The deadline for the PCN transitional arrangement is approaching! – January 2025 marks the end of the transition period for the new harmonized European notifications, PCNs. This means that for every product placed on the European market that meets the requirements of the regulation, the dossier must be submitted and updated according to the harmonized format in all countries where it is placed on the market.
One Health recognizes the complex interplay between human, animal and plant health, food safety, the climate crisis and environmental sustainability. The cross-sectoral implementation of this approach is crucial to better enable the EU and its Member States to prevent, predict, detect and respond to health threats. It will mitigate the impact and social costs of such threats, or even prevent their emergence, while helping to reduce human pressure on the environment and safeguard important societal needs such as food security and access to clean air and water.
Inspections
Inspections under the REACH-EN-FORCE project (REF-13), coordinated by the Enforcement Forum of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), will start at the same time as this date. These inspections aim to protect human health by verifying the information submitted to the ECHA portal and its compliance with product labels and safety data sheets. ECHA will publish further information on the inspections in the coming months. However, the first six months of 2025 have already been set as the duration. The results are to be presented at the end of this year.
Parallel inspections
In addition, other parallel inspections within the same project focus on products sold online and check the classification, labeling and packaging (CLP Regulation) of these mixtures.
