EU POISON CENTER NOTIFICATION (PCN) Annex VIII to CLP regulation was released in March 2017 to harmonise the variations between poison centre notifications among members states and the new harmonised system became effective from January 2021 (extended from January 2020). Importers and downstream users placing hazardous mixtures (with a health and/or physical effect classification) on the EU market are to provide specific information on your mixtures to the centralized EU poison centre before placing theses mixture on the market. They will have to: Register a unique formula identifier (UFI), Include the UFI on the label for professional and consumer use, Include the UFI in section 1.1 of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for industrial use. Provide and submit to the ECHA harmonised submission portal: The full chemical composition of the mixture Toxicological information of the mixture (SDS Section 11) Product category (according to the new EU product categorization system EUPCS) The safety data sheet and label in the country’s language The UFI (a 16-character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies a formula (mixture composition) in the EU and can be generated on the UFI generator ECHA created) The obligation lies with EU Legal entity (non-EU supplier of the mixture cannot replace the EU-based duty holder). A duty holder can entrust a third party (e.g. CEHTRA) to complete the PCN on their behalf. Importers and downstream users placing mixtures on the market not already notified under national legislation must comply with Annex VIII of the Regulation from the following dates: Hazardous mixtures for consumer and professional use: January 1, 2021 Hazardous mixtures for industrial use: January 1, 2024.

Our services Request support Expert REACH services for chemicals with global support CEHTRA’s consultants have extensive expertise in REACH Authorisation and Restriction, having supported numerous companies with Annex XIV applications and regulatory defence strategies. We assist manufacturers, importers, formulators, and downstream users in navigating the complex processes, from exposure assessment and Chemical Safety Reports (CSR) to Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and Socio-Economic Analysis (SEA). Our multidisciplinary teams combine scientific and regulatory expertise to deliver robust dossiers and defend your interests before ECHA and its committees.

Prioritisation & anticipation Portfolio screening vs SVHC / Annex XIV pipeline and deadline planning. Alternatives scoping and substitution roadmap aligned with business needs. Business-continuity planning and risk assessment to avoid disruptions. Looking for guidance on REACH Authorisation compliance? Find it here. What is REACH Authorisation and why is it required? REACH Authorisation is mandatory for substances of very high concern (SVHC) included in Annex XIV of the REACH Regulation. Companies that manufacture, import, or use these substances must obtain authorisation to continue placing them on the EU market. CEHTRA helps you determine whether your substances are affected and provides strategic support to secure compliance and maintain market access. How do you prepare a successful REACH Authorisation dossier? A strong dossier requires several components: a Chemical Safety Report (CSR), an Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), and a Socio-Economic Analysis (SEA). These demonstrate both the safety of continued use and the socio-economic impact of substitution. CEHTRA’s multidisciplinary experts prepare and defend these dossiers, ensuring that your application meets ECHA’s requirements and stands up to committee review. What are the risks of missing REACH Authorisation deadlines? Failure to submit an authorisation application by the regulatory deadline means that the substance can no longer be legally placed on the EU market. This can disrupt supply chains and impact business continuity. CEHTRA supports companies in anticipating obligations, preparing dossiers on time, and defending their applications to avoid costly interruptions. Explore additional resources Can’t find your answer?

