One in five hazardous mixtures is not reported to poison control centers
The ECHA Forum's pilot enforcement project showed that 19% of the controlled hazardous mixtures were not reported to poison centres. Inspectors in 18 EU/EEA countries checked 1.597 mixtures to verify whether industry complies with the obligation to report hazardous mixtures to national poison centres. This is regulated under the EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (CLP). These reports are essential for poison centres to provide appropriate medical assistance in case of exposure to hazardous mixtures.
