EU CLP-PCN-UFI Registration Guidelines for Surface Disinfectants
I. Background Information
Surface disinfectants typically contain active ingredients such as alcohol, quaternary ammonium salts, sodium hypochlorite, and hydrogen peroxide, possessing bactericidal and bacteriostatic functions. Before being placed on the EU market, they must be classified and labeled according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008), and notification must be completed through the PCN system with the European Centre for Poisoning Control to obtain a UFI code.
II. Registration Requirements
| Conditions | Explanation
| Product Type | Surface disinfectants are mixtures
| Hazard Classification | Usually classified as acute toxicity, skin irritation, eye damage, etc.
| Registration Necessity | PCN-UFI registration is required for sale in the EU market.
III. Application Process
1. Hazard Assessment
Analyze disinfectant composition and concentration
Determine hazard classification according to CLP regulations
Assess the hazard pictograms and signal words to be labeled.
2. Generate UFI Code
Generate using ECHA official tools or authorized software
Format: 21-digit alphanumeric combination (e.g., UFI: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX)
Each formulation corresponds to a unique UFI code.
3. Prepare Technical Documentation
Collect product formulation information (active ingredients, concentration, mutagenicity, etc.)
Prepare first aid measures and hazard statements
Confirm packaging type and language requirements.
4. Submit PCN Notification
Pass ECHA PCN notification. Online submission via Portal
Or submit using IUCLID software
Submission must be made by the responsible entity within the EU (manufacturer/importer/sole representative)
5. Packaging Compliance Labeling
Indicate the UFI code on the product label and in Section 1 of the SDS.
Indicate the hazard pictogram, signal words, and hazard statement as required by CLP.
Ensure the label includes the official language of the destination member state.
IV. Required Materials
Complete product formulation (all ingredients and concentrations)
Physicochemical property data
Hazard classification assessment report
First aid recommendations and medical measures
Packaging information (materials, specifications)
Information on the responsible entity within the EU (OR/importer)
V. Precautions
| Key Points | Explanation
| Responsible Entity | Non-EU companies must designate a sole representative (OR) in the EU.
| Formulation Confidentiality | Formulation information is only used for first aid in cases of poisoning and will not be disclosed.
| Change Notification | Changes to the product formulation must be reported within 30 days.
| Validity Period | Notification information is valid for 3 years and must be renewed upon expiration.
| Member State Requirements | Some countries have additional toxicology center requirements.
