What is a UFI?

As Kompass Europe, we assist companies operating in the chemical, cosmetic, and cleaning product sectors in obtaining UFI numbers and completing PCN registrations seamlessly across all European Union countries.

What is a UFI Number and What Does It Do?

UFI (Unique Formula Identifier) is a unique code used for hazardous chemical mixtures. It is placed on product labels and provides the following:

• Critical Information for Poison Centers: In cases of poisoning, healthcare professionals can quickly access product composition information using the UFI number, allowing them to implement the correct treatment plan.

• Emergency Response: Firefighters and other emergency responders can determine the hazard class of the product using the UFI number and take appropriate precautions.

• Product Traceability: It facilitates the control, tracking, and, when necessary, recall of hazardous products on the market.
  
  

What is PCN (Poison Centre Notification)?

PCN is the process of submitting information on hazardous chemical mixtures to European Poison Centres. The notification includes the following information:

• The product's UFI number

• Full chemical composition (including concentrations)

• Toxicological information

• Product category, packaging information, and other details
  
  

Who Needs UFI and PCN?

• All companies placing hazardous chemical mixtures on the market in the European Union.

• Products classified as hazardous, such as cleaning products, paints, adhesives, and certain types of cosmetics.

• Products that pose a physicochemical hazard (flammable, explosive) or a health hazard (acute toxicity, skin corrosion).