  • Chrome VI Compliance Assessment | CEHTRA

    Use CEHTRA's simplified questionnaire to assess your compliance with the REACH regulation's authorisation procedure for Chrome VI and other substances of very high concern (SVHC). Access the list of SVHC in Annex XIV and the safety data sheet. Start now. CHROME VI HANDLING COMPLIANCE New! Assess your compliance level in a few clicks (substances subject to authorisation within the regulation (EC) N°1907/2006 called REACH regulation) start your assessment Where can I find the list of substances subject to authorisation? The objective of the authorisation procedure is to ensure that substances of very high concern (SVHC) are progressively replaced by other less hazardous substances or technologies when suitable economically and technically viable alternatives exist. Where can I find the list of substances subject to authorisation? The substances concerned and subject to authorisation are listed in Annex XIV of the REACH regulation. Please note that this information is available in section 15 of the safety data sheet. The particular case of Ch rome VI Chrome VI is a special case because its use is currently covered, for downstream users (DU), by the holders of the authorisation dossier (list of holders in point 4 of the questionnaire). It is an "upstream" dossier whose registrants have joined together in a consortium: the CETAC sub. Today, this concerns only Chrome VI. What are the obligations related to the handling of a substance subject to authorisation covered by a Third Party (upstream in the supply chain)? When you purchase and handle a substance subject to an "upstream" authorisation dossier, you face several obligations, including: Ensuring that your use of the substance is covered by your supplier Compliance with the conditions of an authorisation granted to an upstream actor in its supply chain (conditions described in the Exposure Scenario attached to the eSDS) Your notification of use to the ECHA (European Chemical Agency) within 3 months after the first delivery What are the consequences of non-compliance? Penal and administrative sanctions (non-exhaustive list) Following a formal notice: Order the payment of a fine of up to €15,000 and a daily penalty of €1,500 Order the cessation of the activities concerned Order a ban on the import, manufacture or placing on the market or a withdrawal from the market of substances, mixtures, articles, products or equipment. If you: Manufacture, import or use, without the corresponding authorisation decision, a substance, as such or contained in a preparation or article, in disregard of Title VII of the REACH Regulation 75000€ fine, up to 2 years in prison If you: Fail to comply with prohibitions or risk reduction measures taken for the protection of health or the environment 75000€ fine, up to 2 years in prison Source: code de l’environnement, articles L. 521–12, L. 521–18 et L. 521–21 To this end, CEHTRA offers a simplified questionnaire to help you quickly assess whether you have little or no risk of non-compliance, or whether you need to implement corrective actions to be defined in more detail. start your assessment

Endocrine Disruptors (ED): Regulatory Assessment & Strategic Support Expert guidance on EU endocrine disruptor regulations, risk assessment, and strategic compliance solutions. Our services Request support Your partner for safety, compliance, and scientific evaluation of endocrine disruptors Since 2018, the evaluation of endocrine disruption (ED) potential has been a mandatory regulatory requirement for plant protection and biocidal products. In 2023, new hazard classes for ED were introduced under CLP (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008). Further regulatory requirements are also expected in cosmetic, REACH, and pharmaceutical regulations. Our experts support you in anticipating these regulatory changes and ensuring the compliance of your substances and products across multiple markets.

Find it here. What is an endocrine disruptor (ED)? An Endocrine Disruptor (ED) is a substance or a mixture that alters one or more functions of the endocrine system and consequently causes adverse effects in an intact organism, its progeny, populations or subpopulations. Why is ED assessment required under EU regulations? Since 2018, ED assessment has been mandatory under the Plant Protection Products Regulation and Biocidal Products Regulation. In 2023, new hazard classes for endocrine disruptors were added to CLP Regulation. Updates to REACH Regulation, cosmetic and pharmaceutical legislations are expected to extend these requirements further — making ED evaluation essential for market access and compliance in the EU. Is there an official list of endocrine disruptors in the EU? There is currently no single, definitive EU list of all endocrine disruptors. However, several regulatory lists and databases identify or flag substances with suspected or proven ED properties: • The ED assessment list published by European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) • The list of approved and non-approved active substances under Plant Protection Products Regulation and Biocidal Products Regulation • The Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) under REACH Regulation • In France, the Annex I of AGEC law lists substances identified as potential ED These lists are updated regularly, and companies should monitor them closely to anticipate regulatory impacts on their substances or products. CEHTRA has designed a digital tool to detect the presence of substances in those and many other lists of suspected or proven ED. Such data must be interpreted with caution and reviewed by an expert that CEHTRA can provide. Explore additional resources Can’t find your answer? Submit a request

Our team of experts supports companies throughout the entire process, from defining the toxicological assessment strategy and preparing dossiers to submission and ongoing communication with authorities, ensuring that innovative products reach the market efficiently and safely. What safety dossiers are required for food supplements? Bringing food and nutraceutical products to market requires ensuring their safety for consumers. Safety dossiers are therefore essential to demonstrate the safety of ingredients, substances, additives, and/or finished nutraceutical products. These dossiers rely on toxicological data or in silico analyses and provide scientific justification when required by regulations (for example, in cases of dose exceedance or absence of labeling). We prepare comprehensive safety dossiers tailored to regulatory requirements to support the successful and compliant introduction of your products to the market. At what stage of product development should safety evaluation begin? Safety evaluation should start as early as possible in the product development process.

