All notifications for hazardous mixtures placed on the EU market must be in the harmonised format according to Annex VIII of the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation from 1 January 2025.
Mixtures classified as hazardous, based on the regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, because of its effects on health or because of its physical effectshave, need to be notified to the Belgian Poison Centre once they are placed on the Belgian 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.

A direct notification to the Belgian Poison Centre is also possible for the Belgian market only, for products/mixtures which are not declared via the ECHA PCN Portal.
For information on this procedure, please contact the Belgian Poison Centre by phone : +32 2 264 96 36.
You may choose between one of those two systems to notify your products to the Poison Centre. It is not necessary to notify via the two systems for the products placed on the market in Belgium.
Warning: in the case you would submit your notifications through both systems in parallel, you would be charged with the double amount of fee. It is indeed technically compulsory to process the double notifications coming from both systems. It therefore leads to a double work of our team.
