center Notification Portal (PCN portal).

2. UFI display on the label: After obtaining a valid UFI, it needs to be printed or affixed to the product label or inner packaging, ensuring that it is clearly visible and indelible, and using Latin letters to represent UFI: followed by a colon.