Chemical Risk Assessment Toxicological hazard assessment Evaluation of exposure to substances resulting from contact, migration, or handling of chemical products or articles (e.g. consumer goods such as textiles, sporting goods, fashion accessories, toys, or olfactory decoration items). What’s Included in a Chemical Risk Assessment? Any contact, handling or use of a chemical product or substance may require a risk assessment to ensure the safety of operators, consumers and the environment, as part of an innovation project or regulatory obligations (REACH, GPSR, etc.). Toxicological assessment: assessing the intrinsic capacity of a substance to cause harm and deriving toxicological reference values. Exposure modelling and estimation: assessing the emission process of a chemical substance in contact with humans and the environment, and quantifying their exposure using calculation models. Looking for guidance on chemical risks? Find it here. Who is required to perform a chemical risk assessment, and under which regulatory framework? In the workplace, employers must identify the chemical products used by their employees and assess the risks to their health. This obligation is part of the Single Risk Assessment Document (DUER) required under the French Labour Code. For the placing on the market of chemical substances or articles, manufacturers, importers, and distributors must ensure compliance with European regulations (REACH, CLP, GPSR, etc.) and provide all necessary information, including Safety Data Sheets, exposure scenarios, as well as clear labelling and appropriate instructions for use, to guarantee safe handling and use by both workers and consumers. What are the differences between chemical risks in workplace and those related to consumer products? In the workplace, workers may be regularly exposed over long periods to high concentrations of chemical substances. The implementation of appropriate collective and personal protective equipment (PPE) can help reduce these exposures. Consumers, on the other hand, use consumer products (such as cosmetics, cleaning agents, paints, toys, textiles, etc.) occasionally or repeatedly, which generally contain substances at low concentrations. However, these products concern the general population, including children and vulnerable individuals, and are used without specific protective measures. What should be done when restricted chemical substances exceed the recommended thresholds? Exceeding restriction thresholds requires immediate action: assessing the risk to determine the extent of the non-compliance, securing the manufacturing chain (including substance portfolio management, production processes, and substitution), withdrawing or recalling affected products, and strengthening preventive measures for both workers and consumers.

Find it here. What is the difference between MDR and IVDR in the EU? The Medical Devices Regulation (MDR – EU 2017/745) applies to general medical devices, while the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR – EU 2017/746) focuses on diagnostic devices such as reagents and tests used to examine human samples. Both regulations reinforce safety, clinical evidence and post-market surveillance requirements, but the IVDR introduces a more stringent classification system for diagnostics and closer involvement of Notified Bodies. CEHTRA supports companies in identifying the applicable framework and ensuring compliance with both MDR and IVDR obligations. How to prepare for CE marking of a medical device? CE marking demonstrates that a device complies with EU regulatory requirements and can be legally placed on the market. Preparation involves: • Defining the intended use and classification of the device. • Establishing a Quality Management System (QMS) compliant with ISO 13485. • Conducting a biological safety and risk assessment (ISO 10993). • Preparing the technical documentation including performance and safety data. • Submitting the dossier to a Notified Body (when required). CEHTRA assists manufacturers throughout this process by providing regulatory strategy, dossier preparation, and expert responses to Notified Body questions. What are Clinical Evaluation Reports (CER) and why are they required? A Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) is a mandatory document under MDR that demonstrates the clinical safety and performance of a medical device. It compiles and assesses data from clinical investigations, scientific literature, and post-market experience. CERs are crucial because they provide the evidence required by Notified Bodies to grant CE marking and must be regularly updated throughout the device’s lifecycle. CEHTRA’s consultants support manufacturers in writing and maintaining CERs to ensure robust documentation and smooth regulatory approval. Explore additional resources Can’t find your answer?
