Poison centre notification in Netherlands
Verified against ECHA’s member state overview ·
The Netherlands routes PCN dossiers from the ECHA Submission portal to the National Poisons Information Centre (NVIC) at UMC Utrecht; since 1 January 2021 companies no longer notify NVIC directly. Dutch or English is accepted, there's no fee, and validation alone opens the market.
NVIC's product-notification information is on the productnotificatie.nl portal (the Dutch spelling; older references to productnotification.nl point to the same NVIC/UMC Utrecht service). Enforcement sits with the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) and the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT).
What to watch for in Netherlands
- Dutch or English accepted.
- NVIC contact for product notification: productnotificatie@umcutrecht.nl.
- Enforcement split between NVWA and ILT.
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.
