Poison centre notification in Lithuania
Verified against ECHA’s member state overview ·
Lithuania applies the EU rules with no national additions: PCN dossiers go through the ECHA Submission portal in Lithuanian or English, there is no fee, no extra national product notification, and the mixture may be placed on the Lithuanian market as soon as automated validation passes.
The appointed body is the Poison Control and Information Bureau (Apsinuodijimų kontrolės ir informacijos biuras) in Vilnius, which also runs the national poisoning-information service. Enforcement sits with the Environmental Protection Agency, and the penalty framework is in Article 308 of the Code of Administrative Offences: €150–1,450 for failing to provide hazardous-mixture composition information for prevention and treatment, and €340–4,300 for CLP classification, labelling and UFI violations — fines levied on responsible individuals and directors rather than the legal entity.
What to watch for in Lithuania
- No national extras, no fee — the cleanest Baltic route.
- Penalties under ANK Art. 308 target responsible individuals (€150–1,450 and €340–4,300 tiers).
- Enforcement by the Environmental Protection Agency (AAA).
The submission itself is the same in every member state that accepts the ECHA route: a PCN dossier in ECHA’s current format, carrying the mixture’s UFI, full composition, and product category.
