PCN Submission – Which Alternatives for the Industry?

Notifying chemical mixtures to ECHA can be a difficult and costly step for companies and industries even if they perform a system-to-system notification. This relates to the amount and quality of information to be provided for each product in its notification dossier.

The CLP regulation offers alternatives to the different market players to encourage and facilitate the notification of their products

  • Companies producing chemical mixtures only used at industrial sites have the possibility to submit their products in a limited form

  • Products with similar components or which differ only in their colouring or scent may under certain conditions be notified in a single dossier

  • Non-European suppliers and suppliers of non-hazardous products can, via the voluntary notification of their products, transmit the information necessary for the PCN notifications of their clients without disclosing confidential information such as the full composition of their products

Throughout this webinar, we will cover the requirements and information needed to make use of these different types of notifications.

This webinar will cover

  • PCN submission for mixtures used at industrial sites only

  • Limited composition information for a limited PCN submission

  • Tips for a PCN group submission

  • How to notify of a product with different colours or fragrances?

  • Use of Generic Component Identifier (GCI) and Interchangeable component group (ICG) for a PCN submission

  • Relevance of the Voluntary PCN submission

  • PCN submission for non-EU supplier

  • Unique Formula Identifier (UFI)

This webinar will benefit

  • EU and non-EU Companies placing chemical products on the EU market

  • Companies placing mixtures only intended for industrial use on the EU market

  • Companies producing and selling chemical products that only differ from each other with their colours, fragrances or perfumes

  • Companies manufacturing chemical mixtures with similar components or component groups

  • Companies don’t know the real concentration of their product’s components for the notification due to the variation of the different batches

  • Global regulatory professionals from companies having activities in the EU

  • Any regulatory professional working closely with the EU CLP regulation
