About this directory

Every EU and EEA country appoints a poison centre (or an equivalent body) that must be reachable in a poisoning emergency. Under CLP, companies placing hazardous mixtures on the market notify these centres, and the relevant emergency number belongs in section 1.4 of the safety data sheet and, where required, on the product label.

This directory lists one canonical centre per country with its emergency line and hours. Several countries run more than one regional centre; where that applies, the alternates and the official notification (PCN) body are noted on the card. Always confirm the current number against the centre's own website before you print it.

Provided for reference only and subject to change. This is not medical advice and is not a substitute for the official information published by each national poison centre or by ECHA. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

Turn your safety data into a compliant label.
