Poison centre notification in Sweden
Verified against ECHA’s member state overview ·
Sweden's PCN route is simple: ECHA Submission portal, Swedish or English, no fee, market access on validation. The appointed body is the Swedish Poisons Information Centre (Giftinformationscentralen, part of the Medical Products Agency).
Like its Nordic neighbours, Sweden adds a national inventory on top. Chemical products manufactured in or imported into Sweden at 100 kg or more per product per year must be notified to the Products Register at the Swedish Chemicals Agency (KemI), and registrants whose notifiable volume reaches 1,000 kg per year pay an annual chemical fee. The PCN and the Products Register are separate systems with separate deadlines.
What to watch for in Sweden
- Separate KemI Products Register duty at ≥100 kg/year per product; annual chemical fee at ≥1,000 kg/year.
- Swedish or English accepted.
- Appointed body is part of the Medical Products Agency (Läkemedelsverket).
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.
