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 old 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, since Poland is on the official-language-only list, but there's 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.
- Old 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, 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.
