The EU UFI (Unique Formula Identifier, Unique Formula Identifier) registration period is not a fixed value and is affected by many factors. The following is a rough estimate and analysis of UFI registration time:
1. Registration process duration
Preparation stage: Enterprises need to prepare relevant information and materials, including submitter information, product information, mixture information, etc. The time of this stage depends on the efficiency and completeness of the company's preparation of materials.
Create a UFI: Businesses can create a UFI through ECHA’s (European Chemicals Agency) online generator. This process is relatively simple and quick and can usually be completed in a relatively short period of time.
Prepare and submit notification dossiers: Companies need to collect product information, prepare notification dossiers, and submit them through the national submission systems of EU member states. The length of this phase depends on how efficiently the company produces dossiers and how busy the submission system is.
Review and feedback: ECHA or the competent authority of the member state will review the submitted registration information and give feedback. Review times may vary depending on the volume and complexity of submissions.
2. Factors affecting registration time
Material preparation: If the materials prepared by the company are incomplete or do not meet the requirements, they may need to be revised and supplemented multiple times, thus extending the registration time.
System Busyness: During peak registration periods, the submission system may be busy, resulting in longer submission and review times.
Review efficiency: The work efficiency of the review agency will also affect the registration time. If the review agency is adequately staffed and the process is smooth, registration time may be relatively short.
3. Rough estimate
Although the exact registration time cannot be given, based on past experience and process analysis, it can be roughly estimated that UFI registration may take several weeks to several months. The specific time depends on the combined impact of the above factors.
