Poison centre notification in Czech Republic
Verified against ECHA’s member state overview ·
The Czech Republic moved its notification duty from the national CHLAP register to the ECHA Submission portal on 1 January 2021 under Act No. 543/2020 Sb., and has kept the CHLAP database only as an information-support system for the Toxicological Information Centre in Prague.
Dossiers must be in Czech, since the Czech Republic is on the official-language-only list, but there's no national fee and no confirmation-of-receipt wait. The Ministry of Health publishes methodological guidance on Annex VIII notifications; the current version is dated April 2025.
What to watch for in Czech Republic
- Czech language required for the dossier content.
- The Prague Toxicological Information Centre (TIS) is the operational poison centre; the Ministry of Health is the appointed body.
- MSD v14 marks the Czech entry with 'more information'; check the ministry guidance for procedural details.
The submission itself is the same in every member state that accepts the ECHA route: a PCN dossier in ECHA’s current format, with the mixture’s UFI, its full composition and its product category. See how to submit a PCN for the process end to end, or compare the 30 countries in the country overview table.
