The PCN/UFI requirement applies in all EU and EEA countries where hazardous mixtures are placed on the market. The PCN/UFI obligation applies in all EU and EEA countries where hazardous mixtures are marketed. This service allows you to extend your existing PCN notification to more countries once the initial notification has been made by us.

Countries for PCN registration

You can count the number of countries in which you want to register your product. This is the number of countries you need to purchase. You can enter the specific countries during the registration process, after you buy them. If you plan to expand the sale of your products to new countries later, you can always order additional ones.
The EU has 27 countries and the EEA has 30 (EU+Lichtenstein, Norway and Iceland).

*For Switzerland, we can create the PCN file, with all the necessary information to submit an application in the Swiss portal. Please contact us for more information.

Important exceptions and points to note

Although the system is largely harmonized, there are some differences by country:

1. Language requirements

• The PCN must often be submitted in the country’s official language
• Some countries accept English, but not all
• Example: France and Spain usually require their own language

2. National requirements

• Some countries have additional requirements or systems
• Italy and Germany historically had their own systems (now largely harmonized)
• In some cases, an additional national notification is required
