Poison centre notification in Norway

Norway, an EEA member, split its Article 45 role between two bodies: the Poisons Information Centre at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health handles the emergency-response side, and the Norwegian Environment Agency's Product Register handles the data. PCN dossiers travel through the ECHA Submission portal and are accepted in Norwegian, Danish, Swedish or English.

The parallel national duty is the one to budget for. CLP-labelled chemicals manufactured in or imported into Norway at 100 kg or more per year must also be declared to the Product Register, with the declaration number quoted in SDS section 15.1 and annual quantity reporting due by 15 March. From 1 January 2026 the declaration carries a fee of NOK 890 per chemical for the first hundred chemicals and NOK 140 for each beyond that. A harmonised PCN doesn't discharge the Product Register duty, and a Product Register declaration isn't a PCN.

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.
