UK Government to Revoke Annex VIII of EU CLP, Eliminating Poison Centre Notification

The UK Government recently announced the plan to revoke Annex VIII of EU CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) by the end of 2023. This annex requires companies to submit relevant information on hazardous materials placed on the market to responsible bodies, in order to formulate preventative and curative measures in case of accidents. Once the revocation process is complete, UK companies will no longer be required to submit the Poison Centre Notification (PCN) in the harmonized format to the National Poisons Information Service (NPIS).
