Notification of dangerous mixtures

Mixtures classified as hazardous, based on the regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, because of its effects on health or because of its physical effectshave to be notified to the Belgian Poison Centre once they are placed on the Belgian market. No matter which kind of firm is placing it on the market.

Belgium chose to use two different systems in parallel:

The e-delivery system of the ECHA PCN portal. This by using the IUCLID format in accordance with Annex VIII of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/542.
More information via https://poisoncentres.echa.europa.eu/en/hom
The national system , electronically in XML format compliant with Annex VIII of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/542.
The national procedure is more convenient for companies that place mixtures only on the Belgian market.
To use the national system please contact us at 02 264 96 36.

You may choose between one of those two systems to notify your products to the Poison Centre. It is not necessary to notify via the two systems for the products placed on the market in Belgium.

Warning: in the case you would submit your notifications through both systems in parallel, you would be charged with the double amount of fee. It is indeed technically compulsory to process the double notifications coming from both systems. It therefore leads to a double work of our team.

Fee to be paid for each notified hazardous mixture

In compliance with Article 9 of the Royal decree of 13 November 2011 laying down the charges and contributions to be paid to the Budgetary fund of raw materials and products, the person responsible for placing a hazardous mixture on the Belgian market must pay a one-time fee (i.e. he must pay only once) for each notified mixture or group of equivalent mixtures.

The payment of the retribution fee must happen before the notification. It is necessary to fill in the Excel file and send it back to retributies_chemische_stoffen@health.fgov.be(link sends e-mail) for verification and linking the payment to the notification(s).

The proof of payment has to be send to:

retributies chemische_stoffen@health.fgov.be(link sends e-mail) if the notification was done through the ECHA-portal
the Belgian Poison Center if the notification was made through the national system of the Poison Center.
