Poison centre notification in Finland

Finland is the only EU/EEA country in ECHA's overview that requires notification in more than one official language: PCN dossiers for the Finnish market must carry the content in both Finnish and Swedish. Everything else about the route is standard: ECHA portal, no fee, market access once validation passes.

Finland also keeps a separate national obligation: the chemical notification to Tukes through the KemiDigi system under the national Chemicals Act, which sits alongside the Annex VIII PCN rather than replacing it. Tukes shares the appointed-body role with the Poison Information Centre at Helsinki University Hospital (HUS).

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.
