Navigating post-transition Poison Centre requirements: EU and global perspectives

Stage 1 - Thursday 21 May, 14:00-14:15

The transition period for EU Poison Centre Notifications (PCNs) officially ended on 1st January 2025, meaning all hazardous mixtures in the EU must be notified using the harmonised format and timely updates to notifications are required when changes to products are made.

However, this is not the whole story.

Join Gill Pagliuca, Regulatory Products Knowledge Leader for Ricardo, as she explores the interplay between EU harmonisation, national divergences, and global trends, offering practical insights into compliance, supply chain communication, and leveraging SDS and ER data to meet both current and emerging obligations across jurisdictions.
