Iceland is now accepting PCN through ECHA’s submission portal.

Under Annex VIII to the CLP Regulation, importers and downstream users placing hazardous mixtures on the EU market are to provide specific information on their mixtures to appointed bodies. The platform for submission is called “Poison Center Notifications” (PCN), and companies dealing with certain hazardous chemicals and mixtures are obligated to report and provide information to it. On 31 August 2022 it was announced that Iceland has joined ECHA’s submission portal and from now on would accept PCN submissions through ECHA’s submission portal. It is expected that Bulgaria and Slovakia would join the ECHA’s submission portal. Currently, both countries remain unconnected to ECHA’s submission system. However, it is reported that both counties are in process of working through the onboarding procedure.
