Poison centre notification in Poland

Verified against ECHA’s member state overview ·

Poland's appointed body is the Bureau for Chemical Substances in Łódź, and since 1 January 2021 new notifications of hazardous mixtures go through the ECHA Submission portal — the legacy national ELDIOM system stopped taking new notifications at the end of 2020, and pre-2021 ELDIOM notifications lost their validity by 1 January 2025 at the latest.

Polish is required for the dossier content — Poland is on the official-language-only list — but there is no national fee and no confirmation-of-receipt wait before placing the mixture on the Polish market. The Bureau maintains PCN guidance in Polish and an English CLP overview on gov.pl.

What to watch for in Poland

  • Polish language required.
  • Legacy ELDIOM notifications expired by 1 January 2025 — everything current runs through the ECHA portal.
  • No fee; market access on passed validation.

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. See how to submit a PCN for the process end to end, or compare all 30 countries in the country overview table.
