Declarations for the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

Since June 2015, the public and the health professionals of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg have access to the Belgian Poison Center via the free number 8002-5500.

In order to answer the calls adequately, the medical doctors of the Poison Centre need to have access to the ingredients of the products on the Luxembourg market.

In application of the article 45 of the European regulation UE 1272/2008, the Belgian Poison Centre can receive the ingredients of dangerous mixtures, including biocides, on the Luxembourg market.

The data needed are similar to those for the products on the Belgian market.

No remuneration is due to declare the products on the Luxembourg market.

An e-mail address depot.lux@poisoncentre.be has been created to receive the data and answer the questions of the manufacturers.

It is not mandatory to declare the mixtures that are not classified as dangerous. However, we invite the companies to declare all their products, either classified as dangerous or not dangerous as intoxications occur with all types of products. It is important for the medical doctors to have access to the ingredients of a product in case of an intoxication, especially in case of an accidental ingestion.

a. Mandatory notifications:

• Notification of mixtures  classified as hazardous, based on the regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, because of its effects on health or because of its physical effects.

Mixtures  classified as hazardous, based on the regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, because of its effects on health or because of its physical effectshave to be notified to Poison Centre once they are placed on Luxembourg market. No matter which kind of firm is placing it on the market.

Belgium chose to use two different systems in parallel:

• The e-delivery system of the ECHA PCN portal. This by using the IUCLID format in accordance with Annex VIII of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/542.

• The national system , electronically in XML format compliant with Annex VIII of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/542.
  The national procedure is more convenient for companies that place mixtures only on the Belgian  & the Luxembourg market.
